  1. 1. Hybrid bridge deck of timber and corrugated steel plates

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Muze Lu; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Over the years, hybrid structures composed of timber and steel have become a potential alternative to conventional solutions. Recently, corrugated steel plate (CSP) has become more and more popular in structures such as shear walls and roofs due to its favorable mechanical properties. READ MORE

  3. 2. Investigation of coarse-grid CFD approach for nuclear engineering application

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Michela Casarella; [2023]
    Keywords : Thermal-hydraulics; Nuclear reactor; CFD; Sub-channel; Coarse-grid; Turbulence; Pressure drop; Termisk-hydraulik; kärnreaktor; CFD; underkanal; grovkornigt nät; turbulens; tryckfall;

    Abstract : In this thesis, an innovative coarse grid CFD approach is developed that aims toexploit the capabilities of sub-channel codes and CFD methods while overcoming theirlimitations. In the approach, a very coarse mesh is implemented in the CFD softwareOpenFOAM and a new wall treatment, based on the traditional concept of the wallfunction, is applied to the wall boundary conditions of the domain to take into accountthe low resolution of the grid which does not allow to effectively capture the effect of thesolid walls on the thermo-hydraulics of the flow.

  4. 3. Semi-Automatic calculation of the stability of shear walls in multi-storey buildings

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik

    Author : Erik Bolin; Emil Sjöstedt; [2022]
    Keywords : Horizontal stabilisation; Dynamo; Shear walls; Stability; Conceptual design phase; Visual programming; Openings in shear walls; Load distribution; Relative stiffness; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Performing horizontal stability analysis in the conceptual design phase is time consuming and adjustments in the geometry of the building require new time consuming calculations. Often buildings are modelled in 3D modelling software such as Revit and Tekla but the calculations are often performed in a separate software. 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. Investigation of methods to analyse global stability of a reinforced concrete stabilising core

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Evelina Husak; Ellinor Persson; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : 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
