  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. Investigation of methods to analyse global stability of a reinforced concrete stabilising core

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Evelina Husak; Ellinor Persson; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Ensuring the structural stability of a building is an evident requirement for the building to be safe to use. This becomes a qualified task for a structural engineer. Ensuring stability has become especially important nowadays while stabilising elements often are kept to a minimum and tall buildings are common. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. RC Trough Bridges: A Parametric Study using FEM and an Analysis of their Current State

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : David Åkergren; [2021]
    Keywords : concrete; trough bridges; parametric study; FEM; BaTMan; ATENA; load eccentricity; compressive strength; tensile strength;

    Abstract : There are approximately 4000 railway bridges in Sweden managed by the Swedish Administration of Transport (Trafikverket), of which a common construction type is the reinforced concrete (RC) trough bridge, which is a structure that consists of a slab carried by two longitudinal main beams which transfer loads towards the supports. A substantial amount of the RC trough bridge population is approaching the end of their service lives which consequently implies that the replacement of some of these bridges can be expected in the near future.

  6. 5. Parameterized Modelling of Global Structural Behaviour of Modular Based Two Storey Timber Structure

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Daudi Salezi Augustino; Bernard Adjei Antwi-Afari; [2018]
    Keywords : Modular-based timber structure; FE-simulations; parameterized modelling; spring stiffness; friction; angle brackets and uplift plates;

    Abstract : The global stiffness behaviour of modular-based two storey timber structures was studied under prescribed horizontal displacements at the upper corners of the volume modules. To be able to study this behaviour, a numerical finite element model was created in Abaqus. READ MORE
