  1. 1. Attenuation of bending waves in cross-laminated timber panels by using constrained damping layer

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Träteknik

    Author : Konrad Boeske; [2021]
    Keywords : Wood technology; damping; CLT; acoustic; low frequencies; AkuTimber;

    Abstract : Multi-storey wooden buildings become more and more popular. As the new housing solutions are more accessible, acoustical inconveniences of wooden buildings become actual as never before. Wood, thanks to its high stiffness and low mass, allows to erect buildings at impressive pace, albeit cannot damp low frequency noises efficiently. READ MORE

  3. 2. Assessing the potential for vertical urban agriculture for multi-storey buildings : a case study of the proposed Culture Casbah development in Rosengård, Malmö

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Francisco Javier Valerio Trujillo; [2020]
    Keywords : urban agriculture; well-being; sustainable development; urban ecological infrastructure; food security; densification; urban ecology infrastructure; community gardens;

    Abstract : This thesis proposes the use of urban agriculture as a tool to address three global challenges related to population growth in cities; densification, climate change and health risk by studying the history and benefits of urban agriculture, it is possible to understand the benefits in better integrating urban agriculture into new urban infrastructure, particularly in high-density housing areas. These benefits include; better living conditions, reduced food transportation, stormwater management and strong links between communities. READ MORE

  4. 3. A simulation-based approach for systematic analysis of workflow during the construction of in-situ concrete frames

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för bygg- och miljöteknologi

    Author : Robert Larsson; Martin Rudberg; [2020]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The construction workflow of in-situ concrete frames in multi-storey residential buildings is highly complex and dynamic. Discrete-event simulation (DES) offers capabilities to model and analyse such complexity. READ MORE

  5. 4. Acoustic performance of timber volume elements

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk akustik

    Author : Oliver Olsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Impact sound insulation; Air-borne sound insulation; Cross laminated timber; CLT; Timber Volume Element; Vibration Insulation.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The thesis investigates the acoustic performance of light weight timber constructions known as timber volume elements and vibration insulation methods employed in these. Common materials used in light weight timber floor constructions and different floor configurations consisting of these materials were also studied. READ MORE

  6. 5. A study of potential climate impacts from maintenance and replacements in timber buildings : From a lifecycle perspective

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Malin Johansson; [2016]
    Keywords : Lifecycle assessment; LCA; timber structures; maintenance; replacement; costs; GWP; climate change; Livscykelanalys; LCA; träkonstruktioner; underhåll; utbyten; kostnader; GWP; klimatpåverkan;

    Abstract : The building sector contributes to a large part of the total emissions of greenhouse gases, which demands for increased sustainability in all phases of a buildings’ lifecycle. Choices of building materials and the respective required maintenance and replacements are becoming more important if further reductions of climate impacts should be obtained. READ MORE
