1. 21. Measurement Systems for Estimating Imposed Loads

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik

   Author : Cassandra Doggett; [2022]
   Keywords : strain gauge; potentiometer; measurement system; sensor; cross laminated timber; imposed load; live load; design standard; sustainability; CLT; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The construction sector stands for eleven percent of the carbon dioxide emissions in the world WorldGBC (2019). To minimize that impact, the construction sector must take a closer look at improving the sustainability of buildings. READ MORE

3. 22. 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

4. 23. System:Forest

   Abstract : What I have tried to do in this project is to come up with a system of building that gives the building and the materials within, a chance for a longer life. A system that does not only make it easier to change the layout on the inside, but also makes it easier to disassemble the entire structure with minimal damage to the materials and the surroundings.

5. 24. 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

6. 25. Statistical analysis of firefighting and damage caused by fire in mid-rise timber-framed residential buildings compared to other construction types

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Thomas Berg; [2021]
   Keywords : Statistical analysis; timber-framed; residential; firefighting; damage caused by fire; PRONTO; NFID; linear regression; summary statistics; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The contribution of greenhouse gas emissions in the production of construction materials has sparked a new interest and recent changes in building regulations regarding the use of renewables like wood as the main component in load-bearing elements. Recent regulation changes focus on allowing taller timber structures which bides the question of how to adequately maintain an acceptable level of fire protection considering the characteristically flammable properties of wood-based products.
