The report presents testresults from a research project conceming fatigue of reinforced normal and high strength concrete beams (0.3 x 0.4 x 6.0 m). The beams were designed to have the san1e flexural and shear capacity at a point 1.5 m from the support. Two beams of each sort were tested statically to failure, and four beams of each sort were tested with a fatigue load. The fatigue load varied bet

Arbetet har omfattat ett studium av hur Cad-komponenter på NICK-format lätt skall kunna hanteras och sändas till ett Cad-system (Autocad). Första delen av rapporten är en beskrivning av NICK-formatet. Sedan följer beskrivning av Cad-komponentfilema och rekommendationer för dessa. ·Kapitel 5 handlar om tillgängliga elektroniska varuinformationssystem och innehåller en kort beskrivning av dessa. I s

The project has airned to formulate and develop a graphical experience base, the GraphCase system. The system helps the user in capturing, storing and retrieving information about building structures. Results from student work in a yearly design course were used in the Master Thesis work. Drawings were seanned and project data were input to the hypertext based system. The search routines were desi

Abstract: The report shows a possible way to determine a REI 90 wall. This is done by studies of fire safety theories, the u se of four different calculation methods, small scale tests of different wall types and finallya full scale ISO 834 test of a 3x3 metre large wall. suggestions of so me fairly possible REI 90 walls are al so included.

As multi-storey buildings with wooden framework are being build, constructors are faced with problems like, for instance, deformation of the wood, that is barely noticeable in a smaller house, but significant in larger buildings. Largest deformations of the wood occur w hen wood with a high original moisture content is loaded perpendicular to the grain and simultaneous allo w ed to dry, for instan

This work is a Master' s Thesis in Civil Engineering. It has been performed in ca-operation between BODAB and the Depmtment of Civil Engineering at Lund Institute of Technology. The aim of my work has been to develop a computer based system for reaJ-estate information management that mainly utilises the drawings and documents produced during the design. The system developed uses drawings produ

The Slab-on-grade, which include Industrial floors, can be defined, according to ACI Committee 360,1 as a slab continuously supported by ground with an area of more than twice the area required to support the imposed loads. The slab may be plain or reinforced and may include stiffening elements such as ribs and hidden beams. The reinforcement may be provided for structural purpose or for the contr

This essay is a part of an extensive research project concerning multi-storey timber framed constructions in Sweden, initiated by Södra T im ber and the Department of Structural Engineering at Lund Institute ofTeclmology. The major part ofthe report is dealing with deformations in timber frames due to load and varying moisture content from an experimental point of view. It also includes a field-st

Målet med examensarbetet var att prova en samarbetsform mellan civilingenjörsutbildningen och arkitektutbildningen som innebär att engagera examensarbetare från V -sektionen i de arkitektstuderandes arbete i ritsalarna. Kontinuerligt under hösten har jag närvarat i ritsalarna och då arbetat med att försöka ge dem en bättre förståelse för byggnadens uppbyggnad och konstruktion. En förhoppning är at

The fatigue behavior of laminated veneer lumber (Douglas-fir) subjected to shearstress has been studied. The static shear strength of specimens, 37 by 102 by 406 mm was established through a three point bending test over a span of 305 mm. Four series of specimens were subjected to a cyclic load history with peak loads ranging from 95 to 80 percent of the static strength. The duration of each load

Acoustic emission is the response to the application of stress. Two sensors were attached to the setup to measure acoustic emission as a voltage. The beams were loaded until rupture in four point bending. Lab VIEW® continuously took readings of load, deflection, acoustic emission, date and time and saved all data on a hard drive.

The report includes a study where stress-laminated and nail-laminated wood decks are compared, with respect to deflection, static and dynamic springiness. The deck is built up of 22 pieces 45 mm wide, 170 mm high and 7000 mm long wood joists. (Swedish).

The report includes description oftwo programs that have been developed for drawing reinforcement in AutoCAD and making reinforcements reports according to Swedish Standard. (Swedish).

Development of concrete formulation reinforced by non-corrosive fibres, to realise thin sections. The mechanical properties were tested in the goal to evaluate an idea of application, which is a prefabricated sandwich-element integrating thermic isolation for external walls.

A study of shear capacity in vertically reinforced masonry beams beeing exposed to a concentrated force. The aim of the design was to get shear failure and thus get information regarding the method of reinforcing. The vertically reinforced beams were compared to a reference beam made of common bricks. The method can be used to bridge larger openings in structural masonry walls.
