  2. 1. Fracture mechanics models for fatigue in concrete structures

    Author : Kent Gylltoft; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the application of fracture mechanics to model monotonic and cyclic loading of reinforced concrete structures. The main features of the work are: - Constitutive modelling based on fracture mechanics - Numerical studies of the models in various applications - Experimental studies to check the models and to determine material parameters The fracture mechanics models are formulated on a constitutive level.

  4. 2. Predicting shear type crack initiation and growth in concrete with non-linear finite element method

    Author : Richard Malm; Håkan Sundquist; Anders Ansell; Kent Gylltoft; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; non-linear finte element analysis; concrete; crack width; crack propagation; shear; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik;

    Abstract :   In this thesis, the possibility to numerically describing the behaviour that signifies shear type cracking in concrete is studied. Different means for describing cracking are evaluated where both methods proposed in design codes based on experiments and advanced finite element analyses with a non-linear material description are evaluated.

  5. 3. 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
