  2. 21. Consideration of the non-linear behaviour of joints for efficient design of complex timber structures

    Author : Dorotea Caprio; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; joints; elastic stiffness; ductility; regression model; reliability-based; connections;

    Abstract : The re-emergence of timber as a construction material, facilitated by the development of modern engineered wood products, has enabled the creation of modern and complex timber structures. A detailed description of the load-displacement curves of timber joints is required. READ MORE

  4. 22. Escalation: Explorative studies of high-risk situations from the theoretical perspectives of complexity and joint cognitive systems

    Author : Johan Bergström; Lunds universitets centrum för riskanalys och riskhantering (LUCRAM); []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; escalation; resilience engineering; crisis; emergency; patient safety; simulation; complexity; joint cognitive systems;

    Abstract : The main aim of the research is to explore different aspects of organisational resilience in escalating situations, with an investigation of both theoretical and practical implications. From the platform of an explorative approach, this study makes use of naturalistic research in the domain of health care and experimental simulation studies, in order to establish a broad theoretical framework vis-à-vis the processes of escalation.

  5. 23. Improving incident reports in the swedish armed forces

    Author : Ulrica Pettersson; Försvarshögskolan; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Incident reports; lessons learned; design science; memory psychology; cued recall; eyewitness testimony; Ledningsvetenskap; Ledningsvetenskap; Incident reports; lessons learned; design science; memory psychology; cued recall; eyewitness testimony;

    Abstract : It is generally maintained that learning should be a part of the daily routines of many organizations; this is often referred to as lesson learned processes. The purpose of organizational learning is to foster improvements that seek to both reduce incidents and accidents and reduce their consequences when they nevertheless happen. READ MORE

  6. 24. Novel approaches for monitoring effects of steel corrosion in reinforced concrete

    Author : Andreas Alhede; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Reinforced Concrete; Neutron and X-ray Computed Tomography; Corrosion; Distributed Optical Strain Sensing;

    Abstract : Corrosion of steel reinforcement is a common deterioration mechanism in reinforced concrete structures. This deterioration impacts the safety of the structure and may require extensive repair and maintenance work. There is currently no method available for accurately measuring internal corrosion damage non-destructively. READ MORE

  7. 25. Sustainability and Flexural Behaviour of Textile Reinforced Concrete

    Author : Natalie Williams Portal; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Life Cycle Assessment LCA ; sustainability; Textile Reinforced Concrete; TRC; facade elements; flexural behaviour; non-linear finite element analyses; structural tests;

    Abstract : Concrete reinforced with conventional steel is one of the most commonly used building materials, yet it has historically shown disadvantages in terms of durability and vulnerability to corrosion attack. Various remedial methods have been applied to overcome the shortcomings of this building material, such as increasing the concrete cover, which, however, leads to an increased self-weight of the structure.
