21. Embedment Behavior of Steel Dowel in Timber Loaded Perpendicular to the Grain : Influence of Assembly History in Combination with Moisture Change and Cyclic Loading
University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)Abstract : The embedment behavior of dowels in timber structures, as an essential parameter in the design of connections, is the subject of this thesis. There are numerous advantages using timber structures, including sustainability, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal. READ MORE

22. Status and Risk Assessment as Decision Support for Energy Efficiency Measures in Historical Buildings; Testing and Development of the ‘3B’ Method
University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för kulturvårdAbstract : Within the Swedish research and development programme on energy efficiency in historic buildings, one project is developing a transdisciplinary method for assessing building status and intervention risks as a means of providing decision support for the selection of measures. The method, here tentatively referred to as the ‘3B’ method, fuses the disciplines of Building conservation, Building physics and Building biology into a holistic approach. READ MORE

23. Reducing the environmental impact of new neighbourhoods during early planning stages using life cycle analysis (LCA) : Towards effective decision support tools for settlements projects
University essay from KTH/ByggvetenskapAbstract : Since the first warnings on the limits of planet Earth, 50 years ago, policies havenot been sufficient and fast enough to create a more sustainable world, which is todayillustrated by climate change, an increase in resource scarcity, and tremendousbiodiversity loss. Cities have been playing an important role in those environmentalconsequences, today accounting for 60% of greenhouse gases. READ MORE

24. Experimental and computational analysis of the thermal degradation and the loss of strength of engineered wood-based panels
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för BrandteknikAbstract : The current trends in the construction industry push toward materials that are more sustainable and environmentally friendlier than more traditional building materials such as concrete and steel. Timber and timber composites are one of the most popular materials on this list, due to both their mechanical strength and pleasant aesthetics. READ MORE

25. Strain Rate Characterization of Packaging Materials
University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell ProduktionAbstract : This master thesis firstly introduced the basic knowledge of packaging materials through a literature survey focused on exploring the effect of strain-rate on mechanical properties of paperboard materials. By means of tensile tests and microscopic observation, the changes of mechanical properties such as yield strength, strain and Young's modulus of the two different paperboards used in laminated packaging materials for the two different package types Tetra Fino® Aspetic (TFA) and Tetra Brik® Aseptic (TBA) from Tetra Pak® were analyzed at strain rate ranging from 0.
