16. Moment-resisting connections for glulam using birch plywood : An experimental study on both mechanical and adhesive connections
University essay from KTH/ByggnadsmaterialAbstract : The aim of this study was to investigate the load-bearing capacity and stiffness of mechanical and adhesively bonded connections in timber structures with gusset plates made of birch plywood, as a preliminary study for potential future use in long-span timber structures which could reduce the environmental impact of the building sector by substituting steel with wood products in moment-resisting connections. Birch plywood was chosen for this study due to its high bending strength in comparison to plywood made of softwoods and its availability on the market. READ MORE

17. Geomechanical testing of non-hardening grout : for determination of flowability and strength properties
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/GeoteknologiAbstract : Due to an increasing amount of aging tendencies in Swedish embankment dams, failures such as internal erosion has become a more common problem. Internal erosion is a phenomenon where certain soil material within the embankment dam is removed, often over a longer period of time. READ MORE

18. Glued connection for TCC slabs : Experimental and Numerical investigation
University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)Abstract : Timber-concrete composite (TCC) structures are becoming more popular in several industrial applications as an efficient method for optimizing the structural performance and the cost of construction as well as lowering the emissions of carbon dioxide. TCC floors are more sustainable than pure concrete floors and more resistant to vibrations and excessive deflections than pure wooden floors. READ MORE

19. Load-bearing wood connections using birch plywood : An experimental study of birch plywood gusset plates behaviour with mechanical connectors
University essay from KTH/ByggnadsmaterialAbstract : A growing sustainability concern is pushing the construction industry to seekalternative materials with lower environmental impact. In the last decade useof wood as load-bearing construction has become a common trend, however,connections of timber elements are still performed by the use of steel plates. READ MORE

20. Investigation of methods to analyse global stability of a reinforced concrete stabilising core
University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnadAbstract : 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
