2. 1. Structural Behaviour of Deteriorated Concrete Structures

   Author : Kamyab Zandi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; FE analysis; concrete; stirrup; corrosion; bond; pull-out test; frost;

   Abstract : A growing concern for better assessment of existing concrete structures has revealed a need for improved understanding of the structural effects of deterioration. The two most common causes of deterioration in concrete structures are freezing of the concrete and corrosion of the reinforcement. READ MORE

4. 2. Structural Behavior of Reinforced High-Strength Concrete Columns

   Author : Christina Claeson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sustained loading; columns; slenderness; finite element analyses; nonlinear fracture mechanics; high-strength concrete; short-term loading; eccentricity;

   Abstract : The high compressive strength of high-strength concrete is especially advantageous in compressed members such as columns, which can be made more slender and, consequently, make economic benefits possible. However, the behavior of high-strength concrete columns is not yet fully understood. READ MORE

5. 3. Ankle sprain : subjective and objective measures of functional impairment and treatment

   Author : Johan Leanderson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Ankle sprain; epidemiology; postural sway; muscle torque; muscle imbalance; proprioception; joint position sense; figure-of-eight running; sick leave; ankle brace treatment; functional instability; basketball; ballet; soccer; taping; Sickness Impact;

   Abstract : This thesis is based upon a series of studies were performed in order to provide more information about the etiology of late symptoms after ankle sprain, most often referred to as functional instability of the ankle joint. In a retrospective study of basketball players, the incidence of ankle sprains and the prevalence of late symptoms after such an injury were investigated. READ MORE

6. 4. Strengthening of concrete structures by the use of mineral based composites

   Author : Thomas Blanksvärd; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

   Abstract : Strengthening of concrete structures with epoxy bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) has been proved to be an excellent strengthening technique. However, using epoxy adhesives for bonding do contain some disadvantages such as diffusion closeness, thermal incompatibility to the base concrete, regulations regarding the working environment and minimum application temperature.
