  1. 21. Insights into the burning behaviour of wood in the cone calorimeter

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Ellinor Sanned; [2022]
    Keywords : Wood combustion; fire test; cone calorimetry; heat release rate; char formation;

    Abstract : Climate change and its accompanying environmental issues have caused the building industry to use more environmentally friendly building materials. Wood have always been a buildingmaterial but due to the renewed interest in imparting sustainability and renewability, its usage has increased over the recent years. READ MORE

  3. 22. An investigation of the design of cylinderical steel tanks modelled according to EN14015 and according to the Eurocodes

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Yonas Gebre; [2022]
    Keywords : Keywords: Steel tank; Wind; Snow; FEM; Shell buckling; Non-linear analysis;

    Abstract : Abstract Storage tanks are above or below ground vessels for storing chemicals, petroleum and other liquid products. Above ground vertical cylindrical shells are typically thin walled structures prone to buckling and lose their stability especially when they are empty or have lower fluid level due to external loads.

  5. 24. Moment-resisting connections for glulam using birch plywood : An experimental study on both mechanical and adhesive connections

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Jonatan Ringaby; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of this study was to investigate the load-bearing capacity and stiffness of mechanical and adhesively bonded connections in timber structures with gusset plates made of birch plywood, as a preliminary study for potential future use in long-span timber structures which could reduce the environmental impact of the building sector by substituting steel with wood products in moment-resisting connections. Birch plywood was chosen for this study due to its high bending strength in comparison to plywood made of softwoods and its availability on the market. READ MORE
