  1. 1. Evaluation of a testing method for shear stiffness properties for cross laminated timber

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

    Author : Calle Lind; [2022]
    Keywords : CLT; cross laminated timber; EN 16351; four-point bending; rolling shear modulus; FE-modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Cross laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product that was first developed in the 1990s. Since then it has grown in popularity thanks to its many advantages such as: low environment impact, high degree of prefabrication and low weight. As the material is relatively new the standardization process is still in the early stages. READ MORE

  3. 2. Creative development of lightweight façade constructions in modular housing : The struggle to shut out the noise of the world

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik, konst och samhälle

    Author : Johan Albihn; [2022]
    Keywords : Acoustical engineering; façade wall construction; modular housing; traffic noise reduction; lightweight construction; industrial design engineering; Akustik; fasadväggkonstruktion; modulhus; reducering av trafikbuller; lättviktskonstruktion; teknisk design;

    Abstract : Modular construction of housing is an industry on the rise. The prefabrication of construction modules gives a greater control over material consumption, promotes standardization, and lessens the disturbance during the construction time in the field. Lindbäcks Bygg AB prefabricates housing modules in their factory at Haraholmen, Piteå. READ MORE

  4. 3. Enhancing the value of customization in the Swedish prefabricated housing industry : an architectural design approach

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för design (DE)

    Author : Kristina Mae Banzon; [2022]
    Keywords : Customization; prefabrication; modularity; BIM; sustainability;

    Abstract : Houses are unique personal spaces and individuals want flexibility and personalization in building their dream house. There is a current challenge in the prefabricated housing industry in Sweden where customers have increasing design demands and options that in essence, defeat the purpose of fixed design and prefabrication.

  5. 4. Technical Optimization of a Long Span Beam made of Glulam Elements

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Mario Bulgarini; [2021]
    Keywords : Glulam structures; long span ceilings; optimal arrangement; technical considerations; self weight minimum.;

    Abstract : Timber constructions have during the past two or three decades become more andmore common, mostly due to the easy prefabrication and the cheap, sustainablematerial. For long-span applications it is vital to find design solutions that optimizethe structure from the point of view of material consumption, number of theconnections, structural reliability etc. READ MORE
