Bridge Life Cycle Cost Optimization: Analysis, Evaluation & Implementation (Civil Project)
In infrastructure construction projects especially bridge investments, the most critical decisions that significantly affect the whole bridge LCC are the early stages decisions. Clearly, it’s more beneficial to correctly choose the optimum Continue reading
Faunapassager: How animals cross roads (Civil Project)
A fauna passage is a way for animals to cross roads separated from the traffic. In Sweden, there are an unknown number of passages with different functions and appearances. These passages would, with the question “Which fauna passages can be Continue reading
Building Envelope Upgrading on a 70´s Building in Stockholm Suburbs (Civil Project)
This is a study about how to improve the building envelope from a group of housing belonging to The Million Programme, a housing programme implanted in the Sweden around 70’s. Massive buildings made of concrete, which were constructed really Continue reading
Life Cycle Assessment of Railway Bridges: Developing a LCA tool for evaluating Railway Bridges (Civil Project)
This project means to be a good guide for engineers, when performing a Life Cycle Assessment of a railway bridge, and to become a useful tool to compare several alternatives to identify the best option relating the environmental Continue reading
Design of a single-track railway network arch bridge: According to the Eurocodes (Civil Project)
A constant research of more ecological and efficient structures has enabled bridges to be more innovative through the years. Nowadays, as the need is greater than ever, a new kind of bridge is expanding in the entire world: the network arch bridges. The concept was Continue reading
Effect of Dead, Live and Blast Loads on a Suspension Bridge (Civil Project)
Bridges in America are of special importance. The analysis of these bridges should be carried out for different loading conditions. Bridges are normally designed for dead load, live load and other occasional loads. American Association of State Highways and Continue reading
The Design of an Overpass Crossing on Railway in Mirny, Arkhangelska Oblast, Russia (Civil Project)
Bridge design and construction practice in former USSR, especially Russia, is not much known to the foreign engineers. Many advanced structural theories and construction practices have been established. In 1931, Franklin D. Roosevelt said, “There can be little Continue reading
Capacity assessment of a single span arch bridge with backfill (Civil Project)
The aim of this project is to assess the load carrying capacity of the Glomman Bridge outside of the Swedish city Örebro. The Glomman Bridge is an unreinforced concrete single span arch bridge with backfill. The bridge was Continue reading
Risk-Based Bridge Maintenance Strategies (Civil Project)
The aging of bridges and traffic volume increase result in deterioration of bridge conditions and consequently increased risks to bridges and users. Highway agencies in the United States face challenges because of lack of Continue reading
Embedded Strain Sensor with Power Scavenging from Bridge Vibration (Civil Project)
The objective of this study is to investigate an embedded strain sensor system with power scavenged from highway bridge vibration for structure health monitoring. A power scavenging scheme is developed to Continue reading
Bridge Pier Scour in Tidal Environments (Civil Project)
Scour depths in estuaries are often estimated using imprecise models that were developed for riverine systems and do not consider the various processes responsible for the Continue reading
Characterization of the Behavior of Ultra-High Performance Concrete (Civil Project)
In the past decade significant advances have been made in the field of high performance concretes. The next generation of concrete, Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC), exhibits exceptional Continue reading
Characterization of Delayed Ettringite Formation in Maryland Bridges (Civil Project)
The research investigated the significance of Delayed Ettringite Formation (DEF) presences in the Maryland Bridge Inventory. The objective of the research included investigating possible presence of Continue reading
Behavior and Analysis of an Instrumented Slab Bridge (Civil Project)
Because of quick construction and cost effectiveness, adjacent precast, prestressed box girder bridges have been used nowadays more often for Continue reading
Analysis and Behavior Investigations of Box Girder Bridges (Civil Project)
Due to efficient dissemination of congested traffic, economic considerations, and aesthetic desirability horizontally curved steel box girder bridges have become Continue reading
