1. 1. FEM analysis of existing buildings during renovation

   University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

   Author : Agnes Nyberg; [2023]
   Keywords : Sturegallerian; Räumlich Finite Element Method; Euro code; Masonry; Steel amplifier; Sturegallerian; Räumlich Finita Element Metod; Eurokoder; Murverk; Stål förstärkning;

   Abstract : In this masters thesis the aim was to investigate a part of Sturegallerian in Stockholm to be reconstructed. The reconstruction did implicate that openings were to be established in an already existing masonry wall. READ MORE

3. 2. Finite Element Macro-modeling of a Historical Masonry Building : Influence of Isotropic vs Anisotropic Plastic Material Model Assumption in Static Analysis

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Madeleine Olsson; Maja Gustavsson; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In this study, a macro-modeling strategy is implemented in a bearing wall with arch openings in an existing historical masonry building. This is to investigate what differences and similarities can be observed from the assumption of an orthotropic versus an isotropic constitutive material model. READ MORE

4. 3. Modelling masonry spires : An investigation

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Dennis Lillemo; [2021]
   Keywords : Abaqus; Concrete damage plasticity; Finite element method; Limit analysis; Macro-modelling; Masonry; Masonry spire; Nonlinear material; Salisbury Cathedral; Abaqus; Concrete damage plasticity; Finita elementmetoden; Gränsanalys; Makromodellering; Murverk; Murad tornspira; Icke-linjärt material; Katedralen i Salisbury;

   Abstract : Masonry spires are a typical part of church architecture. Since it is rare that masonry is used as a load-bearing material in the western world today, it is important to maintain and increase the knowledge of modelling masonry structures both from a maintenance point of view and to build new masonry structures.

5. 4. An early-stage energetic and environmental analysis for the new district of Jakobsgårdarna in Borlänge, Sweden

   University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Energiteknik

   Author : Filippo Pellegrino; [2020]
   Keywords : Building; District; Energy; Demand; LCA;

   Abstract : To achieve the aim of low carbon cities and zero energy districts, it is important to adapt the efficient technologies while maintaining the thermal comfort and sustainable environment. The new challenge in design and building new districts lies in a sustainable and smart way to minimize energy consumption and thus carbon emission. READ MORE

6. 5. Cross-comparison of Non-Linear Seismic Assessment Methods for Unreinforced Masonry Structures in Groningen

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Viktor Peterson; Zihao Wang; [2020]
   Keywords : Non-linear time-history analysis; non-linear pushover analysis; N2- method; equivalent frame model; continuum model; numerical seismic assessment; unreinforced masonry buildings iv;

   Abstract : A large amount of low-rise unreinforced masonry structures (URM) can be foundin Groningen, the Netherlands. More and more induced earthquakes with shortduration have been detected in this region due to gas exploitation. READ MORE
