  2. 1. Service Life Assessment of Harbor Structures - Case studies of chloride ingress into concrete and sheet piling corrosion rates

    Author : Henrik Wall; Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; chloride ingress; sampling methods; corrosion rates; sheet piling; ultra-sonic measurements; service life; durability; quay structures; harbor structures;

    Abstract : The two most used building materials in harbor structures are undoubtedly steel and concrete. These two materials are often combined in the structures of wharfs and quays where the steel sheet pile walls often have cap beams of reinforced concrete. READ MORE

  4. 2. Mechanical Characterisation of Coatings and Composites-Depth-Sensing Indentation and Finite Element Modelling

    Author : Zhi-Hui Xu; KTH; []
    Keywords : dept-sensing indentation; nanoindentation; finite element method; atomic force microscope;

    Abstract : In the past two decades depth-sensing indentation has becomea widely used technique to measure the mechanical properties ofmaterials. This technique is particularly suitable for thecharacterisation of materials at sub-micro or nano scale thoughthere is a tendency to extend its application to the micro ormacro scale. READ MORE

  5. 3. Timber Pile-Supported Embankments : Arching and Reinforcement

    Author : Per Gunnvard; Jan Laue; Hans Mattsson; Qi Jia; Luc Thorel; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; timber piles; piled embankment; geosynthetic reinforcement; geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported embankment; arching; finite element method; full-scale test; Geoteknik; Soil Mechanics;

    Abstract : Reduced climate impact is a worldwide strive today. The foundation engineering industry is continuously searching for more sustainable solutions to reduce resource usage and pollutions directly or indirectly. One such solution is timber piling, as an alternative to the commonly used concrete and steel piles. READ MORE

  6. 4. WINDMILL FOUNDATIONS ON WEAK SOILS

    Author : Wael Mahmoud Mohamed Mohamed; Byggnadsmekanik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Much scientific evidence indicates that the Earth's climate is changing and the world has become more concerned about the global climate. This has encouraged many countries to consider future clean power production with wind power taking an increasing part. READ MORE

  7. 5. ONSHORE WINDMILL FOUNDATIONS - Evaluation of new proposals

    Author : Wael Mahmoud Mohamed Mohamed; Byggnadsmekanik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Onshore windmill foundations; Reuse of foundations; Active stabilisation systems; Conical footings;

    Abstract : Windmill structures must withstand very high horizontal loading giving an extremely large overturning moment on the foundation. These structures have very low stability loads in comparison to the overturning loads. READ MORE
