  1. 1. Investigation of methods to analyse global stability of a reinforced concrete stabilising core

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Evelina Husak; Ellinor Persson; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Ensuring the structural stability of a building is an evident requirement for the building to be safe to use. This becomes a qualified task for a structural engineer. Ensuring stability has become especially important nowadays while stabilising elements often are kept to a minimum and tall buildings are common. READ MORE

  3. 2. Making the connection : Are post-tensioned CLT walls an economically sound option?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Byggteknik och byggd miljö

    Author : Jakob Mehlig; Elisabeth Wade; [2021]
    Keywords : CLT; post-tensioned; shear wall; pre-stressed; cost; connections; stability;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to compare the cost of post-tensioned connection systems with conventional connections for the transferal of uplift forces in CLT stabilising walls. The desire for taller timber buildings has increased over time, in part due to environmental aspects but also to meet demands from an urbanizing population. READ MORE

  4. 3. Swimming Pool on top of High-Rise Buildings : A comparison of different structural designs and positions of swimming pools

    University essay from KTH/Hållbara byggnader

    Author : ERVIN MUSINOVIC; MATHIAS CARLSSON; [2021]
    Keywords : High-Rise Buildings; Swimming Pools; FE-analysis; Tall Buildings; Concrete; Simulation; Eurocodes;

    Abstract : This thesis is about determining the risks of positioning swimming pools on top of high-rise buildings.Pursuing this determination, computational simulations of constructed structural models in a finiteelement model software called RFEM have been analyzed. READ MORE

  5. 4. Global stability of high-rise buildings on foundation on piles

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Husein Dhorajiwala; Agnieszka Owczarczyk; [2018]
    Keywords : High-rise buildings; Tall buildings; Buckling; Global Stability; Foundation; Straight piles; Inclined piles;

    Abstract : In Sweden as well as other countries the trend of building higher is more and more popular. The global stability of tall buildings is a very important aspect that has to be taken into account while designing. Foundation on piles, that is common in Sweden, reduces the global stability compared to foundation directly on bedrock. READ MORE

  6. 5. Analysis of Tripod shaped high rise building using Tubed Mega Frame structures

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Sujan Kumar Rimal; Levi Grennvall; [2017]
    Keywords : high-rise building; inclined; slanted; tubed mega frame; tripode; höghus; vinklad; lutande; tubed mega frame; trefot;

    Abstract : Most of the tall buildings that are built today have a straight and vertical shape, because vertical buildings are more stable and easily built than slanted ones. In the case of vertical building, bending moments in the base only exists from horizontal loads such as wind and seismic loads, but in slanted buildings there will also be bending moments from dead and live loads.
