2. 1. Slab Frame Bridges : Structural Optimization Considering Investment Cost and Environmental Impacts

   Author : Majid Solat Yavari; Costin Pacoste-Calmanovici; Raid Karoumi; Mario Plos; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Slab frame bridge; Structural design; Cost optimization; Optimization of environmental impact; Life cycle assessment; Genetic algorithm; Pattern search method; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

   Abstract : This research encompasses the automated design and structural optimization of reinforced concrete slab frame bridges, considering investment costs and environmental impacts. The most important feature of this work is that it focusses on realistic and complete models of slab frame bridges rather than on optimization of only individual members or sections of a bridge.

4. 2. Design of concrete pavements : design criteria for plain and lean concrete

   Author : Johan Söderqvist; Johan Silfwerbrand; Anders Lenngren; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik;

   Abstract : New road infrastructure projects are important and constitute of large investments that have to serve the society for a long time. The investments have to be durable at the lowest life cycle cost and the pavements have to sustain loads from increasing traffic intensity and heavy traffic loads. READ MORE

5. 3. Industrial Fibre Concrete Floors : Experiences and Tests on Pile-Supported Slab

   Author : Jerry Hedebratt; Johan Silfwerbrand; Terje Kanstad; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Pile supported floor slabs have often been designed solely in ultimate limit state ULS and then foremost with uniformly distributed loadings UDL. The investigation of serviceability limit state SLS has been of simpler nature, even according to the governing codes of practice. READ MORE

6. 4. High-performance and self-compacting concrete in house building. Field tests and theoretical studies of possibilities and difficulties

   Author : Markus Peterson; Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Multi-storey residential buildings; Structural frames; SCC; Self-compacting concrete; High-performanceconcrete; HPC; Concrete; Building materials; Cast in-situ concrete;

   Abstract : Cast in-situ concrete is the most frequently used materials technology worldwide within production of structural frames in multi-storey residential buildings. In Sweden, this technology dominates the market but is challenged by other competitive production methods. READ MORE

7. 5. Concrete Structures Subjected to Blast Loading

   Author : Jonas Ekström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dynamic response; numerical modelling; spalling; blast load; stain-softening; wave propagation; concrete; transverse reverse loading; cyclic crack propagation;

   Abstract : The interest for building safety with regards to highly dynamic events such as close by explosion has accelerated after the recent decades of terrorist attacks. The interest has expanded from civil defence shelters and pure military targets to also include civil buildings used for different civil functions. READ MORE
