1. Product model based design of precast facades
Abstract : In Finland, approximately 80 % of the facades of buildingsare manufactured as precast units. Currently one of theobstacles to making the overall design and construction ofprecast building facades more efficient is the inefficientexchange of data about facades between architects, structuralengineers and precast element manufacturers.

2. Ductility of Tie Connections in Precast Structures
Abstract : Precast concrete structures are normally provided with tie connections that make it possible to transfer tensile forces across the joints. The tie connections are essential for the structural integrity and can contribute to the formation of alternative load-bearing systems in case of local damages of the structure. READ MORE

4. Concrete pavements’ repair techniques and numerical assessment of dowel bar load transfer efficiency
Abstract : Concrete pavements are a suitable alternative for high-traffic volume roads, concentrated loads and roads exposed to severe weather conditions. In Sweden, among other reasons, the scarcity of concrete pavements is attributed to the need for more national knowledge and expertise in the field. READ MORE

5. Shear and Torsion Interaction in Prestressed Hollow Core Slabs
Abstract : There are many applications in which hollow core units are subjected to combined torsion and shear, for example in floors supported on three edges and in floors with openings. The traditional calculation method for combined shear and torsion in hollow-core units adds stresses from various sources without taking into account deformations and compatibility within the unit or restraint at the boundaries.
