1. High-performance and self-compacting concrete in house building. Field tests and theoretical studies of possibilities and difficulties
Abstract : Cast in-situ concrete is the most frequently used materials technology worldwide within production of structural frames in multi-storey residential buildings. In Sweden, this technology dominates the market but is challenged by other competitive production methods. READ MORE

2. Quasi-instantaneous and Long-term Deformations of High-Performance Concrete with Some Related Properties
Abstract : This report outlines an experimental and numerical study on quasi-instantaneous and long-term deformations of High-Performance Concrete, HPC, with some related properties. For this purpose about two hundred small cylinders and about one thousand cubes of eight types of HPC were cast. The age at loading varied between 18h and 28 days. READ MORE

3. Ductility in high performance concrete structures : an experimental investigation and a theoretical study of prestressed hollow core slabs and prestressed cylindrical poles
Abstract : The thesis presents results from a project dealing with ductility in high performance concrete structures. The main objectives were to investigate the material and structural ductility/brittleness of prestressed structural elements of High Performance Concrete (HPC). READ MORE

4. Hardening concrete : measurments and evaluation of non-elastic deformation and associated restraint stresses
Abstract : If a structural member of hardening concrete is restrained to some degree against expansion and contraction during the heating phase of the hydration process and the subsequent contraction phase, stresses will be induced. The issue of primary interest is whether or not these induced stresses will lead to cracking. READ MORE

5. High Performance Finite Element Methods with Application to Simulation of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines and Diffusion MRI
Abstract : Finite element methods have been developed over decades, and together with the growth of computer power, they become more and more important in dealing with large-scale simulations in science and industry.The objective of this thesis is to develop high-performance finite element methods, with two concrete applications: computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with simulation of turbulent flow past a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT), and computational diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (CDMRI).
