  1. 1. 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/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Nir Kedem; [2022]
    Keywords : Life cycle assessment; LCA; Anavitor; Environmental impact; Building materials; Timber; Concrete; Gravel; Adding weight system.;

    Abstract : 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

  3. 2. Extrapolate

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industridesign

    Author : Seppe van Heusden; [2022]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering; Arts and Architecture;

    Abstract : Object and context are inseparable. Meaning, interpretation and function are derived from the relation between them. Extrapolate emphasizes the connection between the object and its physical context. READ MORE

  4. 3. A Comparison between the Wickström Compartment Fire Model with Experiments and other Calculation Methods

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

    Author : Anna Pettersson; Carolina Puga Staffan; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : An Excel spreadsheet application has been developed for calculating pre-flashover compartment fire temperature according to the method described in the book ”Temperature Calculation in Fire Safety Engineering” written by Wickström 2016. Here called the Wickström Compartment Fire Model, WCFM, which is a model where the surrounding structure can be assumed either as lumped heat or as semi-infinite.

  5. 4. Timber Concrete Composite floors with Cross Laminated Timber - Structural behavior & Design

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

    Author : Albin Forsberg; Filip Farbäck; [2020]
    Keywords : timber concrete composite; TCC; floors; cross-laminated timber; CLT; structural behavior; design methods; Gamma method; Equivalent gamma method; Extended gamma method; RFEM; first natural frequency; serviceability limit state; ultimate limit state; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : På grund av den ökade miljö- och klimatmedvetenheten har övergången till förnybara material påskyndats, och detsamma gäller intresset för träbyggande. Med att bygga högt i trä kommer dock ett flertal konstruktionsmässiga utmaningar, där en av utmaningarna är dynamik på grund av träets låga egenvikt jämfört med andra mer konventionella byggnadsmaterial.
