  1. 6. Assessment of ice loads on piled structures based on local conditions

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Astrid Lindblom; Elin Ånger; [2022]
    Keywords : Ice loads; Local conditions; Structural design; Piled structures; Islaster; Lokala förhållanden; Dimensionering; Pålade konstruktioner;

    Abstract : This master report studies structural design methods for ice loads and the impact of local conditions. Ice loads occur due to ice movements or expansion of the ice sheet. Specifically, this study analyses ice loads on piled structures and ten different design methods and handbooks to calculate the ice load. READ MORE

  3. 7. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Trollhättan Energy optimization

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för byggnadsteknik, energisystem och miljövetenskap

    Author : William Wanli; [2021]
    Keywords : Energy performance; Energy retrofits; Energy optimization; IDA-ICE; LCC analysis;

    Abstract : The world is experiencing increasing energy usage owing to environmental impacts suchas climate change, Ozone layer depletion, and global warming. Energy usage is primarily categorized into transport, industrial, residential, and service sectors, with the transportation and industrial sectors taking up a considerable chunk of the energy use; Buildings partly determine the use of energy globally.

  4. 8. High Sampling Resolution Luminescence Dating of Loess in Brittany, France

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Vanda Jakabová; [2021]
    Keywords : aeolian dust; loess; luminescence; dMAR; Brittany; LGM; palaeoenvironment; eoliskt damm; loess flygmo ; luminescens; dMAR; Bretagne; LGM; paleomiljö;

    Abstract : Aeolian dust is an important but poorly understood component of the climate system, which both responds to and drives global climate. Recently, dust produced at the high latitudes is also gaining attention as a possible contributor to the atmospheric dust load. READ MORE

  5. 9. Rooftop plant factories: effects on energy use for heating, cooling and electric lighting

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Yizhi Zhang; [2021]
    Keywords : Urban and peri-urban agriculture and forestry UPAF ; urban farming UF ; rooftop greenhouse RTG ; lighting; daylighting; energy conservation; roof; greenhouse; food; cities.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Within the next thirty years, two thirds of the human population will live in a city. This growing urban population requires a major shift in the way we produce and distribute food, since industrial agriculture practices contribute to climate change, biodiversity losses, pollution of waterways, soil degradation, etc. READ MORE

  6. 10. Numerical study of the effect of thermal ice loads on concrete dams

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Imal Zuwak; Wasseem Kordoghly; [2020]
    Keywords : Arch dam; Buttress dam; Concrete; Finite element analysis; Ice load; Valvdamm; Lamelldamm; Betong; Finit elementanalys; Islast;

    Abstract : It is essential to understand the mechanics of ice load and how it affects concrete dams located in a cold climate, such as Sweden, where the temperature becomes sufficiently cold to freeze the surface of the reservoir. The purpose of this thesis is to study ice load distribution along concrete dams, and its response during the application of an ice load. READ MORE
