  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. Global Analysis of a Tall Timber- Concrete Hybrid Structure Subjected to Wind Load : A Parametric Study of Different Hybrid Solutions

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Clara Youssef; Meriam Basilious; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract :   Tall timber structures have received more attention in recent times as building withtimber contributes to environmental benefits in comparison to other building materials.Timber- concrete hybrid structures have become an alternative as previous investigationshave shown that building tall timber buildings implies complexities with regardsto sufficient stiffness and discomfort for occupants.

  4. 3. 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. 4. Modeling of moisture-induced deformations and stresses in cross-laminated timber and timber-concrete composite floors

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

    Author : Marcus Johansson; [2021]
    Keywords : abaqus; numerical modeling; moisture content; relative humidity; cross-laminated timber; timber-concrete composite; finite element; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Korslimmat trä är ett tämligen nytt material, bestående av korslagda lager av brädor. Produkten tillåter nya byggmetoder och kan ses som ett grönare alternativ till stål och betong. Dess uppbyggnad gör det mer robust och mindre beroende av träets varierande egenskaper för olika geometriska dimensioner. READ MORE

  6. 5. Balancing between environmental impact and vibroacoustic performance for lightweight buildings

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

    Author : Philip Carlsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Multi-storey buildings constructed in timber have become more common in recent years. A reason for this lies in the growing interest for sustainable building, where timber is seen as a particularly interesting alternative. READ MORE
