  2. 1. Assessment of existing concrete bridges : bending stiffness as a performance indicator

    Author : Markus Bergström; Paulo J. de S. Cruz; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : Optimizing the use of existing civil reinforced concrete (RC) structures could be interpreted in such a way as to say that the capacity should be used and taken care of in an effective manner, both from a technical and economical point of view, keeping the safety in mind. Achieving this requires thorough understanding of the structure and also of the tools used for assessing current and future capacity and needs. READ MORE

  4. 2. Vibrations in timber floors : Dynamic properties and human perception

    Author : Kirsi Jarnerö; Anders Professor; Tomi Toratti; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wooden floor; timber floor; vibration; design criteria; damping; frequency; questionnaire; field test; socio-vibrational survey; vibration annoyance; vibration disturbance; Byggteknik; Civil engineering;

    Abstract : Springiness and vibrations of timber floors are familiar to many as a ‘live’ feelwhen walking on them, especially if living in single family housing with timberframework. Since the building regulations in Sweden changed to performancedependentrequirements in 1994 the use of timber in multifamily housing hasincreased. READ MORE

  5. 3. Resonance Testing of Asphalt Concrete

    Author : Anders Gudmarsson; Nils Rydén; Björn Birgisson; Mihai Marasteanu; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Resonance frequencies; Modal testing; Frequency response functions; Cyclic loading; Tension-compression tests; Complex modulus; Complex Poisson’s ratio;

    Abstract : This thesis present novel non-destructive laboratory test methods to characterize asphalt concrete. The testing is based on frequency response measurements of specimens where resonance frequencies play a key role to derive material properties such as the complex modulus and complex Poisson’s ratio.

    Abstract : Climate change and densification of cities are two major global challenges. Inthe building and construction industry, there are great expectations that tall timberbuildings will constitute one of the most sustainable solutions. First, verticalurban growth is energy and resource-efficient. READ MORE
