  2. 1. Modelling Alternative Load Paths in Platform-Framed CLT Buildings : A Finite Element Approach

    Author : Johannes Albert Josef Huber; Mats Ekevad; Ulf Arne Girhammar; Sven Berg; Sigurdur Ormarsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; timber; robustness; finite element method; alternative load paths; disproportionate collapse; Träteknik; Wood Science and Engineering;

    Abstract : Timber has become more popular as a construction material during recent years. Engineered wood products, such as glued laminated timber and cross-laminated timber, have enabled the construction of multi-storey buildings. Tall buildings with many occupants need to resist a disproportional collapse in case of unexpected exposures, e.g. READ MORE

  4. 2. Application of Fracture Mechanics to Concrete Bridges. Finite element analyses and experiments

    Author : Mario Plos; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; reinforced concrete; reinforcement splice; full-scale test; shear failure; fracture mechanics; fatigue test; static test; concrete frame corner; non-linear finite element analysis; concrete bridge;

    Abstract : Material models based on fracture mechanics together with non-linear finite element analyses have been used in combination with experiments to study the behaviour of reinforced concrete bridges. The work covers two aspects of interest in the design of concrete bridges.* The shear behaviour was studied in full-scale tests on two highway bridges. READ MORE

  6. 4. Structural Behaviour of Concrete Railway Sleepers

    Author : Rikard Gustavson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; concrete; finite element analysis; three-wire strand; sleeper; bond; strand; pull-through tests; steel encased; push-in tests; bond mechanism; numerical bond model; dynamic loads;

    Abstract : The railway concrete sleeper is an important part of the railway track structure. The sleeper member requires substantial engineering skills during the design and manufacturing process in order to fulfil the requirements set by modern train traffic. READ MORE

  7. 5. Constitutive Modelling and Finite Element Analysis of Concrete Structures with Regard to Environmental Influence

    Author : Ola Dahlblom; Byggnadsmekanik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Finite Elemente Method; Constitutive model; Concrete; Environment; Moisture; Drying; Temperature; Fracture; Fictitious crack model; Smeared Crack; Creep; Shrinkage; Pickett Effect;

    Abstract : A constitutive model for concrete is formulated. Tensile fracture is described using a smeared crack approach where the fracrure energy is considered and the shear stiffneess in the cracked region is gradually reduced as crackling develops. READ MORE
