11. Evaluating DInSAR for measuring seasonal elevation dynamics at the Vissátvuopmi palsa mire complex in Northern Sweden
University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : During recent years the palsa mires of Fennoscandia have reported to be undergoing extensive lateral degradation, and in a warming environment the palsa mires of Sweden among others are threatened to thaw completely by the end of this century. Since subarctic peatlands account for 30% of the global soil organic carbon storage, small degradation changes in these areas globally, can potentially change the greenhouse gas emissions on a worldwide scale.

12. Lateral Stabilization of CLT Buildings - Modelling approaches
University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaperAbstract : Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an environmentally positive building material with high stiffness and load-bearing capacity. In combination with a low self-weight, CLT is a beneficial material to use for the load-bearing structure of high-rise buildings. READ MORE

13. Optimization of structures byincluding modeling of pilefoundations : A parametric study on using stiff supports orpiles in a model
University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnadAbstract : Structural engineers use rules and regulations in the form of Eurocodes and other supplementary guidelines to design different type of structures. However, the uncertainty surrounding each case and the actual outcome that depends on decisions made throughout the design phase are of most importance and must be handled properly from start.

15. Dynamic Performance of a Tall Building to Earthquake Loading : Finding the optimum mass and stiffness
University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnadAbstract : With the increasing cost of land, the development of ultra-high performance concrete, and the technological advancements in equipment and machinery, we are able to construct and refurbish skyscrapers like never before. How they are built, what materials they use, or what structural system defines them, all affect their dynamic response, which in the end is the combination of the stiffness and mass, two key parameters in engineering of tall buildings.
