1. 21. Structural design of high-rise buildings

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

   Author : Erik Hallebrand; Wilhelm Jakobsson; [2016]
   Keywords : High-rise buildings; resonance frequencies; accelerations; shear flow; displacements; critical buckling load; finite element.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : High-rise buildings are exposed to both static and dynamic loads. Depending on the method used and how the structure is modelled in finite element software the results can vary. Some of the issues and modelling techniques, introduced below, are investigated in this Master’s thesis. READ MORE

4. 23. Architecture and Mobility : Insert Catchy Title Here

   University essay from KTH/Arkitektur

   Author : Filip Dans; [2015]
   Keywords : mobility ; customization ; parasitic ; housing ; crisis ; mobile ; custom ; Sollentuna ;

   Abstract : This project is a reaction towards the static nature of the built world, and seeks to empower the end-user in the housing market by developing a highly customizable non-load bearing prefabricated panel system that allows for people to design, build, own, change and move their own apartments. It then explores the potential for it to resolve the current housing situation - both as new construction and through parasitic means (inhabiting parking garages, industrial buildings, renovation projects) - and the dynamics of user-defined living within society as a whole.

   Keywords : Industrial construction; lean; continuous improvements; production; flow; productivity; Industriellt byggande; lean; ständiga förbättringar; produktion; flow; produktivitet;

   Abstract : Byggindustrin har länge tampats med en undermålig produktivitetsutveckling i förhållande till andra industrier och då speciellt processindustrin. Det har gjorts många försök att industrialisera byggandet för att dra nytta av standardiserade produkter och processer, i Sverige mest utmärkande under 60-talets miljonprogram vilket var kraftigt influerat av dåtidens rådande produktionsfilosofi - massproduktion.
