1. 1. Reduction of Explosion Effects by Use of a Sandwich Wall

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

   Author : Annie Bohman; [2023]
   Keywords : Explosion Blast load Sandwich wall Energy absorption; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : It was recently decided that a new hospital is to be built in Växjö. It is important that hospitals can be utilised no matter the circumstances, even in situations of threat. New reports have been published concerning how hospitals are to be designed. In this, it is mentioned that explosions are a threat that should be considered. READ MORE

3. 2. Punching shear in concrete flat slabs supported on slender edge steel columns

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Pasha Jalal; Jose Andres Perez; [2020]
   Keywords : Punching shear; ATENA; FEA; precast slab; flat slab; top and foot plate.; Genomstansning; ATENA; FEA; plattbärlag; pelardäck; topp- och fotplåt.;

   Abstract : Punching shear is a failure mechanism caused by concentrated loads, creating a crack pattern that resembles a cone shape or piece of pie starting from the top surface of the slab and prolongs downwards. When the total shear force is greater than the shear resistance of the slab, it may eventually lead to punching shear failure. READ MORE

4. 3. Temperature distribution in air tight cavities of steel framed modular buildings when exposed to fire

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

   Author : Elin Bergroth; Greta Torstensson; [2019]
   Keywords : Cavities; fire furnace; fire test; modular building; steel; TASEF; Brandugn; brandtest; hålrum; modulbyggnader; stål; TASEF;

   Abstract : A common way to construct large buildings is by assemble prefabricated modules around a load bearing steel construction. However, if a fire occurs these buildings can be subject to a rapid fire spread due to its cellular nature. READ MORE

5. 4. Settlement calculation for lime/cement column improved clay : Analytical and numerical analyses related to a case study

   University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Hulumtaye Kefyalew Yederulh; [2018]
   Keywords : LCC; deep mixing; consolidation settlement; rate of consolidation; numerical analysis; analytical analysis; field measurement.; KC-pelare; djupstabilisering; konsolideringssättningar; konsolideringsgrad; numerisk analys; analytisk analys; fältmätningar;

   Abstract : The dry deep mixing method is widely used to improve a soft clay soil to increase the shear strength as well as to reduce the time for consolidation. It is a mechanical mixing process that makes parts of the soil stiffer than its original strength. It is mainly applicable to soft clay or peat soil. READ MORE

6. 5. Study of glue-laminated timber connections with high fire resistance using expanded steel tubes

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

   Author : David Ronstad; Niklas Ek; [2018]
   Keywords : Expanded steel tubes; Glue-laminated timber; Fire resistance; Glue-laminated timber connection; Expanderade ståltuber; Limträ; Brandmotstånd; Limträförband;

   Abstract : A key factor regarding fire safety of timber buildings is the performance of connections between the structural elements, since this determines the load-carrying capacity of the structure. Traditional timber connections do generally perform poorly in a fire compared to surrounding parts since the joints often consist of exposed metal parts and cavities which locally decreases the fire resistance.
