  1. 1. INDUCTIVE RAILWAY SWITCH POINT HEATING : Improved control algorithm and phase compensation analysis for an inductive turnout heating system, and comparison with a resistive heating system

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

    Author : Erik Nordlund; [2023]
    Keywords : Inductive switch point heating; Turnout heating; railway turnout heating; Inductive heating;

    Abstract : Railway turnout heating is essential during the winter because snow and ice can hinder the movement of the switch. In Sweden, heating has traditionally been done using resistive heating wires mounted to the stock rail, but the technology is outdated and generally exhibits low efficiency and performance.

  5. 4. A Comparison of Building Energy Performance Simulation Tools in BIM and non-BIM environments

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

    Author : Damilare Akinboboye; [2022]
    Keywords : Building Information Modelling BIM ; Building Energy Modelling BEM ; Building Energy Simulation BES ; Interoperability; BPS tools.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The detailed use of Building Performance Simulation (BPS) tools to estimate the energy use and encourage energy savings solutions is vital in mitigating the energy use for buildings and the production of this energy. Furthermore, the design of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly buildings involves a collaborative effort among professionals in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry.

  6. 5. Assessment of ice loads on piled structures based on local conditions

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Astrid Lindblom; Elin Ånger; [2022]
    Keywords : Ice loads; Local conditions; Structural design; Piled structures; Islaster; Lokala förhållanden; Dimensionering; Pålade konstruktioner;

    Abstract : This master report studies structural design methods for ice loads and the impact of local conditions. Ice loads occur due to ice movements or expansion of the ice sheet. Specifically, this study analyses ice loads on piled structures and ten different design methods and handbooks to calculate the ice load. READ MORE
