  1. 21. Development of a Morphology-based Analysis Framework for Asphalt Pavements

    Författare :Ibrahim Onifade; Björn Birgisson; Nicole Kringos; Denis Jelagin; William G. Buttlar; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Morphology; damage; X-ray computed tomography; top-down cracking; fracture; Morfologi; skador; röntgendatortomografi; ’top-down’sprickbildning; fraktur; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : The morphology of asphalt mixtures plays a vital role in their properties and behaviour. The work in this thesis is aimed at developing a fundamental understanding of the effect of the asphalt morphology on the strength properties and deformation mechanisms for development of morphology-based analysis framework for long-term response prediction.

  3. 22. Bridge Overhang Slabs with Edge Beams : LCCA and Structural Analysis for the Development of New Concepts

    Författare :José Javier Veganzones Muñoz; Costin Pacoste; Raid Karoumi; Lars Pettersson; Rui Vaz Rodrigues; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Overhang slab; Edge beam; Life-cycle Cost Analysis; Non-linear FE-analysis; Design methods; Shear force; Failure mode; Effective width; Minimal width.; Konsolplattor; Kantbalkar; Livscykelkostnadsanalys; Icke-linjär FE-analys; Dimensioneringsmetoder; Tvärkrafter; Brott; Fördelningsbredd; Minimal bredd.; Bro- och stålbyggnad; Structural Engineering and Bridges;

    Sammanfattning : Bridge edge beams are associated with high life-cycle costs because of the need of maintenance, which also causes traffic disturbances. For this reason, the Swedish Transport Administration started a project to find better solutions. One of the proposals was a design without edge beam. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Designing out waste - Exploring barriers for material recirculation

    Författare :Isabel Ordonez Pizarro; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; waste sorting; sustainable development; Water; Waste; Urban; waste management; Resources; resource recovery; ​Recycling; designing with waste; recycling;

    Sammanfattning : This doctoral thesis has investigated what hinders material recirculation in society, to later suggest possible ways to support material recirculation in the future. Since material recirculation is proposed as a way to use waste materials for new production, it was deemed relevant to investigate two separate case studies that enabled recirculation from production systems and waste management.

  5. 24. Life cycle assessment of bridges, model development and case studies

    Författare :Guangli Du; Raid Karoumi; Håkan Sundquist; Gervásio Helena dos Santos; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Sustainable construction; Life cycle assessment; LCA; Global warming; Bridge LCA; CO2 emissions; Cumulative energy demand; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Byggvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : In recent decades, the environmental issues from the construction sector have attracted increasing attention from both the public and authorities. Notably, the bridge construction is responsible for considerable amount of energy and raw material consumptions. LÄS MER
