  2. 1. Design for Serviceability - A probabilistic approach

    Author : Daniel Honfi; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; design codes; long-term deflections; structural reliability; serviceability;

    Abstract : In many design situations the acceptable performance of structures is defined by serviceability requirements. To estimate the probability of serviceability failure three main design aspects should be considered: (1) the relevant exposures, (2) the structural response and (3) the performance criteria.

  4. 2. Vibrations in Lightweight Buildings - Perception and Prediction

    Author : Juan Negreira; Teknisk akustik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Psycho-vibratory evaluation; Vibrations; Timber floors; Lightweight; Measurements; Serviceability criteria; Vibration annoyance; Vibration acceptability; Elastomer; Finite element method; Prediction Tools.;

    Abstract : When the Swedish construction code (in 1994) allowed wooden multi-storey buildings to be built, this type of lightweight construction became popular due to its low cost and ease of construction, and also because wood is a plentiful resource in Sweden. Drawbacks in such buildings are disturbing vibrations and noise propagating in the construction, especially through junctions. READ MORE

  5. 3. Vibration of Low-Frequency Floors - Dynamic Forces and Response Prediction

    Author : Per-Erik Eriksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with methods for predictive calculations of the vibration response of low-frequency floors, i.e. floors with the lowest natural frequency below 7 to 8 Hz, subjected to pedestrian traffic and other dynamic forces. READ MORE

  6. 4. Subjective assessment of vibrations in lightweight floors

    Author : Junye Wang; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Teknisk akustik; Engineering Acoustics;

    Abstract : Lightweight steel floors arise a lot of attentions because of its advantages, such as cost effective, recyclable, and having a short construction period. On the other hand, low frequency vibrations induced by normal human activities get more and more complains for these types of structures. READ MORE

  7. 5. Composite Bridges : Innovative ways of achieving composite action

    Author : Robert Hällmark; Peter Collin; Ian May; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Composite action; bridges; steel; concrete; shear connectors; prefabrication; coiled spring pins; shear studs; post-installation; design guidance; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : The topic of this thesis is steel-concrete composite bridges and innovative ways of achieving composite action. The typical superstructure consists of three main components: the steel girders, the concrete deck slab and the shear connectors. READ MORE
