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

2. 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. Assessment of fatigue resistance and strength in existing concrete structures
Abstract : During the last few decades, it has become more and more important to assess, maintain and strengthen structures like bridges, dams and buildings. This is mainly due to the fact that: (a) many structures are getting old and many have started to deteriorate, (b) there is sometimes a need to increase the load carrying capacity of an existing structure due to e.

4. Fracture mechanics analysis of concrete structures
Abstract : This thesis presents results from numerical and analytical analyses of concrete structures as well as results from laboratory tests. Numerical methods based on the finite element method and fracture mechanics are used. The thesis comprises five papers and a general introductory part. READ MORE

5. Safety Format for Non-linear Analysis of RC Structures Subjected to Multiple Failure Modes
Abstract : This thesis treats the safety format for non-linear analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) structures subjected to multiple failure modes. The purpose is to identify questions which are poorly understood and ambiguous about the behaviour of structures that may fail due to a number of possible failure modes (e.g. READ MORE
