Ionizing Radiation in Concrete and Concrete Buildings – Empirical Assessment

The project had a reference group with people from the different members of the Swedish Consortium as well as tutors representing the Royal Institute of Stockholm (KTH), department of Civil and The author is very grateful to my supervisors and especially Professor Johan Silfwerbrand, who always tried to make time for discussion, evaluation and fruitful guiding in the process to finalize the the...

Earthquake Resistant Design of Reinforced Concrete Buildings

This paper briefly reviews the development of earthquake resistant design of buildings. The state-of-the-art of seismic design is discussed from the viewpoint of the performance criteria of buildings. These are (a) serviceability from frequent minor-intensity earthquake motions, (b) repairability from an infrequent but major-intensity earthquake motion, and (c) life safety from the maximum poss...

Lightning-Generated Fields in Reinforced concrete Buildings

This contribution presents a study, model and validation of the amplitudes of the residual fields inside a one-story building for different locations of lightning impacts. The special case where a second gridded structure exist inside the main building, forming a box-in-the-box configuration, is analyzed. We show also that formulas for magnetic field attenuation found in the relevant IEC docume...
