Modal identification and finite element model updating of railway bridges considering boundary conditions using artificial neural networks
(Master thesis, 2021)Two-part study, with the evaluation of the variation in modal identification of two railway bridges located in Northern Norway based on free decay responses after the passage of different types of trains. In addition, ... -
Modelling of crack initiation in fibre-reinforced injection moulded parts
(MABY;2022, Master thesis, 2022)This study addresses the effects of injection moulding weld lines and fibre orientation distributions on the mechanical properties of short fibre-reinforced thermoplastics (SFT). In this thesis, a literature review, as ... -
A new framework for long-term vibration-based SHM
(MABY;2021, Master thesis, 2021)This thesis presents a methodology for vibration-based damage identification in a long-term structural health monitoring scheme. The frequency with which damage is detected is proposed as a new parameter. In order to ... -
Numerical analysis of the Vattedal bridge strengthened with UHPC overlays
(MABY;2022, Master thesis, 2022)This master thesis addresses how ultra-high performance concrete strengthening can affect the structural response of a single-span concrete bridge in Vattedal, Tysnes. Several FE-models with different UHPC configurations ... -
Optimizing SCMs Binder Mix Design for Recycling Sludge in Re-Con Zero Technology
(Master thesis, 2023)Concrete ready mix plant manufacturers face the dual challenges of managing returned concrete and the water required for cleaning the delivery track, as well as the disposal of waste generated during the washing process. ... -
Parametric study of façade elements subjected to blast loads
(MABY;2022, Master thesis, 2022)This study has investigated the effects of scaled distance, façade thickness, Young’s modulus and density on the reaction forces of a façade element subjected to blast load, and to what extent an empirical equation can ... -
Reducing global warming impact for Kjøkøysund based on alternative bridge designs
(MABY;2022, Master thesis, 2022)Concrete manufacturing account for almost one tenth of the global CO2- emissions. A big portion of the concrete greenhouse gas emission comes from the production of cement, still concrete is the most used construction ... -
Review and design of structural fiber reinforced concrete elements
(MABY;2022, Master thesis, 2022)This thesis reports main issues, and findings in designing FRC structural elements and presents a new approach for predicting the real residual flexural behavior of FRC elements validated using non-linear finite-element ... -
Salt-Flavored Green Binder (SAFGB): Focus on Flowability, Microstructure and Strength
(Master thesis, 2023)The construction industry is expanding rapidly as a result of global economic expansion, resulting in increasing demand for and production of building materials. Regrettably, this expansion contributes significantly to CO2 ... -
Seismic analysis of an RC building with newly constructed additional stories, Kristina kvartalet, Tønsberg.
(MABY;2022, Master thesis, 2022)This master thesis will be based on a real-world project where the author’s employer – Projekt Planung AS were responsible for the structural engineering. The building is the Kristinakvartalet / Kristina Quarter in Tønsberg, ... -
Structural analysis of reinforced concrete beams affected by alkali-silica reaction with focus on material models for concrete
(MABY;2020, Master thesis, 2020)Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is a chemical reaction that occurs in concrete between the alkalized cement and silica within the aggregates. ASR produces a gel around the aggregates which absorbs water, expands, results in ... -
Structural damage localization and quantification in plane truss structures using optimization techniques
(Master thesis, 2023)Civil infrastructures are susceptible to threats from both nature and human activity; as they are built and used, they deteriorate, potentially resulting in structural damage or even collapse. The detection of structural ... -
