1. 1. 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

3. 2. A Comparison between the Wickström Compartment Fire Model with Experiments and other Calculation Methods

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

   Author : Anna Pettersson; Carolina Puga Staffan; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : An Excel spreadsheet application has been developed for calculating pre-flashover compartment fire temperature according to the method described in the book ”Temperature Calculation in Fire Safety Engineering” written by Wickström 2016. Here called the Wickström Compartment Fire Model, WCFM, which is a model where the surrounding structure can be assumed either as lumped heat or as semi-infinite.

4. 3. Timber Concrete Composite floors with Cross Laminated Timber - Structural behavior & Design

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

   Author : Albin Forsberg; Filip Farbäck; [2020]
   Keywords : timber concrete composite; TCC; floors; cross-laminated timber; CLT; structural behavior; design methods; Gamma method; Equivalent gamma method; Extended gamma method; RFEM; first natural frequency; serviceability limit state; ultimate limit state; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : På grund av den ökade miljö- och klimatmedvetenheten har övergången till förnybara material påskyndats, och detsamma gäller intresset för träbyggande. Med att bygga högt i trä kommer dock ett flertal konstruktionsmässiga utmaningar, där en av utmaningarna är dynamik på grund av träets låga egenvikt jämfört med andra mer konventionella byggnadsmaterial.

5. 4. Acoustic performance of timber volume elements

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk akustik

   Author : Oliver Olsson; [2020]
   Keywords : Impact sound insulation; Air-borne sound insulation; Cross laminated timber; CLT; Timber Volume Element; Vibration Insulation.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The thesis investigates the acoustic performance of light weight timber constructions known as timber volume elements and vibration insulation methods employed in these. Common materials used in light weight timber floor constructions and different floor configurations consisting of these materials were also studied. READ MORE

6. 5. Investigation of impact sound behaviour in light weight floor constructions - A market survey and finite element analysis

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk akustik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

   Author : Fanny Sandberg; [2016]
   Keywords : intermediate floor; acoustics; impact sound; höga trähus; bjälklag; akustik; Stegljud; Ljud; wood; wooden high rise building; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : In the last years, the interest in high-rise timber framed building has gone up resulting in an increased demand for good solutions regarding sound insulation. Due to the worldwide growing interest in environmental issues, it has become of greater importance for companies to find ways to take care of their residue, instead of throwing it away. READ MORE
