1. 6. Environmental and technical evaluation of cement reduction and test methods for fibre reinforced shotcrete in tunnels

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Elin Brodd; Lina Östlund; [2022]
   Keywords : Shotcrete; Global Warming Potential; Environmental Product Declaration; Tunnel construction; Fibre reinforcement; Compressive strength; Residual strength; GGBS; Sprutbetong; Klimatpåverkan; Miljövarudeklaration; Tunnelbyggande; Fiberarmering; Tryckhållfasthet; Residualhållfasthet; Granulerad Masugnsslagg;

   Abstract : The dominating support method for hard rock tunnels today is use of fibre reinforced shotcrete in combination with rock bolts. The fibre reinforced shotcrete secures smaller blocks, while rock bolts are used to support larger blocks in the rock. Application of shotcrete is done by spraying against the rock surface using compressed air. READ MORE

3. 7. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE OF ALTERNATE FIBRES FOR SHOTCRETE IN TUNNELS

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Shilpa Anand; [2022]
   Keywords : Shotcrete; Life cycle assessment; Environmental Product Declaration; Global warming potential; steel; basalt and synthetic fibres; flexural strength; energy absorption.;

   Abstract : Tunnels in hard and jointed rock are normally excavated in an arch shape to enable the rock mass to support its weight. Since the beginning of the 1980's, fibre reinforced shotcrete (FRS) in combination with rock bolts have been the dominating support method for hard rock tunnels. READ MORE

4. 8. Life Cycle Assessment of typical projects of the distribution power network : Assessment, Improvement & Recommendations

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Hugo Serres; [2022]
   Keywords : Life cycle assessment; GHG emissions; power infrastructures; Livscykelanalys; växthusgasutsläpp; energiinfrastrukturer;

   Abstract : The carbon footprint of the power generation is studied for more than 30 years now. In order to curb GHG emissions, politics, industrials and consumers tend to take action to reduce the carbon intensity of the electricity mix, spread electrification and enhance usage efficiency.

5. 9. The Impact of Insulation Materials on a Climate Declaration : A Study of a Swedish Preschool

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Industriell miljöteknik

   Author : Isabelle Hallkvist; Elin Nilsson; [2021]
   Keywords : Climate declaration; Insulation materials; Insulation material; Climate impact; Greenhouse gas emissions; Building and construction sector; Boverket; Glass wool; Stone wool; EPS; XPS; Cellulose fibre; Foam glass; Klimatdeklaration; Isoleringsmaterial; Klimatpåverkan; Växthusgasutsläpp; Bygg- och fastighetssektorn; Boverket; Glasull; Stenull; EPS; XPS; Cellulosafiber; Skumglas;

   Abstract : To reach the net-zero carbon goal by 2045, the Swedish government want to push the building and construction sector to lower their greenhouse gas emissions. This push is performed by implementing a law requiring building developers to perform a climate declaration over greenhouse gas emissions, to receive a building’s final clearance. READ MORE

6. 10. Environmental performance of a cross laminated timber (CLT) building system with a focus on carbon footprint

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggd miljö och energiteknik (BET)

   Author : Nima Esmaeeli; [2021]
   Keywords : Cross laminated timber; carbon footprint; environmental impacts; life cycle assessment;

   Abstract : The global construction industry accounts for more than 30% of the energy consumption and 40% of the carbon dioxide emissions, and roughly 60% of raw material extraction. A cross laminated timber building system is one solution to reduce the construction industry's environmental impact, particularly carbon footprint. READ MORE
