1. 1. Lateral Stabilization of CLT Buildings - Modelling approaches

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

   Author : Lina Holmqvist; Sanna Källman Gleisner; [2022]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an environmentally positive building material with high stiffness and load-bearing capacity. In combination with a low self-weight, CLT is a beneficial material to use for the load-bearing structure of high-rise buildings. READ MORE

3. 2. 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. 3. 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

5. 4. 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 byggvetenskaper

   Author : Gustaf Olausson; [2021]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : 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

6. 5. FE-Modelling of a Joint for Cross-Laminated Timber

   University essay from Karlstads universitet/Avdelningen för maskin- och materialteknik

   Author : Linus Ekhagen; [2021]
   Keywords : cross-laminated timber; fe-modelling; continuum damage mechanics; fracture; korslimmat trä; fe modellering; skademekanik; brott;

   Abstract : Woodbe Engineering AB is a freshly started company that has developed a new type of joint for cross-laminated timber (CLT). The joint does not include any metallic fasteners, which improves sustainability, the ergonomics for the workers and time efficiency. READ MORE
