1. In conversation with simulation: The application of numerical simulation to the design of structural nodal connections
Abstract : The thesis explores methods for integration of structural analysis, design and production in a digital design environment. The somewhat ambiguous title implies the ambition to make such integration in relation to the explorative phase of the design process which is described by Donald Schön as having a conversational character.

2. Fatigue of steel bridges : New structural details and the implementation of high strength steel
Abstract : The use of high strength steel has the potential to reduce the amount of steel used in bridge structures and thereby facilitate a more sustainable construction. The amount of steel and what steel grade that can be used in bridge structures and other cyclic loaded structures are often limited by a material degradation process called fatigue. READ MORE

3. Shear walls with double plasterboards : evalutation of design models
Abstract : This thesis presents a part of the ECSC-project Development of dry composite construction systems based on steel in residential application that focus on design recommendations for stabilizing buildings by using shear resistance in the walls. The existing design method suggested and used by the Swedish plasterboard manufacturer Gyproc AB is considered as a bit conservative and it does not consider double plasterboards properly. READ MORE

4. Plastic design of steel bridge girders
Abstract : This thesis assesses the feasibility of a modified plastic design method for continuous steel or composite bridges with slender I-girders. The feasibility evaluation of the design method is closely connected to the moment-rotation relationship of the I-girders at internal supports. READ MORE

5. Robust optimisation of structures : Evaluation and incorporation of variations in simulation based design
Abstract : This thesis concerns the robustness of structures considering various uncertainties. The overall objective is to evaluate and develop simulation based design methods in order to find solutions that are optimal both in the sense of handling typical load cases and minimising the variability of the response, i.e. robust optimal designs.
