1. 1. Implementation of Level of Development for BIM Collaboration in Timber Building Subsystems Design: A Case Study of I-Joist Construction Elements

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

   Author : Isabell Gustafsson; [2024]
   Keywords : BIM; I-Joist; LOD; Level of Development; Timber Building Subsystems;

   Abstract : Due to time, cost, and environmental challenges, wood has become a more common building material even for more complex buildings. Implementing the concept of Level of Development (LOD) on timber structures could provide a tool for BIM collaboration that may save cost and time, and in the early stages mediate wood as an available building material.

3. 2. Climate and economic implications of structure and façade materials on a building's life cycle performance : A case study of a multi-family building in Sweden

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Byggteknik och byggd miljö

   Author : Maximilian Jatzkowski; [2023]
   Keywords : life cycle assessment; life cycle analysis; multi-family building; life cost analysis; facade; environmental analysis; livscykelanalys; miljöanalys; flerbostadshus; livskostnadsanalys; stomme; fasad;

   Abstract : This study has been conducted in cooperation with OBOS Kärnhem. The objective of the study is to assess environmental impacts from different structural and facade materials to find a configuration with the lowest impact, and to assess the economic implications of different structural and façade materials.

4. 3. Feasibility study of a high-rise CLT building in a seismic area with high wind loads : A finite element approach

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Inga Berglind Eggertsdóttir; Emelía Ósk Gunnarsdóttir; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Timber has been used as a construction material for thousands of years. However,the inventions of stronger materials and increased construction of taller buildings hasled to decreased use of wood products. READ MORE

5. 4. Safety and durability of CLT-balconies

   University essay from KTH/Hållbara byggnader; KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Kevin Passian; Timothy Toresten; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The growing popularity of cross-laminated timber (CLT) in the construction industryhas resulted in a demand for research focusing on the construction and design of CLTbalconies. This paper aims to address this need by presenting a CLT balcony design aswell as investigating its structural stability and moisture safety. READ MORE

6. 5. Life cycle assessment of timber high-rise building structures : Case study of a project examined in the context of French environmental regulation (RE2020)

   University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

   Author : Corentin Le Gall; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The damages that the building sector does to the environment can no longer be ignored and need to be approached with a life cycle assessment (LCA). Advantages to build in wood and to build dense cities lead to a potential “two birds in one stone” effect regarding high-rise massive timber construction. READ MORE
