  3. 2. Stability analysis and modelling of a structure with corrugated roof

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

    Author : Nikola Tosovic; [2020]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Corrugated galvanized iron (CGI), or corrugated sheet metal, is a lightweight roofing material that was invented in the early 1800s. The corrugation gives the steel an increased flexural strength in its installed direction and thus increases the amount of load the CGI-plate is able to carry and the span it can be effective at.

  4. 3. Analysis of progressive collapse in single-story buildings affected by local fire

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

    Author : Tim Hedlund; [2020]
    Keywords : Progressive collapse; Catenary force; Local fire; Steel buildings; Finite element analysis;

    Abstract : When a building is exposed to fire, it is required to remain structurally stable for a period of time. The regulations do however allow some types of localised failures within this time frame. READ MORE

  5. 4. Experimental study on innovative connections for large span structural timber trusses

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Petter Werner Åström; [2019]
    Keywords : Timber structure; timber joint; large span trusses; experimental study; structural timber; birch plywood; reinforcement screws;

    Abstract : Large span timber trusses are usually built with glulam. One problem with large span glulam trusses is that the connections needed to transfer the load between truss members are often complex and expensive. Another issue is transportation. READ MORE
