1. 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/ByggnadsmaterialAbstract : 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

2. Timber Concrete Composite floors with Cross Laminated Timber - Structural behavior & Design
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaperAbstract : På grund av den ökade miljö- och klimatmedvetenheten har övergången till förnybara material påskyndats, och detsamma gäller intresset för träbyggande. Med att bygga högt i trä kommer dock ett flertal konstruktionsmässiga utmaningar, där en av utmaningarna är dynamik på grund av träets låga egenvikt jämfört med andra mer konventionella byggnadsmaterial.

5. Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with Side Near Surface Mounted FRP : A parametric study based on finite element analysis
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : Most of the today’s concrete structures are older than tenyears, and the need to strengthening existing structures is growing steadily. This is due to various reasons such as degradation due to ageing, environmentally induced degradation, poor initial design or construction and lack of maintenance, to name a few. READ MORE
