1. Composite Bridges : Innovative ways of achieving composite action
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

3. Simultaneous Topology and Material Optimization of Composite Structures under Uncertainty
Abstract : Composite materials are known to have superior stiffness and strength properties per unit weight compared to metallic materials. These properties and the ability to tailor the mechanical properties of composites is the main motivation for choosing composite materials for structural components. READ MORE

4. Fracture behaviour of Green Wood (Pinus Sylvestris L.) : a composite materials approach
Abstract : The fracture behaviour of green wood has been investigated using a composite materials approach. Through fracture experiments on miniature specimens, it was found that drying of wood leads to damage not only on the macro-level but also at the scale of the cell wall. READ MORE
