Fire Resistance in Cross-laminated Timber (Civil Project)
This report deals with the fire resistance of cross-laminated timber (CLT). The main purpose is to verify a new model on CLT and its ability to sustain its bearing capacity when Continue reading
Basis and a Concept for a Paper Machine in a Laboratory Scale (Mechanical Project)
This project studies paper and what it is made of and different ways to manufacture it in a laboratory scale. It also contains a comparison of different ways to dry tissue and which method that suits Continue reading
Static Pile-soil-pile Interaction in Offshore Pile Groups (Civil Project)
This thesis is a theoretical study, using both finite element and boundary element methods, of the behaviour of single-piles and pile groups under vertical and lateral loading. It offers an improved understanding of the Continue reading
Beneficial Reuse of Baltimore Dredged Sediments as Vertical Cutoff Wall Backfill Material (Civil Project)
Dredged sediments are obtained from the process of dredging coastal areas and harbors in order to maintain navigable waterways. This study focuses on the potential of using Continue reading
A Model Study of the End Bearing Capacity of Piles in Layered Calcareous Soils (Civil Project)
The results of a series of over 120 model tests to study the end bearing capacity of piles in layered calcareous soils are Continue reading
Shear Capacity of Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete Beams without Conventional Shear Reinforcement (Civil Project)
While the increase in shear strength of Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) is well recognized, it has yet to be found common application of this material in Continue reading
Development of Materials Supply System Requirements (Mechanical Project)
In industry today, the need for excellent product development and realization in many different aspects is increasing. This calls for excellent quality, while at the Continue reading
Dynamic Analysis of the Baozhusi Dam Using FEM (Civil Project)
High magnitude earthquakes have devastating effects that leads to severe human and material losses; when affecting concrete gravity dams, seisms devastate the surrounding habitat through sudden release of Continue reading
Potential Use of Natural Red Mud as Pozzolan for Portland Cement (Civil Project)
Red mud, the main waste generated in aluminum and alumina production by the Bayer process, is considered hazardous due to its high pH, according to the Continue reading
Design of an Earthquake Proof One Family House: A house in alternative Construction Material, made for slum areas in Medellin, Colombia (Civil/Mechanical Project)
One of mankind’s most important needs is the need for shelter. All around the world people live in lack of this basic need. Colombia is a South American country heavily burdened by Continue reading
