11. 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 BrandteknikAbstract : 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.

12. Performance of joints for glued laminated timber exposed to the ISO fire temperature curve
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för BrandteknikAbstract : 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.

13. Modeling of moisture-induced deformations and stresses in cross-laminated timber and timber-concrete composite floors
University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaperAbstract : Korslimmat trä är ett tämligen nytt material, bestående av korslagda lager av brädor. Produkten tillåter nya byggmetoder och kan ses som ett grönare alternativ till stål och betong. Dess uppbyggnad gör det mer robust och mindre beroende av träets varierande egenskaper för olika geometriska dimensioner. READ MORE

14. Shear stiffness of cross laminated timber diaphragms - A study of the influence of connection and member stiffness
University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaperAbstract : Since ancient times, buildings have been constructed with the use of timber and during the modern era, new types of timber products have been developed. Today, more constructions, especially residential buildings are being built with timber as the main load-bearing material. READ MORE

15. Balancing between environmental impact and vibroacoustic performance for lightweight buildings
University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaperAbstract : Multi-storey buildings constructed in timber have become more common in recent years. A reason for this lies in the growing interest for sustainable building, where timber is seen as a particularly interesting alternative. READ MORE
