  2. 1. Prefabricated composite bridges : a study of dry deck joints

    Author : Robert Hällmark; Ian May; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bridge construction; prefabrication; monitoring; Steel Structures; Stålbyggnad;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with prefabricated composite bridges in general, and prefabricated concrete deck elements with dry joints in particular.As outlined in Paper I and Chapter 2 prefabrication has several advantages over in situ construction, and has hence been discussed for decades in the construction business.

  4. 2. Industrial Bridge Engineering -Structural developments for more efficient bridge construction

    Author : Peter Harryson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; product and productivity developments; materials developments; Keywords: Bridges; fibre-reinforced polymers.; industrial construction process; steel-fibre-reinforced ultra-high-performance concrete; design; structural joints; structural developments;

    Abstract : In recent years, growing concern about the deficiencies and lack of efficiency in the construction industry has highlighted the need of research in order to make substantial improvements, rectify incongruities and succeed in progressive development. For bridges, the advantages that can be expected from an industrial construction process are especially interesting. READ MORE

  5. 3. Structural Identification of Civil Engineering Structures

    Author : Tarek Edrees; Andreas Andersson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : The assumptions encountered during the analysis and design of civil engineering structures lead to a difference in the structural behavior between calculations based models and real structures. Moreover, the recent approach in civil engineering nowadays is to rely on the performance-based design approaches, which give more importance for durability, serviceability limit states, and maintenance.

  6. 4. Structural Control and Identification of Civil Engineering Structures

    Author : Tarek Edrees; Francesc Pozo; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Construction Engineering and Management; Byggproduktion; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : In general, the main purpose of a structural control system is to apply powerful control techniques that improve the behaviour of civil structures under various kinds of dynamic loading. The first part of this thesis presents novel applications of posicast and input shaping control schemes that have never previously been applied in the field of structural control. READ MORE

  7. 5. Conservation and maintenance of modern buildings. The need of long-term maintenance of building façades in metropolitan housing areas. A model-proposal for documentation, analysis and intervention

    Author : Pär Meiling; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; long-term-maintenance; documentation and analysis; façade materials and deterioration; integrated conservation and sustainable urban development; residential prefabricated buildings;

    Abstract : ABSTRACTMany European towns, as well as conurbations world wide include a significant amount of residential prefabricated buildings from the late 1950s, 60s and 70s. Housing often is concentrated to suburbs as a result of societal planning and development during this period. READ MORE
