1. 1. Permanent Fire Load of the Building Envelope

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Gizelle Danine Pondevida Jamero; [2023]
   Keywords : Permanent fire load; temporary fire load; fire load; building envelope; insulation; building content; upholstered furniture; heat of combustion; MCC; bomb calorimeter; cone calorimeter; room corner test.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Fire load, the total thermal energy released by the combustion of a material, is an essential part of determining a building’s fire performance and the associated fire protection strategies. Elements in a structure are typically categorized into two types of fire loads: permanent and temporary. READ MORE

3. 2. The effect of furniture on room acoustic parameters and its dependence on the sound absorbing properties of the ceiling

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk akustik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

   Author : Huong Nguyen; [2023]
   Keywords : Room acoustics; furniture; Sabine s formula; SEA model; sound absorption; sound scattering; reverberation time; speech clarity; sound strength; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : In ordinary public rooms such as classrooms and offices, the base line of acoustical treatment is an absorbent suspended ceiling. Due to the non-uniform distribution of the absorptive ceiling material, the scattering as well as the absorption properties of furniture will have a significant effect on room acoustic parameters such as reverberation time, speech clarity and sound strength.

4. 3. CALFEM Geometry Editor - Implementing an interactive geometry editor for CALFEM

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

   Author : Karl Eriksson; [2021]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Commercial finite element codes are designed with a wide variety of tools and options to suit the needs of many different applications. However, in a teaching setting this is not always desirable as the effort required to learn the software draws focus and time from the teaching of the theoretical concepts. READ MORE

5. 4. Exploring intra-granular strain in granular systems under mechanical load using scanning 3DXRD

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

   Author : Philip Vestin; [2021]
   Keywords : Granular mechanics; 3DXRD; x-ray diffraction; Python; Physics and Astronomy; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This dissertation serves to explain the theory behind three-dimensional scanning x-ray diffraction while at the same time connecting the theory to a software package used for processing data obtained from measurements using scanning x-ray diffraction. This software package is then used and built upon to analyse the data obtained from the measurement of a sample of 12 silica grains subject to an uniaxial load of 60 N. READ MORE

6. 5. Modelling and simulation of vibratory driven sheet piles - Development of a stop criterion

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

   Author : Johannes Jonsson; Anton Andersson; [2021]
   Keywords : Vibratory driving; sheet pile; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : During excavations, steel sheet piles are often installed through vibratory driving, to establish a retaining wall that resists soil instability and ground water leakage. The method of vibratory driving is that the sheet pile is driven into the soil with a vertical vibratory motion. This is especially effective in soft soils. READ MORE
