Detailed Thermal-Structural Analysis of Fire on a Steel Bridge

A case study comparison of performance-based design against prescriptive methods

The aim of this project is to benchmark the outcomes of a detailed performance based analysis using CFD and LS-DYNA software against codified methods used more generally on projects, and in particular to demonstrate whether this leads to an increase in the predicted capacity of t ...
Due to the transition towards a circular economy, sustainable design strategies are growing in importance. An example of such a strategy is IFD: Industrial, Flexible and Demountable design. This design strategy has been developed recently and focuses on modular designs that can b ...

Plate buckling

Stiffened plates subjected to in-plane and out-of-plane loading

In the report the plate buckling verification for stiffened plates subjected to combinations of biaxial in-plane normal stress, in-plane shear stress and out-of-plane loads is performed based on Eurocodes and relevant literature. A normative panel is selected from the structure ...
An investigation into the application of additive manufacturing to the production of structural joints was conducted for this thesis. The main goal was to determine all necessary aspects that someone needs to consider when designing a structural part that is intended to be printe ...
Plated girders have been extensively used in steel bridge construction since the 19th century. Over the past century, the effective width method was developed to take the nonlinearities resulting from shear lag and plate buckling into account. This method leads to having a cross- ...
