16. Structural strengthening and sustainability improvements of existing buildings – A case study
University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)Abstract : In Sweden, a large share of residential buildings was built more than 50 years ago. Consequently, old materials, poor maintenance, and corrosion can affect the structural performance of these buildings. Additionally, these buildings do not meet the latest energy efficiency and Eurocode regulations. READ MORE

17. Moment-resisting connections for glulam using birch plywood : An experimental study on both mechanical and adhesive connections
University essay from KTH/ByggnadsmaterialAbstract : The aim of this study was to investigate the load-bearing capacity and stiffness of mechanical and adhesively bonded connections in timber structures with gusset plates made of birch plywood, as a preliminary study for potential future use in long-span timber structures which could reduce the environmental impact of the building sector by substituting steel with wood products in moment-resisting connections. Birch plywood was chosen for this study due to its high bending strength in comparison to plywood made of softwoods and its availability on the market. READ MORE

19. Load-bearing wood connections using birch plywood : An experimental study of birch plywood gusset plates behaviour with mechanical connectors
University essay from KTH/ByggnadsmaterialAbstract : A growing sustainability concern is pushing the construction industry to seekalternative materials with lower environmental impact. In the last decade useof wood as load-bearing construction has become a common trend, however,connections of timber elements are still performed by the use of steel plates. READ MORE

20. Optimized design of a load transfer concrete slab
University essay from KTH/BetongbyggnadAbstract : Hybrid buildings, designed for multi-use occupancies, require a different arrangement of supporting structures at each level of the support functionality. In these types of buildings, the structural model of a building is discontinuous, and therefore new, non-vertical, load paths need to be formed allowing the vertical load to transfer to the foundations.
