  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TRAVELLING FIRE IN LARGE SPACES WITH MULTI-ZONE FIRE MODEL AND FDS

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Paolo Bertoli; [2021]
    Keywords : Multi-Zone fire model; FDS; Large enclosures; Travelling fire.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A knowledge of far field temperatures is valuable for Performance Based Design structural analysis and life safety analysis, where a parametric study is needed. A fire model using multiple zones called a multi zone (MZ) fire model has in previous studies shown good potential as an analytical tool for predicting far field temperatures in large compartments.

  5. 4. Performance of joints for glued laminated timber exposed to the ISO fire temperature curve

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Jesus Gil; [2021]
    Keywords : Glued laminated Timber; Structural fire engineering; Fire performance; standard ISO fire curve; Joints; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : As society becomes more ecologically conscious there is a push toward the use of materials with a smaller environmental burden, one of these materials is glulam (GLT), which has gained a lot of traction in recent years not only for ecological reasons but for its ease in manufacture, transport, noise dampening, etc. The focus of this project was to evaluate the influence of different joint configurations on the fire performance of glulam members.

  6. 5. Comparison of two different materials on frame systems with focus on life cycle analysis.

    University essay from KTH/Byggteknik och design

    Author : Josif Ibrahim; Ahmad Kateesh; [2020]
    Keywords : concrete; steel; life cycle analysis; structural engineering; konstruktion; betong; stål; livscykelanalys; stommaterial;

    Abstract : The structural engineer should not only be able to perform design calculations but also findmore efficient solutions for building parts. The purpose of this thesis is to redesign a concreteframe for a house (an apartment building) into a light frame with steel columns andcompartment walls, as well as perform a life cycle analysis for materials on both frames anddetermine the frame with the lowest environmental impact.
