PREFACE
The project supporting this licentiate thesis was started in 2014 at the Department of civil, 
environmental and natural resources engineering at the division of structural and fire
engineering of Luleå University of Technology in Sweden. The project was financially 
supported by Formas.
I would like to use the opportunity to thank all the people and organizations that directly or 
indirectly supported me and the project to this point. Particularly, I would like to express my 
gratitude towards my supervisors, Professor Mats Emborg, Professor Andrzej Cwirzen, and 
Dr. Martin Nilsson for their knowledgeable inputs, support and understanding. 
I would also like to express my gratitude to my colleagues in the university and also the 
technicians in the laboratory for the help and support. 
Moreover, I should thank my parents for their unconditional love which has always been a 
source of inspiration for me.
