  1. 1. Pros and Cons of Using Large Concrete Blocks in an Office Building Structure : Comfort, Stability, Sustainability

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Shwan Baban; Asliyalfani Abolfazl; [2023]
    Keywords : Concrete blocks; C3C blocks; FE models; life cycle analysis; mechanical connections; CO2 emissions.;

    Abstract : In 2019, the cement industry used 280 million tons of oil equivalent, contributing to 7% of totalindustrial energy consumption. This resulted in 2.4 billion tons of CO2 emissions, constituting26% of the industrial sector’s CO2 output and 7% of global energy-related emissions. READ MORE

  3. 2. Accelerated Testing of the End-plate Assembly of a Redox Flow Battery

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Saksham Jindal; [2022]
    Keywords : Energy Storage; Flow Batteries; Accelerated Testing; Contact Resistance; Endplate Assembly; Leak Rate; Stack Design; Energilagring; flödesbatterier; accelererad provning; kontaktmotstånd; montering av ändplattor; läckagehastighet; utformning av staplar.;

    Abstract : As the world transitions to intermittent renewable energy sources like solar and wind, the need for long-duration energy storage technologies is becoming more and more prominent. In this regard, flow batteries are seen as a promising solution, owing to their inherent advantages like decoupling of power and energy, extremely high cycle life and negligible self-discharge.

  4. 3. Evaluation of a testing method for shear stiffness properties for cross laminated timber

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

    Author : Calle Lind; [2022]
    Keywords : CLT; cross laminated timber; EN 16351; four-point bending; rolling shear modulus; FE-modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Cross laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product that was first developed in the 1990s. Since then it has grown in popularity thanks to its many advantages such as: low environment impact, high degree of prefabrication and low weight. As the material is relatively new the standardization process is still in the early stages. READ MORE

  5. 4. FE modeling of glulam beams with mechanical slotted-in steel plate connections.

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Musaab Mahjoub; [2021]
    Keywords : Timber joints; Slotted-in steel plate connections; Python scripting; FEM; Abaqus.;

    Abstract : The mechanical behavior of timber beams with a slotted-in steel plate connection is studied by creating a numerical model that is able to simulate the global bending behavior, the global load carrying capacity and the nonlinear plastic fastener force distribution in the connection. Experimental results from Material Testing Institute (MPA), University of Stuttgart were used to verify the simulation results from this study. READ MORE

  6. 5. Effects of cracking of coupling beams onhigh rise towers subjected to wind load

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Brook Worku Woldemikael; [2020]
    Keywords : Crack; reinforcement content; aspect ratio; shear deformation; joint flexibility; concrete grade; effective stiffness.; Sprickor; förstärkningsinnehåll; tvärsnittsförhållande; skjuvdeformation; ledflexibilitet; betongkvalitet; effektiv styvhet;

    Abstract : In high rise towers, reinforced concrete elevator shafts with coupling beams are extensively used as a principal structural element to resist lateral loads. The lateral load resistance of the tower is dominantly dependent on the stiffness of the load-bearing walls, and coupling beams connecting them. READ MORE
