1. 16. Användning av krävande ballastmaterial vid betongtillverkning - En laborativ utvärdering av absorptionshämmande tillsatsmedel för att möjliggöra användning av glimmerrik bergkross och återvunnen betong som ballast

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial

   Author : Anna Hagberg; Andreas Andersson; [2023]
   Keywords : Absorption inhibitor; admixtures; aggregate; biotite; calorimetry; compressive strength; concrete; heat development; mica; recycled concrete; workability; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Detta examensarbete utvärderar ett absorptionshämmande tillsatsmedel för att möjliggöra användningen av krävande ballast vid betongtillverkning. Den huvudsakliga anledningen till att ballasten benämns som krävande är att den har ovanligt hög absorptionsförmåga. READ MORE

3. 17. A Comparative Lifecycle Impact Analysis: Assessing Global Warming Potential of Newly Manufactured and Reused Bricks for Building Construction in Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

5. 19. Rapid expansion of roof mounted PV systems in commercial facilities - How can they be insured?

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI); Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Erik Lindén; [2023]
   Keywords : PV system fires; PV component failures; PV regulations; future PV regulations; PV risk assessment; PV risk evaluation; PV insurance price; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : PV system components that are exposed to unmanageable strain can be overheated, which subsequently results in a fire ignition. Common failure factors are poor component quality, mechanical exposure due to natural phenomena and poor craftmanship. The underlying problem is that PV regulations are lacking in quality or are non-existent. READ MORE

6. 20. Environmental impact assessment of construction materials in a battery factory

   University essay from KTH/Hållbara byggnader

   Author : Monica Angulo Diaz; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This paper explores the environmental impact of construction materials in a battery factory, with a particular focus on their global warming potential, acidification, and eutrophication potential. The production of construction materials is found to contribute significantly to the overall environmental impact of a building, with steel and concrete identified as having the highest impact among the materials analyzed.
