  1. 1. Composite Bridges : Innovative ways of achieving composite action

    Författare :Robert Hällmark; Peter Collin; Ian May; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Composite action; bridges; steel; concrete; shear connectors; prefabrication; coiled spring pins; shear studs; post-installation; design guidance; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The topic of this thesis is steel-concrete composite bridges and innovative ways of achieving composite action. The typical superstructure consists of three main components: the steel girders, the concrete deck slab and the shear connectors. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Fatigue of existing steel bridges : Reliability and risk analyses for decision-making

    Författare :Ruoqi Wang; John Leander; Raid Karoumi; Boulent Imam; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fatigue; steel bridges; decision-making; reliability analysis; risk analysis; spatial correlation; system modelling; inspection and maintenance; Utmattning; stålbroar; beslutsfattande; tillförlitlighet; riskanalys; rumslig korrelation; systemmodellering; inspektion och underhåll; Bro- och stålbyggnad; Structural Engineering and Bridges;

    Sammanfattning : Fatigue is one of the primary reasons that limit the service life of steel bridges. Many bridges in Sweden and other countries have progressively approached their anticipated service lives. Since funding and resources are limited, simultaneously replacement or maintenance of bridges is impractical. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Upgrading concrete bridges : post-tensioning for higher loads

    Författare :Jonny Nilimaa; Mohammad Al-Emrani; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Concrete; Bridges; Upgrading; Strengthening; Shear; Field testing; Post-tensioning; Prestressing; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Sammanfattning : There are a great number of old structures around the world, some of which were designed for completely different purposes than in their current application. Swedish railway bridges were for example only designed for maximum axle loads of 200 kN in the beginning of the 20th century, while the highest axle loads of today are twice as high. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Concrete Bridges : Improved Load Capacity

    Författare :Jonny Nilimaa; Terje Kanstad; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Sammanfattning : There are many beautiful old structures around the world, some of which were designed for completely different purposes than their current applications. For example, Swedish railway bridges were only designed to carry axle loads up to 200 kN in the beginning of the 20th century, while modern loads can be twice as high. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Structural assessment procedures for existing concrete bridges : Experiences from failure tests of the Kiruna Bridge

    Författare :Niklas Bagge; Björn Täljsten; Paulo Cruz; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Anchorage; carbon fibre reinforced polymers; concrete; existing bridges; finite element analysis; flexure; full-scale test; load-carrying capacity; residual prestress force; punching; safety verification; shear; structural assessment; structural behaviour; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    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
