  1. 11. Global analysis of a tubed structural system for an inclined slender tall building

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Författare :LYDIA FOTEINI MARANTOU; PAULINA CHOJNICKA; [2017]
    Nyckelord :inclined tall building; Tubed Mega Frame; truss system; diagrid; concrete; composite; P-delta;

    Sammanfattning : Building engineering is called upon to keep up with the pace and challenges of modern design, which aims not only to build higher and greener, but also to fulfill the demands of the growing population and simple human curiosity. The main purpose of this study was to examine the global behavior of a slender and inclined (V-shaped) 300 m high rise building with different structural systems applied. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Behavior of Swedish Concrete Buttress Dams at Sesmic Loading

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Författare :Erik Forsgren; Isak Berneheim; [2016]
    Nyckelord :seismic; Swedish earthquake; buttress dam; concrete; finite element analysis; seismik; jordbävning; lamelldamm; betong; finit element analys;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the thesis is to study the response of Swedish buttress dams if they are subjected to an earthquake of relevant magnitude to Sweden. Swedish dams are evaluated for an extensive amount of load cases, but not for earthquake loading. Therefore, it is not known how the Swedish buttress dams would respond during such loading. LÄS MER

  4. 13. A Study of the Twin Fin Concept for Cruise Ship Applications

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Marina system

    Författare :Frida Nyström; [2015]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The aim with this thesis is to investigate if the Twin Fin concept can be a beneficial propulsion system for large cruise ships, about 300 m long. The Twin Fin concept is a new propulsion system, launched in 2014 by Caterpillar Propulsion [1]. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Improved seismic-resistant design of adobe houses in vulnerable areas in Peru : Raising seismic awareness in an Andean community

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på grundnivå, Uppsala universitet/Byggteknik

    Författare :Elin Mattsson; [2015]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : During the last decades, many seismic reinforcement techniques of adobe houses have been developed. None of the techniques has however reached out to the people in need, mainly due to high costs. To prevent unacceptable seismic risks in rural areas, it is necessary to develop technology transfers along with training and educational programs. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Cost Evaluation of Seismic Load Resistant Structures Based on the Ductility Classes in Eurocode 8

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Författare :Georgios Valdemar Drivas; [2014]
    Nyckelord :Seismic Design; Eurocode 8; Norwegian Annex; Ductility class low; Ductility class medium; Economical Assessment; Precast Structures; Jordbävningsdimensionering; Eurokod 8; Norskt annex; Duktilitetsklass låg; Duktilitetsklass medium; Lönsamhetsbedömning; Prefabricerade konstruktioner;

    Sammanfattning : Most people do not associate Scandinavia with seismic activity and earthquakes; however, there is in fact seismic activity in the region. Although in comparison with southern Europe the return periods of earthquakes with large magnitudes are quite long, itis critical to consider earthquake impact when designing structures. LÄS MER
