    Author : Hanna Åhlund; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The different life cycle phases of a building account for different amounts of environmental impact. During the past years the operational energy use in the building and construction sector has been reduced whilst relative and absolute embodied impact has increased. READ MORE

  5. 4. Numerical and experimental study of light-frame shear walls

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Rajan Maharjan; Mohamad El Rachid; [2019]
    Keywords : wood; shear wall; FEM analysis; ABAQUS; experiment; stiffness; racking deformation;

    Abstract : In recent time, some of the construction processes of multi-storey timber buildings are achieved by using prefabricated volume modules since this method is very beneficial due to its high prefabrication level and the fast on-site assembly of the modules. The main structural component of these modules is a light-frame shear wall that stabilizes these modules from the effect of horizontal forces. READ MORE

  6. 5. Seeing, Building : Looking at the Existing, Making Tectonic Translations

    University essay from KTH/Arkitektur

    Author : Caroline Gynther; [2018]
    Keywords : Visby; post and plank building; timber frame building; log building; Burmeister; Atterdags;

    Abstract : To build is to add to the existing. Three existing wooden buildings in Visby, made in three different local techniques (a post and plank, a timber frame and a log construction) have been the starting point for what to build upon. After studying these techniques, new buildings have been added in line with the principals of the existing. READ MORE
