6. Corrosion of steel bars in fibre reinforced concrete: corrosion mechanisms and structural performance
Sammanfattning : The viability of employing fibre reinforcement to improve the durability performance of RC structures by delaying and/or reducing rebar corrosion and by mitigating the structural impact of corrosion-induced damage have been investigated. Given the enhanced crack control of FRC, it could be advantageous to use fibres in civil engineering structures to decrease the ingress of corrosion-initiation substances. LÄS MER
7. Development of connections for fibre reinforced bridge elements and an analysis of sustainability
Sammanfattning : The deterioration of existing bridge structures due to a number of causes has led researchersto pursue new construction materials with high performance, such as fibre reinforced polymer(FRP) composite materials. The inherent properties of FRP materials are their light weight,high strength and high resistance to aggressive environments. LÄS MER
8. Structural assessment procedures for existing concrete bridges : Experiences from failure tests of the Kiruna Bridge
Sammanfattning : Assessing existing bridges is an important task in the sustainable management ofinfrastructure. In practice, structural bridge assessments are usually conducted usingtraditional and standardised methods, despite knowledge that these methods oftenprovide conservative estimates. LÄS MER
9. Effects of Steel Fibres on Cracking in Reinforced Concrete
Sammanfattning : ABSTRACTAlthough it is well known that fibre reinforcement acts as a crack arresting agent, there is still a need for deeper knowledge of the actual cracking behaviour, especially regarding cracks with widths smaller than 0.3mm. LÄS MER
10. Strengthening reinforced concrete structures with FRP composites
Sammanfattning : Civil infrastructures made of reinforced concrete (RC) play an important role in the economic activities and services of society. However, signs of deterioration and functional deficiency are commonly found in existing RC structures. Thus, there is a great demand for upgrading the capacity and performance of existing concrete structures. LÄS MER
