2. 1. Restraint Effects in Concrete Bridges : A Study of Cracking due to Thermal Actions and Shrinkage in Portal Frame Bridges

   Author : Erik Gottsäter; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Tvång; Betong; Uppsprickning; Temperaturlast; Plattrambro; FE-analys; Restraint; Concrete; Cracking; Thermal action; Portal frame bridge; FE-analysis;

   Abstract : Thermal actions and shrinkage cause volume changes in concrete structures. In structures which are restrained from movements, the restraint effects can cause cracking. However, when cracking occurs, the structure can deform to some extent, which reduces the restraint stresses and thus also the crack widths. READ MORE

4. 2. Analysis of geometrically modified adhesive joints in steel beams strengthened with composite laminates

   Author : Reza Haghani Dogaheh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; FE analysis; Stress concentration; Fillet; Laminate; Reverse tapering; Normal tapering; Adhesive joint; FRP;

   Abstract : The use of bonded FRP laminates to strengthen and upgrade existing structures has attracted a great deal of attention during the past two decades. The attractiveness of this method is mainly due to the superior material properties of FRP laminates such as high strength and stiffness, as well as advantages associated with the bonding technique, such as ease of application and good fatigue performance.

5. 3. Warhead penetration in concrete protective structures

   Author : Håkan Hansson; Anders Ansell; Mattias Unosson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Warhead penetration; FE analysis; experiment; material modelling; fortifications; Stridsdelspenetration; FE-analyser; experiment; materialmodellering; fortifikationer;

   Abstract : The analysis of penetration of warheads in concrete protective structures is an important part of the study of weapon effects on protective structures. This type of analysis requires that the design load in the form of a warhead is determined, and its characteristic and performance within a protective structure is known. READ MORE

6. 4. Climate Related Thermal Actions for Reliable Design of Concrete Structures

   Author : Oskar Larsson; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermal stress; solar radiation; FE-analysis; climate data; box-girder bridge; KstrConcrete; KstrReliability;

   Abstract : When the temperature changes in the environment the temperature will also change in a structure. Complex interactions of climate factors affect the temperature changes. When the temperature is varied in a material it will expand or contract, and movements will be produced. READ MORE

7. 5. Shear cracks in concrete structures subjected to in-plane stresses

   Author : Richard Malm; Håkan Sundquist; Kent Gylltoft; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Shear; plane state stress; crack width; FE analysis; design standards; serviceability state; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

   Abstract : After only two years of service, extensive cracking was found in the webs of two light-rail commuter line bridges in Stockholm, the Gröndal and Alvik bridges. Due to this incident it was found necessary to study the means available for analysing shear cracking in concrete structures subjected to in-plane stresses. READ MORE
