  1. 11. Horizontal natural frequency in a 10 story building : A comparison between CLT and concrete using estimate calculations

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Author : Jennifer Eriksson; [2018]
    Keywords : Horizontal natural frequency; tall timber building; timber structure; CLT; wind induced motion; tall CLT building; Horisontell egenfrekvens; hög träbyggnad; höga trähus; KL-trä; vindinducerade rörelser; högt KL-hus;

    Abstract : Tall slender buildings are easily set in motion by wind and earthquakes but by estimating the buildings horizontal natural frequencies in the design phase, these motions can be kept within acceptable boundaries. There are many parameters that decides the natural frequency of a building and it can therefore be difficult to calculate it. READ MORE

  3. 12. Post-tensioned stress ribbon systems in long-span roofs : Case study: Västerås Travel Center

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Samih Ahmed; Guayente Minchot; [2018]
    Keywords : cable suspended; stress ribbon; roof structure; post-tensioned concrete; SAP2000;

    Abstract : The stress ribbon system has numerous advantages, that includes but are not limitedto: increasing overall stiffness, control deflections and reduction of materialsconsumption, which in turn, reduces the load and the cost. Nevertheless, its use isusually limited to bridges, in particular, pedestrian bridges; this can be attributedto the insufficient space that buildings’ usually have for end supports, or/and backstayedcables, that can accommodate the expected high pull-out forces occuring atthe cables’ ends.

  4. 13. Compression perpendicular to the grain of Cross-Laminated Timber : Influence of support conditions of CLT on compressive strength and stiffness

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Qibin Huang; Anitha Joy; [2018]
    Keywords : Cross-Laminated Timber CLT ; connections; experiments; digital image correlation; slip curve; stiffness; compressive strength; finite element simulation.;

    Abstract : Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) has recently become a popular construction material for building timber structures. One advantage of CLT is, that it can be used as floor, beam and wall element. As the arrangements of layers in CLT is in perpendicular direction to each other, it exhibits remarkable strength properties in both in-plane directions. READ MORE

  5. 14. Analysis of Catenary Shaped Timber Structures

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik

    Author : Kristoffer Persson; [2018]
    Keywords : Timber construction; Caternary structures; Tensile timber roof; Stress ribbon; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In the design of a building there are many parameters that effect the material efficiency. The choice of structural solution and material are two of the parameters that will be investigated further in this rapport. READ MORE
