  2. 16. Towards a sustainable road infrastructure in an age of digitization: opportunities and challenges

    Author : Zhuhuan Liu; Nicole Kringos; Romain Balieu; Aikaterini (Katerina) Varveri; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Sustainable infrastructure; Pavement Maintenance; Optimization; Neutron tomography; Self-healing; Hållbar infrastruktur; Vägunderhåll; Optimering; Neutronavbildning; Självläkning; Structural Engineering and Bridges; Bro- och stålbyggnad;

    Abstract : Pavement system plays an indispensable role in the socio-economic and sustainable development of every modern society. Yet, pavement construction and maintenance is also responsible for a significant fraction of the GHG emissions from the whole transport sector. READ MORE

  4. 17. Application of a Sandwich Construction on a Superstructure of a High Speed Ferry

    Author : Gaurav Ahuja; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; catamaran; pitch connecting moment; carbon fibre; natural frequency analysis; light weight structure; structural optimisation.; torsional moment; glass fibre; Sandwich construction; finite element analysis;

    Abstract : Usage of light weight materials has gained momentum in the marine market in the last few decades. This rise has lead to some ships using parts fabricated out of materials like glass and carbon fibre. READ MORE

  5. 18. Differential geometry and structural action of vaults and shells

    Author : Emil Adiels; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Masonry vaults and bridges, concrete shells, and steel and timber grid shells are all examples of shell structures. Their beauty, spatial qualities, structural efficiency and manufacturing are closely tied to their geometry. READ MORE

  6. 19. Prestress in Nature and Technics

    Author : Alexander Sehlström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geometrical stiffness; Prestress; Form finding; Architecture; Structural design; Stress pattern; Engineering; Conceptual design;

    Abstract : To direct the forces of nature is a central task in the creation of spaces and load-carrying structures for architecture. This research investigates how prestress can be used as a design tool for the creation of material efficient and well-functioning structures, and in early design stages contribute to sustainable, functional and beautiful architecture.
