  1. 21. Catenary action to prevent progressive collapse in multistorey timber buildings : An experimental study of tube joints

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Träteknik; Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik, maskin- och materialteknik

    Author : Sivert Knutsen; [2023]
    Keywords : wood; engineering; construction; massive timber; tube joints; Progressive collapse;

    Abstract : In the modern building industry wood as a building material has been looked on as one of the solutions to lower the environmentally impact of the building industry. Building types that normally have been reserved for concrete and steel are today being built with wood as main load bearing component. READ MORE

  3. 22. CFD Analyses for Wind Load AssessmentCFD Analyses for Wind Load Assessment : Wind-induced vibrations in the Bomarsunds Bridge hangers

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Fatiha El Azrak; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The trend in recent years of building longer and slender bridge components has introduced new challenges to ensure their stability and strength. This master thesis focuses on the effects of wind-induced vibrations in the context of long, slender arch bridge components, particularly the recently constructed Bomarsunds Bridge in Åland, Finland.

  4. 23. Topology optimization: perimeter restriction using total variation

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

    Author : Jonas Fredriksson; [2022]
    Keywords : Topology optimization; structural optimization; solid mechanics; total variation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Topology optimization is a method used to find optimal material distributions, within a specified domain, with respect to some performance measure. To avoid various artifacts to appear in the suggested design, the solution space is typically restricted, where some restriction methods allow different length scales to be controlled in the design.

  5. 24. Fire Resistance Test of Cross Laminated Timber Joints

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

    Author : Oliver Cato; [2022]
    Keywords : CLT; Joints; Fire; resistance; Korslaminerat; trä; skarvar; Brand; motstånd;

    Abstract : The increased popularity of timber buildings has heightened the demand for more knowledge on how tomake these buildings safer. In many cases, parts of wooden constructions are prebuilt in factories that later are delivered to the building site. Transportation by road limits the sizes of the parts. READ MORE

  6. 25. Integrating Fire Evacuation into the Building Information Modelling Workflow

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Nazim Yakhou; [2022]
    Keywords : Fire Safety Engineering; Building Information Modelling; Fire Evacuation; Performance Based Design; Golden Thread of Information; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Building Information Modelling (BIM) is arising gradually as a useful methodology in the AEC field. One of the many benefits of BIM is coordination between stakeholders from multiple disciplines. However, the field of Fire Safety Engineering (FSE) is relatively lagging by its lack of integration into this digital workflow. READ MORE
