  1. 16. Temporal evaluation of retention patch development : retention patches in Swedish forestry

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Noel Wieser; Per Schönning; [2022]
    Keywords : Retention forestry; Retention patch; Inland; Near coastal; Geographics information systems; Orthophotos; Västerbotten;

    Abstract : The demands on the world’s forests are increasing rapidly and the different interests are conflicting, often including goals of biodiversity and timber production. Forest management has since the 1990s included a scientifically validated measure known as retention forestry, to better balance conflicting goals of forest management. READ MORE

  3. 17. Structural strengthening and sustainability improvements of existing buildings – A case study

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Pardis Niknafs; [2022]
    Keywords : Building retrofit; structural strengthening; energy efficiency; environmental impact; integrated and sustainable intervention; cross-laminated timber; life cycle assessment;

    Abstract : In Sweden, a large share of residential buildings was built more than 50 years ago. Consequently, old materials, poor maintenance, and corrosion can affect the structural performance of these buildings. Additionally, these buildings do not meet the latest energy efficiency and Eurocode regulations. READ MORE

  4. 18. Glued connection for TCC slabs : Experimental and Numerical investigation

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Ervin Halilovic; Seid Lotinac; [2022]
    Keywords : TCC connection; Composite element; Adhesive connection; Silicone Adhesive; Polyurethane Adhesive; Slip modulus; Shear stress; Cohesive elements; Traction seperation law; Mullins effect; Hysteresis;

    Abstract : Timber-concrete composite (TCC) structures are becoming more popular in several industrial applications as an efficient method for optimizing the structural performance and the cost of construction as well as lowering the emissions of carbon dioxide. TCC floors are more sustainable than pure concrete floors and more resistant to vibrations and excessive deflections than pure wooden floors. READ MORE

  5. 19. Life cycle analysis and comparison of climate impact for two alternative floor systems for increased weight in high-rise timber buildings

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Nir Kedem; [2022]
    Keywords : Life cycle assessment; LCA; Anavitor; Environmental impact; Building materials; Timber; Concrete; Gravel; Adding weight system.;

    Abstract : The aim of this Master Thesis is to investigate and quantify the climate impact for two floor system alternatives for the Cederhusen project, that is the 8 floors timber-based buildings located at Sankt Eriksplan in Stockholm. The overall motivation for this study is the fact that the construction industry is a major contributor to the total amount of the global greenhouse gas emissions. READ MORE

  6. 20. How much better does a concrete building have to perform energy-wise to have the same CO2-impact as a timber building? : A Life Cycle Assessment study

    University essay from KTH/Hållbara byggnader

    Author : Pinar Dagistan; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to calculate the life cycle emission of a timber building and compare it to a concrete alternative. Furthermore, to investigate whether there is a chance that the total impact of the concrete model can be off-set completely by certain design strategies. READ MORE
