Recent advancements in computational methods has led to improvements in the computational modeling of tensile failure of composite laminates. Models for compressive failure however, have not yet reached the same level of maturity. Particularly in the case of fiber kinking there is a need for improved modeling techniques. Fiber kinking occurs...

With more advanced methods and increasing computational power, the simulation of reinforced concrete in a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) has become more and more realistic. In a non-linear analysis of reinforced concrete, cracking behaviour and the maximum load-capacity can be determined. Such analyses sometimes suffer from unstable behaviour,...

An increasing number of activities are moved into Arctic regions. As oil and gas companies are exploring the options in these regions, structures are required which can withstand the severe environmental conditions. Existing structures are subjected to heavy mechanical loads due to moving ice sheets. For concrete structures in particular ice...

This master thesis presents research into buckling of thin hyperboloid shells structures. This type of structure is typically applied as the large cooling towers at coal fired electricity plants. However, modelling cooling towers is not the objective of this research. The objective of this research is to understand the buckling behaviour of...

Bascule bridges can be designed with two operating mechanisms in order to open and close the bridge. Due to certain effects a difference in force per mechanism can occur. Therefore the Dutch standard for movable bridge, the VOBB, states to use a force distribution of 1/3 - 2/3 between the mechanisms. This means that both the mechanisms are...

This master thesis involves the design of a roof for a basketball arena, which has a capacity of 20,000 spectators and it needs to be designed as a concrete shell structure. The size of the stadium is large enough to demand a long spanned shell structure. This thesis attempts to find an elegant solution to this problem, which combines aesthetic...

One of the tests in the ESECMaSE project is the large scale earthquake test on a building. The finite element model that is discussed in this thesis is based on this pseudo-dynamic test. The material model follows from a macro modelling approach and has smeared-cracks. The mode shape and eigenfrequencies are obtained through an eigenvalue...

This study investigates four numerical models to approximate the static and dynamic resistance of an unreinforced masonry wall loaded in one-way out-of-plane bending. From validation with experimental data it was found that for the combination of shell and interface elements with discrete cracking the static and dynamic behaviour of unreinforced...

The current calculation methods which determine the capacity of pinned connections provide different results. In this thesis a detailed look on those theories and the effect of different parameters is studied. Because it is hard to provide any conclusions about just comparing these theories also a FEM analysis is done. In this thesis the FEM...

This Master of Science thesis depicts the research done on geodesic dome structures and tensile bolted bamboo connections. The report includes a parametric structural analysis of bamboo geodesic domes assessing the influence of openings, local and global stability, geometrical non-linearity, and the maximum possible dome diameters for domes...

In structural design there is a tendency towards more slender and challenging architectural structures. Footbridges become more slender with an increasing high ratio live load to dead weight. A consequence of this increased slenderness of footbridges in an increased susceptibility to human-induced vibrations. The evaluation of the serviceability...

The Finite Element Method is used in many computer programs to analyse the mechanical behaviour of shell structures. Although this method provides good quantitative insight into the mechanical behaviour of shell structures, it provides little qualitative insight. This master graduation thesis is aimed at expanding Finite Element Analysis (FEA)...

This master thesis is about finite element analyses of a 3D model of a 1/4th scaled trapezoidal 3-story reinforced concrete mock-up on a shaking table which is part of Smart 2013 international benchmark. The idea of this benchmark is to asses and predict the dynamic behavior of the reinforced concrete mock-up with respect to seismic loading...

This report deals with the buckling behavior of spirally welded steel tubes. First, an existing analytical solution and the results of an extended experimental investigation are investigated. The imperfections measured during testing are investigated and classified, and methods are proposed to incorporate them into finite element models....

Moen, J.C. (author)
The material properties of fibre reinforced polymer composites fundamentally differ from construction steel, and therefore a different approach is required in the design of structures composed of this material. Simple substitution of steel elements by composite counterparts will inevitably result in inefficient structures. When the material’s...
