  2. 1. Bracing of steel bridges during construction; theory, full-scale tests and simulations

    Author : Hassan Mehri; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bracing; steel-concrete composite; steel; bridge; test; construction; laboratory; experiment; experimental; theory;

    Abstract : A number of steel bridges have suffered lateral-torsional failure during their construction due to their lacking adequate lateral and/or rotational stiffness. In most cases, slight bracing can be of great benefit to the main girders involved through their controlling out-of-plane deformations and enabling the resistance that is needed to be achieved.

  4. 2. I-girder Composite Bridges with Lateral Bracing : Improved load distribution

    Author : Victor Vestman; Peter Collin; Robert Hällmark; Hans Petursson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; assessment; bridge; composite bridge; steel-concrete composite; I-girder; case study; horizontal trusses; lateral bracing; rehabilitation; strengthening; torsional stiffness; upgrading; Byggkonstruktion; Structural Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the subject of lateral bracing between the bottom flanges of I-girder composite bridges. The focus is on the impact of adding lateral bracing on existing bridges, as well as on new bridges. READ MORE

  6. 4. The normal and ACL deficient knee : an in vivo three dimensional kinematic and electromyographic analysis

    Author : Dan K Ramsey; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Knee; Tibia; Femur; Tibiofemoral contact points; Tibiofemoral kinematics; Anterior cruciate ligament; ACL injury; Knee brace; Knee instability; Bone pin; Magnetic resonance imaging; NM; Neuromuscular adaptation; Electromyography.;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to describe the in-vivo 3D kinematics of the normal and ACL deficient knee. Baseline data from normal controls were compared against the pathological knee to assess whether generic functional knee braces reduced abnormal displacements. Moreover, 3D bony contact movements were derived from MRI data. READ MORE

  7. 5. Idiopathic scoliosis : aspects on surgical and non-surgical treatment

    Author : Anastasios Charalampidis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The term scoliosis has been used to describe conditions that lead to deformation of the spine. It derives from the ancient Greek ‘σκολίωσις’ and the root word ‘σκολιός’ which means ‘bent or crooked’. In its most common form, scoliosis is of unknown - idiopathic - cause and origin. READ MORE
