1. 21. Statistical analysis of firefighting and damage caused by fire in mid-rise timber-framed residential buildings compared to other construction types

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Thomas Berg; [2021]
   Keywords : Statistical analysis; timber-framed; residential; firefighting; damage caused by fire; PRONTO; NFID; linear regression; summary statistics; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The contribution of greenhouse gas emissions in the production of construction materials has sparked a new interest and recent changes in building regulations regarding the use of renewables like wood as the main component in load-bearing elements. Recent regulation changes focus on allowing taller timber structures which bides the question of how to adequately maintain an acceptable level of fire protection considering the characteristically flammable properties of wood-based products.

3. 22. Complex Stress States In Structural Birch Plywood : An experimental study on the behaviour of birch plywood in structural applications

   University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

   Author : Patrik Hedlund; Pontus Persson; [2021]
   Keywords : large-span-structures; trusses; truss nodes; timber connections; engineered wood products; birch plywood; glued connections; dowelled connections; gusset plates;

   Abstract : For structural engineers, the two most important design criteria are utility andsafety. It is about making sure that a structural component is reliable enough not toendanger any of a building's users, while at the same time being as sustainable andefficiently designed as possible.

   Keywords : Cross-laminated timber CLT ; Four-point bending; Bending stiffness; Shear stiffness; Plates; Lamellas;

   Abstract : The use of timber in building structures is steadily increasing. cross laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product made of an uneven number of layers of lamellas glued at an angle of 90 degrees to each other. READ MORE

5. 24. Determination of thermal conductivity for mastic asphalt by combining previously performed laboratory work and TASEF

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

   Author : Martin Kruse Lindgren; [2021]
   Keywords : Mastic asphalt; BPGJA-11; thermal conductivity; TASEF; FEM; Timber; Gjutasfalt; BPGJA-11; termisk konduktivitet; TASEF; FEM; Trä;

   Abstract : Mastic asphalt is a material which in Sweden mainly is used as coating for bridges, parking decks, courtyards and terraces. Mastic asphalt is a material built-up by a combination of bitumen (a type of binder), well-graded aggregate (consists of both coarse and fine ballast), filler, sand and sometimes also fine graded macadam.

6. 25. Modeling of moisture-induced deformations and stresses in cross-laminated timber and timber-concrete composite floors

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

   Author : Marcus Johansson; [2021]
   Keywords : abaqus; numerical modeling; moisture content; relative humidity; cross-laminated timber; timber-concrete composite; finite element; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Korslimmat trä är ett tämligen nytt material, bestående av korslagda lager av brädor. Produkten tillåter nya byggmetoder och kan ses som ett grönare alternativ till stål och betong. Dess uppbyggnad gör det mer robust och mindre beroende av träets varierande egenskaper för olika geometriska dimensioner. READ MORE
