  1. 1. Phase Change Material : Potential for increased fire resistance in concrete

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

    Author : William Toivanen; [2023]
    Keywords : Phase change material; concrete; fire resistance; integration into building materials; latent heat; melting;

    Abstract : The European commission has in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive from 2010 decided that its member states were required to ensure that all new buildings by the end of 2020 were nearly zero-energy buildings. These buildings require small amounts of energy compared to its performance in example by keeping a pleasant indoor climate. READ MORE

  3. 2. The Effect on Mechanical Properties in Biochar Replaced Cement & Aggregate in Concrete Before and After Fire Exposure

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

    Author : Felix Hansen; Mathias Berglund; [2023]
    Keywords : Biochar; Concrete; Sintering; Fire; Mechanical properties; Sustainability; Cement; Biochar in concrete; Building industry; Concrete exposed to fire.; Biokol; Betong; Sintring; Eld; Mekaniska egenskaper; Hållbarhet; Cement; Biokol i betong; Byggindustri; Brandexponerad betong.;

    Abstract : Concrete is good as a construction material regarding fire and its properties regarding strength. However, the concrete expands and cracks due to fire resulting in structural damage. According to the literature the concrete usually loses its strength during and after fire exposure due to themechanical and physical changes. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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 Brandteknik

    Author : Wickramasooriyage Devmini Kularatne; [2022]
    Keywords : Oriented strand board; thermal decomposition; mechanical degradation; heat transfer modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : 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

  5. 4. The effect of high-ratio biochar replacement in concrete on performance properties : Experimental study of biochar addition to concrete mixture.

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand
