  1. 1. Feasibility study of a high-rise CLT building in a seismic area with high wind loads : A finite element approach

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Inga Berglind Eggertsdóttir; Emelía Ósk Gunnarsdóttir; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Timber has been used as a construction material for thousands of years. However,the inventions of stronger materials and increased construction of taller buildings hasled to decreased use of wood products. READ MORE

  3. 2. Balancing between environmental impact and vibroacoustic performance for lightweight buildings

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

    Author : Philip Carlsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Multi-storey buildings constructed in timber have become more common in recent years. A reason for this lies in the growing interest for sustainable building, where timber is seen as a particularly interesting alternative. READ MORE

  4. 3. Dustiness Testing and Particle Characterization of CNT-enhanced Concretes

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi

    Author : Sara Marsh; [2021]
    Keywords : concrete; dustiness; airborne particles; carbon nanotubes; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The introduction of fibers into concrete is a common way of reinforcing the mechanical properties and preventing cracking. The fibers act as bridges between the composite components and help reduce the porosity. Today, micrometer-sized fibers are widely used, but there is an increased interest in using smaller fibers e.g. READ MORE

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

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

    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.

  6. 5. Comparison of two different materials on frame systems with focus on life cycle analysis.

    University essay from KTH/Byggteknik och design

    Author : Josif Ibrahim; Ahmad Kateesh; [2020]
    Keywords : concrete; steel; life cycle analysis; structural engineering; konstruktion; betong; stål; livscykelanalys; stommaterial;

    Abstract : The structural engineer should not only be able to perform design calculations but also findmore efficient solutions for building parts. The purpose of this thesis is to redesign a concreteframe for a house (an apartment building) into a light frame with steel columns andcompartment walls, as well as perform a life cycle analysis for materials on both frames anddetermine the frame with the lowest environmental impact.
