  1. 16. 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

  3. 17. Life cycle assessment and structural analysis of renovation of Ulriksberg school building in Växjö

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Amir Ahaki Lakeh; Milad Tahmasbi; [2022]
    Keywords : Life cycle assessment; renovation measures; environmental impacts; structural analysis;

    Abstract : Massive volumes of hazardous emissions have been produced by the construction sector for which some adequate steps are implemented, but the rising trend of emissions can still be seen. In this thesis, the goal is to identify and analyze renovation measures from primary energy use and environmental impacts perspective, according to Boverket’s mandatory provisions and general recommendations (BBR 2018), for an old school building.

  4. 18. Statistical analysis of firefighting and damage caused by fire in mid-rise timber-framed residential buildings compared to other construction types

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Thomas Berg; [2021]
    Keywords : Statistical analysis; timber-framed; residential; firefighting; damage caused by fire; PRONTO; NFID; linear regression; summary statistics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The contribution of greenhouse gas emissions in the production of construction materials has sparked a new interest and recent changes in building regulations regarding the use of renewables like wood as the main component in load-bearing elements. Recent regulation changes focus on allowing taller timber structures which bides the question of how to adequately maintain an acceptable level of fire protection considering the characteristically flammable properties of wood-based products.

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Jennifer Li; Ida Östlund; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In 2018 KTH alumni Frida Bylund and Linnea Kåwe investigated, on behalf of C3 Scandinavian lifestyle, a new way of boiling water on an induction cooktop. The idea was to develop an induction kettle that shuts itself off when the water reaches 100°C. READ MORE

  6. 20. 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.
