1. Feasibility study of a high-rise CLT building in a seismic area with high wind loads : A finite element approach
University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnadAbstract : Timber has been used as a construction material for thousands of years. However,the inventions of stronger materials and increased construction of taller buildings hasled to decreased use of wood products. READ MORE

2. Life cycle assessment of timber high-rise building structures : Case study of a project examined in the context of French environmental regulation (RE2020)
University essay from KTH/ByggnadsmaterialAbstract : The damages that the building sector does to the environment can no longer be ignored and need to be approached with a life cycle assessment (LCA). Advantages to build in wood and to build dense cities lead to a potential “two birds in one stone” effect regarding high-rise massive timber construction. READ MORE

3. Catenary action to prevent progressive collapse in multistorey timber buildings : An experimental study of tube joints
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Träteknik; Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik, maskin- och materialteknikAbstract : In the modern building industry wood as a building material has been looked on as one of the solutions to lower the environmentally impact of the building industry. Building types that normally have been reserved for concrete and steel are today being built with wood as main load bearing component. READ MORE

4. Life cycle analysis and comparison of climate impact for two alternative floor systems for increased weight in high-rise timber buildings
University essay from KTH/ByggnadsmaterialAbstract : The aim of this Master Thesis is to investigate and quantify the climate impact for two floor system alternatives for the Cederhusen project, that is the 8 floors timber-based buildings located at Sankt Eriksplan in Stockholm. The overall motivation for this study is the fact that the construction industry is a major contributor to the total amount of the global greenhouse gas emissions. READ MORE

5. Smart design and production planning for drying of concrete slabs in high-rise buildings
University essay from KTH/Hållbara byggnaderAbstract : The Swedish concrete industry is struggling to improve the design of the concrete mixturesand produce new types of binders to reduce the negative effects on the environment due tothe relatively high carbon dioxide emissions during the manufacturing process. Theseaccelerated efforts create new challenges for the construction companies due to the lack ofknowledge about the moisture performance of these new concrete mixtures and the impactson the drying process of the concrete slabs, where the concrete drying process is oftencritical to the project schedule.
