  1. 1. Loading tests on composite concrete columns : A comparison between composite columns made of permanent 3DPC formwork filled with SCC and columns made of homogenous SCC

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Abdulla Al-Bazarkan; Hussain Alahmad; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In order to achieve increased sustainability when casting concrete structures this thesis investigates the possibility of utilizing 3D-printing to construct formwork and digitalize construction. By digitizing construction less workers are needed and therefore less capital. READ MORE

  2. 2. Mycelium + Wood = <3 : How can I reduce the CO2 impact of a chair?

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Malmstens Linköpings universitet

    Author : Ragnar Brodow; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The primary objective of this study is to examine the viability of developing a chair with a significantly reduced carbon footprint. The research explores two distinct approaches for achieving minimal material usage in the construction process: one involving a minimal amount of wood, and the other utilizing solely wooden waste.
