  2. 1. Study and Application of Modern Bridge Monitoring Techniques

    Author : Ignacio González; Raid Karoumi; Christian Cremona; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Health Monitoring; Traffic Monitoring; Bridge Monitoring; Bridge Weigh-In-Motion; BWIM; Damage Detection; Suspension Bridge Bearings; Axle Loads; Dynamics;

    Abstract : The field of monitoring is one of rapid development. Advances in sensor technologies, in data communication paradigms and data processing algorithms all influence the possibilities of Structural Health Monitoring, damage detection, traffic monitoring and other implementations of monitoring systems.

  4. 2. Traffic Load Effects on Bridges, Statistical Analysis of Collected and Monte Carlo Simulated Vehicle Data

    Author : Abraham Getachew; KTH; []
    Keywords : bridge; traffic load; transverse distribution; characteristic value; weigh in motion;

    Abstract : Research in the area of bridge design has been and still isconcentrated on the study of the strength of materials andrelatively few studies have been performed on traffic loads andtheir effects. Traffic loads have usually been assumed to begiven in codes. READ MORE

  5. 3. Analysis of traffic load effects an railway bridges

    Author : Gerard James; KTH; []
    Keywords : bridge; rail; traffic load. Load effect. Dynamic amplification factor; extreme value theor; peaks-over-threshold;

    Abstract : The work presented in this thesis studies the load and loadeffects of traffic loads on railway bridges. The increasedknowledge of the traffic loads, simulated using fieldmeasurements of actual trains, are employed in a reliabilityanalysis in an attempt at upgrading existing railwaybridges. READ MORE

  6. 4. Response of cable-stayed and suspension bridges to moving vehicles : Analysis methods and practical modeling techniques

    Author : Raid Karoumi; KTH; []
    Keywords : cable-stayed bridge; suspension bridge; Great Belt suspension bridge; bridge moving loads; traffic-induced vibrations bridge-vehicle interaction; dynamic analysis; cable element; finite element analysis; finite diffrence method; tuned mass damper; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a state-of-the-art-review and twodifferent approaches for solving the moving load problem ofcable-stayed and suspension bridges. The first approach uses a simplified analysis method tostudy the dynamic response of simple cable-stayed bridgemodels. READ MORE

  7. 5. Bridge Edge Beams : LCCA and Structural Analysis for the Evaluation of New Concepts

    Author : José Javier Veganzones Muñoz; Lars Pettersson; Costin Pacoste; Raid Karoumi; Håkan Sundquist; Morgan Johansson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Byggvetenskap;

    Abstract : Bridge edge beams in Sweden may involve up to 60% of the life-cyclemeasure costs incurred along the road bridge’s life span. Moreover, usercosts as means of traffic disturbances are caused. Consequently, the SwedishTransport Administration started a project to find better alternativeedge beam design proposals for the society. READ MORE
