  1. 21. Glued connection for TCC slabs : Experimental and Numerical investigation

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Ervin Halilovic; Seid Lotinac; [2022]
    Keywords : TCC connection; Composite element; Adhesive connection; Silicone Adhesive; Polyurethane Adhesive; Slip modulus; Shear stress; Cohesive elements; Traction seperation law; Mullins effect; Hysteresis;

    Abstract : Timber-concrete composite (TCC) structures are becoming more popular in several industrial applications as an efficient method for optimizing the structural performance and the cost of construction as well as lowering the emissions of carbon dioxide. TCC floors are more sustainable than pure concrete floors and more resistant to vibrations and excessive deflections than pure wooden floors. READ MORE

  3. 22. Dynamic Analysis of Double Tee Floors Subjected to Human Activity : A comparison between a standard- and a modified cross section

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Bjondina Hoti; Fadi Simonides; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Building with larger spans and more slender elements is more common today since the demand for open floor plans has increased. The consequence is that low frequency floors and vibration problems arise. Such floors tend to undergo large vibrations since their low eigenfrequency coincides with the frequency which human activities have. READ MORE

  4. 23. Rammed Concrete

    University essay from KTH/Arkitektur

    Author : Marvin Palmgren; [2022]
    Keywords : Rammed Concrete; Rammed Earth; Building Technique; Building Method; Material Study;

    Abstract : Rammed Concrete is a material study of an old building technique called rammed concrete and its predecessor rammed earth. Rammed earth is a technique used for constructing foundations, floors, and walls with the use of natural materials. READ MORE

  5. 24. 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

  6. 25. Investigation of methods to analyse global stability of a reinforced concrete stabilising core

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Evelina Husak; Ellinor Persson; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Ensuring the structural stability of a building is an evident requirement for the building to be safe to use. This becomes a qualified task for a structural engineer. Ensuring stability has become especially important nowadays while stabilising elements often are kept to a minimum and tall buildings are common. READ MORE
