  2. 1. Load-Carrying Capacity of Damaged Concrete Structures

    Author : Kamyab Zandi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; frost; bond properties; material properties.; Existing concrete structures; load-carrying capacity; corrosion of reinforcement;

    Abstract : AbstractA growing need for better assessment of existing structures has revealed the need for improved understanding of structural effects of deterioration. The two most common causes of deterioration in concrete structures are corrosion of reinforcement and freezing of concrete. READ MORE

  4. 2. Load carrying capacity of bridges : three case studies of bridges in northern Sweden where probabilistic methods have been used to study effects of monitoring and strengthening

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

    Abstract : Probabilistic methods are presented for the assessment of bridges. Load carrying capacity calculations and evaluations of strengthening methods are carried out for three road bridges in northern Sweden: 1) The E4-bridge over Pite River - A four span steel beam bridge with a concrete deck built in 1969.

  5. 3. Firefighters' physical work capacity

    Author : Ann-Sofie Lindberg; Christer Malm; Juha Oksa; Desiree Gavhed; Peter Krustrup; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physical demands; performance; work capacity; aerobic fitness; anaerobic fitness; muscle strength; muscle endurance; balance; ergonomics; physical testing; SIMCA;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to identify valid, simple, and inexpensive physical tests that can be used for evaluation of firefighters’ physical work capacity. Paper I included fulltime- and part-time firefighters (n = 193), aged 20-60 years. READ MORE

  6. 4. Load-Carrying Capacity of Steel Girders and Panels with Thin-Walled Trapezoidally Corrugated Webs

    Author : Ruoshan Luo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; steel; finite element; thin-walled structures; girder; post-buckling; panel; trapezoidal corrugation; load-carrying capacity; optimal design; plasticity; spline finite strip; buckling; large deflection;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns the load-carrying capacity of steel girders and panels with thin-walled trapezoidally corrugated webs. Computer-based numerical methods are used as a tool and emphasis is placed on various parametric studies, covering geometric parameters, initial imperfections, material strain-hardening models, loading types and loading positions, and so forth.

  7. 5. Load-carrying capacity of a strengthened reinforced concrete bridge : Non-linear finite element modeling of a test to failure. Assessment of train load capacity of a two span railway trough bridge in Örnsköldsvik strengthened with bars of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers (CFRP)

    Author : Arto Puurula; Mario Plos; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : To meet the future traffic demands there is a constant need of making the infrastructure moreeffective. This can be achieved by increasing the capacity and/or life length of traffic lines. READ MORE
