1. Anchorage in Concrete Structures : Numerical and Experimental Evaluations of Load-Carrying Capacity of Cast-in-Place Headed Anchors and Post-Installed Adhesive Anchors
Abstract : Various anchorage systems including both cast-in-place and post-installed anchors have been developed for fastening both non-structural and structural components to concrete structures. The need for increased flexibility in the design of new structures and strengthening of existing concrete structures has led to increased use of various metallic anchors in practice. READ MORE

2. Self-compacting concrete : properties of fresh and hardening concrete for civil engineering applications
Abstract : This licentiate thesis consists of three papers, A-C. In Paper A the consequence of using self-compacting concrete for civil engineering applications regarding the fresh and young stage and possible consequences on production techniques are studied. READ MORE

3. Constitutive Modelling and Finite Element Analysis of Concrete Structures with Regard to Environmental Influence
Abstract : A constitutive model for concrete is formulated. Tensile fracture is described using a smeared crack approach where the fracrure energy is considered and the shear stiffneess in the cracked region is gradually reduced as crackling develops. READ MORE

4. Steel fibre corrosion in cracks : durability of sprayed concrete
Abstract : Steel fibre reinforced sprayed concrete is common practice for permanent linings in underground construction. Today there is a demand on "expected technical service life" of 120 years. Thin steel fibres could be expected to discontinue carrying load fast with a decrease of fibre diameter caused by corrosion, especially in cracks. READ MORE

5. Evaluation of concrete structures : strength development and fatigue capacity
Abstract : This licentiate thesis consists of four papers. In paper A the development of tensile and compression strength are presented for old concrete railway trough bridges. The compression strength has usually increased 50 to 100% over the years. However the same could not be said for the tensile strength. READ MORE
