6. Utilization of Rubber and Plastic Waste as A Partial Replacement of Aggregate for Improved Sound Insulation
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Arkitektur och vattenAbstract : Globally, billions of tons of rubber and plastic waste are produced annually, and because these wastes degrade so slowly (about 450 years for plastic bottles and 80 years for tire rubbers), they are extremely difficult to dispose of. As a result, utilizing these wastes directly in building materials can significantly reduce the environmental load while also increasing the sustainability of the building material. READ MORE

7. Determination of thermal conductivity for mastic asphalt by combining previously performed laboratory work and TASEF
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brandAbstract : Mastic asphalt is a material which in Sweden mainly is used as coating for bridges, parking decks, courtyards and terraces. Mastic asphalt is a material built-up by a combination of bitumen (a type of binder), well-graded aggregate (consists of both coarse and fine ballast), filler, sand and sometimes also fine graded macadam.

9. Cracking in a slender concrete slab due to thermal variation
University essay from KTH/BetongbyggnadAbstract : Concrete slabs used in thepulp and paper industries are often situated outdoors, which means that theslabs are exposed to temperature variations due to different weatherconditions. These temperature variations together with operational temperaturesassociated with the manufacturing process, may introduce high temperaturegradients in the concrete. READ MORE

10. Basic Creep of Young Concrete - Sensitivity in the Evaluation Method
University essay from KTH/BetongbyggnadAbstract : Creep is defined as deformation that takes place under constant load after an initial elastic response. This thesis focuses on a material property problem area that concerns stress analysis. Focus is on stress development considering creep deformations occurring when a concrete structure is under load, i.e. READ MORE
