1. 1. Vägsaltets påverkan på närliggande vegetation, mark samt närliggande slitlager

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

   Author : Jakob Frängsmyr; Stina Nilsson; [2020]
   Keywords : vägsalt; struktur; halkbekämpning; jord; lignoser; påverkan;

   Abstract : Syftet med detta arbete är att göra en litteraturstudie och sammanställa fakta om hur vägsalt (NaCl, natriumklorid) påverkar vår stadsmiljö samt att få en överblick hur vegetation, slitlager och markytor i närheten av saltbehandlade vägar påverkas av den höga saltningsintensiteten. I arbetet ingår också en kartläggning av vilka andra alternativ och metoder till salt som provats för att eventuellt kunna vara likvärdiga eller bättre i sin funktion och inte vara lika skadliga som salt är för miljön.

3. 2. An integrated simulation-based method for considering weather effects on concrete work tasks’ productivity and concrete curing

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för bygg- och miljöteknologi

   Author : Robert Larsson; [2020]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This report presents an integrated simulation-based approach to study the on-site production of concrete frameworks by considering the multiple effects of weather on work task productivity and concrete curing process. The suggested approach enable to systematically study how different weather conditions and the use of climate-improved concrete in combination with different methods to shield concrete curing, affect construction time, cost, and carbon emissions.

4. 3. Indicators for Flood Adaptation Assessment: The Case of New York City

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Cristina Bernal Aparicio; [2020]
   Keywords : Vulnerability; flood risk management; framework for flood adaptation; climate change; disaster risk reduction.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Due to both the effects of climate change and the high concentrations of infrastructure and socio-economic activity in low-lying areas in NYC, floods have the potential to destroy homes and businesses, impair infrastructure, and threaten human safety. Measurement, reporting, and verification are vital steps in evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of a climate change adaptation efforts. READ MORE

5. 4. Assessing the Passive House regulations for future climate conditions in Swedish single family residential building

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

   Author : Shambhatra Sreepada Vinay; [2017]
   Keywords : Climate change; Global warming; Future climate; Passive house; Passive house regulations; Mould Index; Mould Growth; Future Heating Demand; Future Cooling Demand; Future Moisture Performance of wall and roof.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Global warming is a very much researched and debated topic in the current period as we can see the effects around us. The literature and discussions have pointed to a surface temperature rise of up to 10°C at the poles and around 4°C-7°C around the equator. READ MORE

6. 5. Modeling of temperature variations and response in a mining road bridge in Kiruna

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik

   Author : Mikael Fabricius; Henrik Ekman; [2016]
   Keywords : CLIMATE; TEMPERATURE; FINITE ELEMENT; DEFORMATIONS; KIRUNA; SMHI; BRIDGE; STRAINS; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This thesis treats a concrete bridge located in Kiruna, in the north of Sweden, which was used for the mining industry. A finite element model has been created with the finite element software Abaqus to find out if it accurately can describe the variation of the temperature and deformation within the bridge over time.
