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

   Author : Erik Kimblad; [2024]
   Keywords : Critical infrastructure; Lifeline; Resilience; Interdependencies; Earthquake; Natural hazards; Turkey; Holistic; Disaster; Framework; Assessment; Empirical; Case study; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : On February 6, 2023, two earthquakes (7.8MW and 7.7MW) struck Turkey within nine hours, resulting in over 50,000 fatalities and significant damage to critical infrastructures (CI) which provide services essential for the functioning of society. READ MORE

3. 2. Indoor Air Pollution, Passive Ventilation Strategies and Thermal Comfort in Nepal

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

   Author : Marianne Löwgren; [2019]
   Keywords : Energy poverty; Solid biomass fuels; Improved cooking stoves; Indoor air pollution; Carbon monoxide; Vernacular architecture; Passive ventilation; Air exchange rate; Indoor air quality; Thermal comfort; Operative temperature; Sustainable societal development; Social Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Indoor Air Pollution (IAP) resulting from indoor burning of solid biomass fuels in poorly ventilated kitchens is a severe health risk in parts of the world where energy poverty is prevalent. Passive ventilation, i.e. taking advantage of naturally induced airflow has been suggested as crucial in reducing IAP levels below safe limits. READ MORE

4. 3. Seismic Analysis of Norra Tornen : A Comparison Based on the Requirements in Eurocode 8

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Andreas Barbaranelli; Andreas Wallin; [2019]
   Keywords : Earthquake design; High-Rise buildings; Tall buildings; Seismic Performance; Earthquake Engineering; Modal analysis; FE-analysis; Eurocode 8; Geotechnical engineering; Design Concepts; Foundation;

   Abstract : In Sweden, buildings are not designed to withstand earthquakes due to the rarity of an earthquake event and its consequential damage. However, the aim of this thesis was to study the seismic performance of some of the highest buildings in Stockholm, called Innovationen and Helix. READ MORE

5. 4. Resilient Model School in Nepal

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

   Author : Lydia Koedoot; [2018]
   Keywords : resiliency; resilient architecture; school; Nepal; Godawari; seismic design; humanitarian architecture; Kitini; design proposal; disaster resistant; earthquake; safe school design; model school; type design; Arts and Architecture;

   Abstract : During the Gorkha Earthquake in 2015 and its aftershocks, many schools have been damaged or collapsed in Nepal. Reconstruction of schools is still in progress. The lack of funding, resources, engineering skills, knowledge and accessibility makes it difficult for a lot of schools to reopen. READ MORE

6. 5. Evaluation of seismic action in Sweden using the European Seismic Hazard Model

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

   Author : Erik Larsson; Lucas Magnusson; [2017]
   Keywords : SHARE; ESHM13; Modal Response Spectrum Analysis; Linear Dynamics.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : In 2013 the European Seismic Hazard Model 2013 (ESHM13) was released as a result of the EU-funded project Seismic Harmonization in Europe (SHARE). This hazard model provides seismic data applicable for structural engineering for every location in Europe and Turkey that directly correlates to the seismic regulations provided by Eurocode 8.
