  1. 1. Design for Disassembly and Reuse : Developing an Indicator System for Volumetric Timber Structures Based on Case Studies

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Träteknik

    Author : Sara Khanalizadehtaromi; [2023]
    Keywords : design for deconstruction; design for disassembly; timber construction; disassembly; circular economy; sustainability; volumetric timber structures; structures; DfD; Reuse; Indicator system;

    Abstract : The environmental impacts of the construction industry, and the built environment, as the end product of construction activity, are massive due to the extensive use of energy and resources. Sustainability and circular economy are recognized as the main solution to the existing environmental impacts of this industry and the main approach to the sustainable development of it. READ MORE

  3. 2. Life cycle assessment of timber high-rise building structures : Case study of a project examined in the context of French environmental regulation (RE2020)

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Corentin Le Gall; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The damages that the building sector does to the environment can no longer be ignored and need to be approached with a life cycle assessment (LCA). Advantages to build in wood and to build dense cities lead to a potential “two birds in one stone” effect regarding high-rise massive timber construction. READ MORE

  4. 3. Catenary action to prevent progressive collapse in multistorey timber buildings : An experimental study of tube joints

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Träteknik; Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik, maskin- och materialteknik
