1. 1. Integrating Fire Evacuation into the Building Information Modelling Workflow

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Nazim Yakhou; [2022]
   Keywords : Fire Safety Engineering; Building Information Modelling; Fire Evacuation; Performance Based Design; Golden Thread of Information; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Building Information Modelling (BIM) is arising gradually as a useful methodology in the AEC field. One of the many benefits of BIM is coordination between stakeholders from multiple disciplines. However, the field of Fire Safety Engineering (FSE) is relatively lagging by its lack of integration into this digital workflow. READ MORE

3. 2. 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

4. 3. A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TRAVELLING FIRE IN LARGE SPACES WITH MULTI-ZONE FIRE MODEL AND FDS

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Paolo Bertoli; [2021]
   Keywords : Multi-Zone fire model; FDS; Large enclosures; Travelling fire.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : A knowledge of far field temperatures is valuable for Performance Based Design structural analysis and life safety analysis, where a parametric study is needed. A fire model using multiple zones called a multi zone (MZ) fire model has in previous studies shown good potential as an analytical tool for predicting far field temperatures in large compartments.

5. 4. Complex Stress States In Structural Birch Plywood : An experimental study on the behaviour of birch plywood in structural applications

   University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

   Author : Patrik Hedlund; Pontus Persson; [2021]
   Keywords : large-span-structures; trusses; truss nodes; timber connections; engineered wood products; birch plywood; glued connections; dowelled connections; gusset plates;

   Abstract : For structural engineers, the two most important design criteria are utility andsafety. It is about making sure that a structural component is reliable enough not toendanger any of a building's users, while at the same time being as sustainable andefficiently designed as possible.

6. 5. Performance of joints for glued laminated timber exposed to the ISO fire temperature curve

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Jesus Gil; [2021]
   Keywords : Glued laminated Timber; Structural fire engineering; Fire performance; standard ISO fire curve; Joints; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : As society becomes more ecologically conscious there is a push toward the use of materials with a smaller environmental burden, one of these materials is glulam (GLT), which has gained a lot of traction in recent years not only for ecological reasons but for its ease in manufacture, transport, noise dampening, etc. The focus of this project was to evaluate the influence of different joint configurations on the fire performance of glulam members.
