  1. 16. Glued connection for TCC slabs : Experimental and Numerical investigation

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Ervin Halilovic; Seid Lotinac; [2022]
    Keywords : TCC connection; Composite element; Adhesive connection; Silicone Adhesive; Polyurethane Adhesive; Slip modulus; Shear stress; Cohesive elements; Traction seperation law; Mullins effect; Hysteresis;

    Abstract : Timber-concrete composite (TCC) structures are becoming more popular in several industrial applications as an efficient method for optimizing the structural performance and the cost of construction as well as lowering the emissions of carbon dioxide. TCC floors are more sustainable than pure concrete floors and more resistant to vibrations and excessive deflections than pure wooden floors. READ MORE

  3. 17. Life cycle analysis and comparison of climate impact for two alternative floor systems for increased weight in high-rise timber buildings

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Nir Kedem; [2022]
    Keywords : Life cycle assessment; LCA; Anavitor; Environmental impact; Building materials; Timber; Concrete; Gravel; Adding weight system.;

    Abstract : The aim of this Master Thesis is to investigate and quantify the climate impact for two floor system alternatives for the Cederhusen project, that is the 8 floors timber-based buildings located at Sankt Eriksplan in Stockholm. The overall motivation for this study is the fact that the construction industry is a major contributor to the total amount of the global greenhouse gas emissions. READ MORE

  4. 18. Attenuation of bending waves in cross-laminated timber panels by using constrained damping layer

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Träteknik

    Author : Konrad Boeske; [2021]
    Keywords : Wood technology; damping; CLT; acoustic; low frequencies; AkuTimber;

    Abstract : Multi-storey wooden buildings become more and more popular. As the new housing solutions are more accessible, acoustical inconveniences of wooden buildings become actual as never before. Wood, thanks to its high stiffness and low mass, allows to erect buildings at impressive pace, albeit cannot damp low frequency noises efficiently. READ MORE

  5. 19. Strength of axially loaded screw joints in wooden structures exposed to fire : An overview of existing knowledge and proposal for test method

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Emma Wiklund; [2021]
    Keywords : Fire; Wood; Screws; Strength; test method;

    Abstract : Today, distinct approaches are required when designing timber structures and their joints in the event of fire. Considering that the steel fasteners have temperature dependent properties and that the surrounding wooden construction is also affected by the fire due to occurrence of charring during fire exposure, these types of joints are complicated to design.

  6. 20. Technical Optimization of a Long Span Beam made of Glulam Elements

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Mario Bulgarini; [2021]
    Keywords : Glulam structures; long span ceilings; optimal arrangement; technical considerations; self weight minimum.;

    Abstract : Timber constructions have during the past two or three decades become more andmore common, mostly due to the easy prefabrication and the cheap, sustainablematerial. For long-span applications it is vital to find design solutions that optimizethe structure from the point of view of material consumption, number of theconnections, structural reliability etc. READ MORE
