1. 11. Correlation between measured and perceived impact sound in schools

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Träteknik

   Author : Anton Burwall; [2022]
   Keywords : Acoustics; Impact sound; Impact sound insulation; Walking sound; Walking sound annoyance; Wood; Cross-laminated timber; CLT; Schools; Perception;

   Abstract : This project investigated the correlation between measured impact sound insulation and perceived walking sound annoyance in schools. The correlation was tested by performing standardized impact sound insulation measurements for different floor structures and comparing the measurement results with subjective perception of recorded walking for the same floor structures.

3. 12. Structural strengthening and sustainability improvements of existing buildings – A case study

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

   Author : Pardis Niknafs; [2022]
   Keywords : Building retrofit; structural strengthening; energy efficiency; environmental impact; integrated and sustainable intervention; cross-laminated timber; life cycle assessment;

   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

4. 13. Measurement Systems for Estimating Imposed Loads

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik

   Author : Cassandra Doggett; [2022]
   Keywords : strain gauge; potentiometer; measurement system; sensor; cross laminated timber; imposed load; live load; design standard; sustainability; CLT; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The construction sector stands for eleven percent of the carbon dioxide emissions in the world WorldGBC (2019). To minimize that impact, the construction sector must take a closer look at improving the sustainability of buildings. READ MORE

5. 14. Evaluation of a testing method for shear stiffness properties for cross laminated timber

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

   Author : Calle Lind; [2022]
   Keywords : CLT; cross laminated timber; EN 16351; four-point bending; rolling shear modulus; FE-modelling; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Cross laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product that was first developed in the 1990s. Since then it has grown in popularity thanks to its many advantages such as: low environment impact, high degree of prefabrication and low weight. As the material is relatively new the standardization process is still in the early stages. READ MORE

6. 15. 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
