1. Implementation and Application of Fracture Mechanics Models for Concrete Structures
Sammanfattning : Two numerical models for simulation of concrete cracking and bond slip have been implemented and applied in various comparative analyses. Both models were implemented in the commercial finite element system ABAQUS. LÄS MER
2. Multiscale Modelling of Reinforced Concrete
Sammanfattning : Since concrete cracks at relatively low tensile stresses, the durability of reinforced concrete structures is highly influenced by its brittle nature. Cracks open up for ingress of harmful substances, e.g. chlorides, which in turn cause corrosion of the reinforcement. LÄS MER
3. Multiscale Modelling of Reinforced Concrete Structures
Sammanfattning : Concrete cracks at relatively low tensile stresses; cracks open up for ingress of harmful substances, negatively affecting the durability of reinforced concrete structures. Crack widths are thus limited in the design codes, and accurate predictions are needed, especially for large reinforced concrete structures such as bridges or nuclear reactor containment buildings. LÄS MER
4. Ductility of Tie Connections in Precast Structures
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
5. Load-Carrying Capacity of Damaged Concrete Structures
Sammanfattning : AbstractA growing need for better assessment of existing structures has revealed the need for improved understanding of structural effects of deterioration. The two most common causes of deterioration in concrete structures are corrosion of reinforcement and freezing of concrete. LÄS MER
