  1. 1. Pros and Cons of Using Large Concrete Blocks in an Office Building Structure : Comfort, Stability, Sustainability

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Shwan Baban; Asliyalfani Abolfazl; [2023]
    Keywords : Concrete blocks; C3C blocks; FE models; life cycle analysis; mechanical connections; CO2 emissions.;

    Abstract : In 2019, the cement industry used 280 million tons of oil equivalent, contributing to 7% of totalindustrial energy consumption. This resulted in 2.4 billion tons of CO2 emissions, constituting26% of the industrial sector’s CO2 output and 7% of global energy-related emissions. READ MORE

  3. 2. Finite Element Macro-modeling of a Historical Masonry Building : Influence of Isotropic vs Anisotropic Plastic Material Model Assumption in Static Analysis

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Madeleine Olsson; Maja Gustavsson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this study, a macro-modeling strategy is implemented in a bearing wall with arch openings in an existing historical masonry building. This is to investigate what differences and similarities can be observed from the assumption of an orthotropic versus an isotropic constitutive material model. READ MORE

  4. 3. Composite timber structures – Ribbed plate design : Evaluation of existing and development of new design methods

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Cristoffer Mård; [2022]
    Keywords : Ribbed plates; CLT; gamma-method; Timoshenko-method; shear analogy-method; FE-models; RFEM; Abaqus;

    Abstract : Ribbed plates comprising cross-laminated timber slab, CLT, with glulam beams allow for increased span length compared to pure CLT slabs. At the moment the Eurocodes do not provide any recommendations to design a CLT plate or a ribbed plate. There are handbooks for designing ribbed plates. READ MORE

  5. 4. Structural strengthening and sustainability improvements of existing buildings – A case study

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Pardis Niknafs; [2022]
    Keywords : Building retrofit; structural strengthening; energy efficiency; environmental impact; integrated and sustainable intervention; cross-laminated timber; life cycle assessment;

    Abstract : In Sweden, a large share of residential buildings was built more than 50 years ago. Consequently, old materials, poor maintenance, and corrosion can affect the structural performance of these buildings. Additionally, these buildings do not meet the latest energy efficiency and Eurocode regulations. READ MORE

  6. 5. 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
