  1. 1. Feasibility study of a high-rise CLT building in a seismic area with high wind loads : A finite element approach

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Inga Berglind Eggertsdóttir; Emelía Ósk Gunnarsdóttir; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Timber has been used as a construction material for thousands of years. However,the inventions of stronger materials and increased construction of taller buildings hasled to decreased use of wood products. READ MORE

  3. 2. A parametric study of the static and dynamic performance of timber arch footbridges with different hanger configurations

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : ALEJANDRO GARCÍA GARCÍA; [2022]
    Keywords : Arch bridges; footbridge dynamics; critical load; bridge typology; parametric study;

    Abstract : The influence of the hanger configuration in the arch and deck bending moments under asymmetric loads is widely used nowadays for improved designs of arch bridges. In this work, by means of a parametric study, those hanger configurations that most efficiently increase both the natural frequencies and buckling factors are identified, simultaneously evaluating the dynamic and static performance of timber arch footbridges.

  4. 3. Semi-Automatic calculation of the stability of shear walls in multi-storey buildings

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik

    Author : Erik Bolin; Emil Sjöstedt; [2022]
    Keywords : Horizontal stabilisation; Dynamo; Shear walls; Stability; Conceptual design phase; Visual programming; Openings in shear walls; Load distribution; Relative stiffness; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Performing horizontal stability analysis in the conceptual design phase is time consuming and adjustments in the geometry of the building require new time consuming calculations. Often buildings are modelled in 3D modelling software such as Revit and Tekla but the calculations are often performed in a separate software. READ MORE

  5. 4. Structural strengthening and sustainability improvements of existing buildings – A case study

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Pardis Niknafs; [2022]
    Keywords : Building retrofit; structural strengthening; energy efficiency; environmental impact; integrated and sustainable intervention; cross-laminated timber; life cycle assessment;

    Abstract : In Sweden, a large share of residential buildings was built more than 50 years ago. Consequently, old materials, poor maintenance, and corrosion can affect the structural performance of these buildings. Additionally, these buildings do not meet the latest energy efficiency and Eurocode regulations. READ MORE

  6. 5. Material Characterization and Blade Impact Simulation

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Gustaf Bodare; [2022]
    Keywords : Strain rate dependency; Split-Hopkinson pressure bar; Digital image correlation; LS-DYNA; FEM; SPG;

    Abstract : Blades used on brushcutters and lawn mowers are subjected to a wide variety of working conditions. Besides continuous loads from cutting grass, the blades are also subjected to accidental impacts of branches, stones and structures. READ MORE
