  1. 1. End-of-life wind blade recycling through thermal process

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

    Author : Kerstin Benz; [2023]
    Keywords : Wind Turbine Blades; Recycling; Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic; Molten Salt Pyrolysis;

    Abstract : Renewable energy production with wind turbines has been rising in the last 30 years and it is a crucial technology, which is necessary for the energy transition. As sustainable as the energy production of wind turbines is, the waste management of the blade material is not. Most of the blades end up on a landfill or get incinerated. READ MORE

  3. 2. Study of permanent formwork made of high-performance concrete as protection of concrete with recycled aggregate

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Eliška Kafková; [2022]
    Keywords : Fiber-reinforced concrete; textile-reinforced concrete; high-performance concrete; concrete with recycled aggregate; fiber reinforcement; textile reinforcement; carbon footprint;

    Abstract : The production of concrete remains one of the highest CO2 producers. It consumes alarge number of primary sources of raw materials. One way to reduce emissions and rawmaterials consumption is by applying more recycled aggregates. READ MORE

  4. 3. Shear Failure of Steel Fiber and Bar Reinforced Concrete Beams Without Stirrups : Predictions based on Nonlinear Finite Element Analyses

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : David Andersson; [2022]
    Keywords : Nonlinear finite element analysis; Shear failure; Fiber reinforced concrete beams; ATENA;

    Abstract : Shear failure in concrete beams are often brittle in nature and potentially dangerous without adequatereinforcing measures. In design of concrete, it is commonly recommended to install transversalreinforcement along the shear span to induce a more ductile structural response, improving the shearcapacity all together and providing sufficient warning prior to collapse.

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. 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
