1. 21. Dynamic Performance of a Tall Building to Earthquake Loading : Finding the optimum mass and stiffness

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Andrés Alonso San Segundo; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : With the increasing cost of land, the development of ultra-high performance concrete, and the technological advancements in equipment and machinery, we are able to construct and refurbish skyscrapers like never before. How they are built, what materials they use, or what structural system defines them, all affect their dynamic response, which in the end is the combination of the stiffness and mass, two key parameters in engineering of tall buildings.

3. 22. Uppfattningen av barns platsskapande i kommunal planering : en fallstudie av hur två svenska kommuner planerar för och med barn i en urban miljö

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

   Author : Louise Uddenäs; [2022]
   Keywords : Barns platsskapande; barns platser; barnvänliga miljöer; hållbar stadsutveckling;

   Abstract : Platsskapande syftar på processen där individen bygger en relation till den fysiska miljön av en plats. Barns sätt att se och skapa platser på är flexibelt och mjukt i sitt uttryck, till skillnad från vuxenvärldens strikta konstruktioner av plats, och platsskapande är en väsentlig aspekt för barn att upptäcka och förstå sin omvärld.

4. 23. Correlation between measured and perceived impact sound in schools

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Träteknik

   Author : Anton Burwall; [2022]
   Keywords : Acoustics; Impact sound; Impact sound insulation; Walking sound; Walking sound annoyance; Wood; Cross-laminated timber; CLT; Schools; Perception;

   Abstract : This project investigated the correlation between measured impact sound insulation and perceived walking sound annoyance in schools. The correlation was tested by performing standardized impact sound insulation measurements for different floor structures and comparing the measurement results with subjective perception of recorded walking for the same floor structures.

5. 24. Simulation of load capacity of 3D printed concrete patterns

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Magnus Burton; Karolina Näsén; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Three-dimensional concrete printing (3DCP) is a technology which has rapidly developed in recent years. The technology is based on a layer-by-layer technique where models are designed in a 3D software program and printed by a robot. Unlike conventional concrete, 3DCP has stricter material requirements due to the absence of formwork. READ MORE

6. 25. Structural strengthening and sustainability improvements of existing buildings – A case study

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

   Author : Pardis Niknafs; [2022]
   Keywords : Building retrofit; structural strengthening; energy efficiency; environmental impact; integrated and sustainable intervention; cross-laminated timber; life cycle assessment;

   Abstract : In Sweden, a large share of residential buildings was built more than 50 years ago. Consequently, old materials, poor maintenance, and corrosion can affect the structural performance of these buildings. Additionally, these buildings do not meet the latest energy efficiency and Eurocode regulations. READ MORE
