  1. 1. End-Shield Bridges for High-Speed Railway : Full scale dynamic testing and numerical simulations

    Författare :Hesham Elgazzar; Jean-Marc Battini; Mahir Ülker-Kaustell; Morgan Johansson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; high-speed railway; end-shield bridges; structural dynamics; soil structure interaction; full scale bridge testing; controlled forced excitation; hydraulic bridge exciter; frequency response function; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Byggvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : The increasing need for High-Speed Railway (HSR) to reduce the travelling time requires increasing research within this field. Bridges are main components of any railway network, including HSR networks, and the optimization of their design for this purpose would contribute to a faster and more cost effective development of the HSR network.

  3. 2. Strengthening of concrete structures with CFRP : shear strengthening and full scale applications

    Författare :Anders Carolin; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Structures can be in need of strengtheing due to many reasons, which are presented in this thesis. A literature review gives the existing methods for enhancing a structures load bearing capacity. In this thesis focus will be set at external bonding with carbon fibre reinforced polymers. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Application of Fracture Mechanics to Concrete Bridges. Finite element analyses and experiments

    Författare :Mario Plos; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; reinforced concrete; reinforcement splice; full-scale test; shear failure; fracture mechanics; fatigue test; static test; concrete frame corner; non-linear finite element analysis; concrete bridge;

    Sammanfattning : Material models based on fracture mechanics together with non-linear finite element analyses have been used in combination with experiments to study the behaviour of reinforced concrete bridges. The work covers two aspects of interest in the design of concrete bridges.* The shear behaviour was studied in full-scale tests on two highway bridges. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Bracing of steel bridges during construction; theory, full-scale tests and simulations

    Författare :Hassan Mehri; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bracing; steel-concrete composite; steel; bridge; test; construction; laboratory; experiment; experimental; theory;

    Sammanfattning : A number of steel bridges have suffered lateral-torsional failure during their construction due to their lacking adequate lateral and/or rotational stiffness. In most cases, slight bracing can be of great benefit to the main girders involved through their controlling out-of-plane deformations and enabling the resistance that is needed to be achieved.

  7. 5. Hydraulic Behaviour in an Activated Sludge Tank : From Tracer Test through Hydraulic Modelling to Full-Scale Implementation

    Författare :Robert Kjellstrand; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : Hydraulic behaviour in a large denitrifying activated sludge tank, located at the Rya Wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Göteborg Sweden, was investigated and optimized by using fullscale tracer test and hydraulic modelling. The Rya WWTP is a high loaded plant with a small footprint. Expansion of the site is limited due to several restrictions. LÄS MER
