  1. 16. Nötkreaturs betningsbeteende på bränt och på obränt naturbete

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

    Author : My Strömgren; [2021]
    Keywords : betningsbeteende; brand; nötkreatur; naturbete; obränt bete; bränt bete;

    Abstract : Habitats worldwide have undergone changes which have had effects on the living conditions for many species. Some landscapes have opened up due to agriculture, others have changed into fragmented monocultural habitats due to forestation. READ MORE

  3. 17. Complex Stress States In Structural Birch Plywood : An experimental study on the behaviour of birch plywood in structural applications

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Patrik Hedlund; Pontus Persson; [2021]
    Keywords : large-span-structures; trusses; truss nodes; timber connections; engineered wood products; birch plywood; glued connections; dowelled connections; gusset plates;

    Abstract : For structural engineers, the two most important design criteria are utility andsafety. It is about making sure that a structural component is reliable enough not toendanger any of a building's users, while at the same time being as sustainable andefficiently designed as possible.

  4. 18. INTERMEDIATE-SCALE TESTS AND CONE CALORIMETER TESTS - FIRE BEHAVIOUR OF SELECTED FACADE MATERIALS

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Tanja Cernosa; [2020]
    Keywords : Fire behaviour; Intermediate-scale facade tests; cone calorimeter; stone wool; phenolic foam; WRB; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In the last few years, the implementation of well-ventilated façades in buildings increased due to their improved energy performance. However, their double-wall construction due to the limited airflow within an air cavity represents a significant fire risk, since the flames that spread into the air cavity can elongate up to ten times.

  5. 19. Burning material behaviour in hypoxic environments: An experimental study examining fire dynamics of composite materials in vitiated conditions

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Robert Bray; [2020]
    Keywords : ORS; Fire engineering; hypoxic; polymers; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The progression of fire safety research has contributed to improving the guiding principles of standardised building design. Research making use of pure materials, once common in homes and workplaces, are less relevant as such materials are no longer as prevalent. READ MORE

  6. 20. The Influence of Cavity Widths and Lateral Ventilation Conditions on the Fire Behaviour within a Non-Combustible Ventilated Façade System

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Daniel Fogerty; [2020]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Present uncertainties in key ventilation parameters, characterising the fire performance of facades, has necessitated clarification in the foundational understanding of the Fire Science Body of Knowledge. A test program conducted in collaboration between Lunds Universitet and the Kingspan Group, studied the influence of cavity widths and lateral ventilation conditions on the fire behaviour within Intermediate-scale ventilated façades following the ISO 13785-1 standards.
