1. 21. Energy efficiency measures in a typical Swedish single-family building from the 1960s

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Byggteknik och byggd miljö

   Author : Emanuel Larsson; Raffaello Ljungqvist Baldesi; [2022]
   Keywords : energy system; building; energy efficiency measures; storage; solar panels; electricity demand; heating demand; insulation;

   Abstract : Many buildings built in the 1960s are inefficient when it comes to their energy use. A lot of them are also in need of renovating. Therefore, this project is aiming to investigate five different scenarios where the decrease in electricity demand is in focus. READ MORE

3. 22. Structural strengthening and sustainability improvements of existing buildings – A case study

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

   Author : Pardis Niknafs; [2022]
   Keywords : Building retrofit; structural strengthening; energy efficiency; environmental impact; integrated and sustainable intervention; cross-laminated timber; life cycle assessment;

   Abstract : In Sweden, a large share of residential buildings was built more than 50 years ago. Consequently, old materials, poor maintenance, and corrosion can affect the structural performance of these buildings. Additionally, these buildings do not meet the latest energy efficiency and Eurocode regulations. READ MORE

4. 23. Glued connection for TCC slabs : Experimental and Numerical investigation

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

   Author : Ervin Halilovic; Seid Lotinac; [2022]
   Keywords : TCC connection; Composite element; Adhesive connection; Silicone Adhesive; Polyurethane Adhesive; Slip modulus; Shear stress; Cohesive elements; Traction seperation law; Mullins effect; Hysteresis;

   Abstract : Timber-concrete composite (TCC) structures are becoming more popular in several industrial applications as an efficient method for optimizing the structural performance and the cost of construction as well as lowering the emissions of carbon dioxide. TCC floors are more sustainable than pure concrete floors and more resistant to vibrations and excessive deflections than pure wooden floors. READ MORE

5. 24. Embedment Behavior of Steel Dowel in Timber: Influence of Moisture Content, Assembly History, and Artificial Cracks : An experimental and numerical study of embedment strength and stiffness of steel dowel in timber with different wood moisture content and assembly history

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

   Author : Zijad Shehadeh; [2022]
   Keywords : Embedment strength; Embedment stiffness; Moisture content; Assembly history; Artificial cracks; Steel Dowel;

   Abstract : Timber is becoming an increasingly popular construction material particularly due to its great environmental properties. Just alone around Linnaeus University in Växjö city, dozens of multistory buildings in timber have risen. READ MORE

6. 25. Wood and moisture-induced strains in a large deformation setting in 3D

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

   Author : Fredrik Ström; Anwar Obeido; [2022]
   Keywords : Total Lagrangian; Finite element method; Large deformation theory; Deformation gradient decomposition; Moisture-induced strains; Hygroscopic; Orthotropic.;

   Abstract : Many studies have previously been done on moisture-induced strains in wood. An in- finitesimal/engineering strain model has been used for most of these studies, which is often an accurate approximation for small rotations. However, if large deformations oc- cur, then fictive strains are obtained resulting from the simplified engineering strain. READ MORE
