  1. 21. Life cycle assessment of the semidetached passive house "Röda lyktan" in northern Sweden : A comparison between the construction phase and the use phase

    University essay from Institutionen för teknik och hållbar utveckling

    Author : Michelle Svensson; [2013]
    Keywords : Passiv house; low energy house; LCA; life cycle assessment; insulation; rock wool mineral wool ; cellular plastic sheets polystyrene ; GWP; global warming potentials; CED; cumulative energy demand; USEtox; toxicity; Jämtland; Östersund; Passivhus; lågenergihus; LCA; livscykelanalys; isolering; stenull mineralull ; cellplast polystyren ; GWP; global uppvärmningspotential; CED; kumulativt energibehov; USEtox; toxicitet; Jämtland; Östersund;

    Abstract : This report is a life cycle assessment of a relatively newly built semidetached passive house/low energy house located in Östersund/Jämtland. The analysis concentrates on the building materials in the construction phase and the energy in the use phase for 50 years. READ MORE

  3. 22. Design of inter-component load-bearing connections in prefabricated single-family houses

    University essay from Institutionen för teknik, TEK

    Author : Julia Poggenburg; [2012]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : For the transfer of horizontal loads acting on a timber building the connections between the prefabricated timber elements play an important role. In this work the standard wall-to-substrate, wall-to-wall, wall-to-flooring/flooring-to-wall and roof-to-wall connections of three investigated timber building companies are analysed according to their force transmission capacities and applicability during the assembly process.

  4. 23. Design Method for Strut-Beam Connection in Hinged Frames

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik

    Author : Juan Cardenal; [2012]
    Keywords : ABAQUS; LEFM; failure modes; three-pin portal frames; shear stress; built-up haunches; framed joint; glulam; size effects; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Glulam is almost exclusively the chosen material of timber frame structures. Of those, three-hinged (three-pin) portal frames are incomparably the most common type. Being both statically determinate and stable against horizontal forces in its own plane offer both practical (basic constructive details) and economical benefits. READ MORE

  5. 24. Finite-Element Simulations of Glulam Beams with Natural Cracks

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Sektionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Sepehr Rahili Khorasani; [2012]
    Keywords : Glulam beams; Fracture mechanics; XFEM; Natural crack; ABAQUS; VCCT.;

    Abstract : Abstract: Modeling and simulation of natural cracks and its propagation for glulam beams in numerical method frame work have been studied in this thesis. The aim of this study was to find out the influence of formed cracks on the Glulam beam load-carrying capacity. READ MORE

  6. 25. Glued laminated timber space truss systems

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI)

    Author : Nicola Moggio; [2012]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Space structures are a leaf taken from Nature. Natural forms possess exceptional rigidity and use minimum materials to maximum structural advantage. To quote Makowski, "Natural forms act in the direction of minimum effort". Man has not been slow in copying these examples drawn from Nature. READ MORE
