1. Recycling of concrete in new structural concrete
Abstract : Concrete waste as crushed concrete aggregates (CCA) in structural concrete gives a new purpose and prolongs the technical life of the reference concrete accomplishing closed loop recycling. This research investigates CCA as aggregate replacement in an industrial reference concrete recipe as fine aggregate fractions and overall aggregate replacement. READ MORE

2. Structural Behaviour of Deteriorated Concrete Structures
Abstract : A growing concern for better assessment of existing concrete structures has revealed a need for improved understanding of the structural effects of deterioration. The two most common causes of deterioration in concrete structures are freezing of the concrete and corrosion of the reinforcement. READ MORE

3. Chloride initiated reinforcement corrosion in marine concrete
Abstract : Factors affecting the total chloride threshold for initiation of pitting corrosion in reinforced concrete were investigated by means of field and laboratory exposure tests. Factors affecting the chloride penetration into concrete were also investigated by means of field tests. The thesis consists of a summary (86 p.) and 11 papers attached. READ MORE

4. Modelling of Concrete Subjected to Cyclic Loading
Abstract : The infrastructure of today depends heavily on concrete structures. Most of these structuresare subjected to repeated loads, known as fatigue or cyclic loads: the loads weakenthe structure. As this phenomenon is of high cost to society, a deeper understanding ofthe deterioration process of cyclic loading would be beneficial. READ MORE

5. A theory of bond applied to overlapped tensile reinforcement splices for deformed bars
Abstract : A bond theory for deformed reinforcing bars in concrete is elaborated taking into account different stages in development of final rupture occurring as splitting or pull-out. The concrete cover splitting resistance is modelled for a thick-walled concrete ring in elastic and plastic stages. Different final possible failure modes are analysed. READ MORE
