  1. 1. Lateral Stabilization of CLT Buildings - Modelling approaches

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

    Author : Lina Holmqvist; Sanna Källman Gleisner; [2022]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an environmentally positive building material with high stiffness and load-bearing capacity. In combination with a low self-weight, CLT is a beneficial material to use for the load-bearing structure of high-rise buildings. READ MORE

  3. 2. Semi-Automatic calculation of the stability of shear walls in multi-storey buildings

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik

    Author : Erik Bolin; Emil Sjöstedt; [2022]
    Keywords : Horizontal stabilisation; Dynamo; Shear walls; Stability; Conceptual design phase; Visual programming; Openings in shear walls; Load distribution; Relative stiffness; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Performing horizontal stability analysis in the conceptual design phase is time consuming and adjustments in the geometry of the building require new time consuming calculations. Often buildings are modelled in 3D modelling software such as Revit and Tekla but the calculations are often performed in a separate software. READ MORE

  4. 3. Turbine Performance Analysis in Wake and Wake-Free Conditions Using Nacelle Mounted Lidar at a Wind Farm in Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Izabela Fijołek; [2022]
    Keywords : Sweden; wind power; onshore; lidar; wake effect; performance analysis; power curve;

    Abstract : The need for optimizing wind farms’ production and maximizing the profitability of projects necessitates power performance analysis. Nowadays, the use of remote sensing devices for this purpose becomes more and more popular due to many advantages this technology has over traditional met masts. READ MORE

  5. 4. Structural strengthening and sustainability improvements of existing buildings – A case study

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Pardis Niknafs; [2022]
    Keywords : Building retrofit; structural strengthening; energy efficiency; environmental impact; integrated and sustainable intervention; cross-laminated timber; life cycle assessment;

    Abstract : In Sweden, a large share of residential buildings was built more than 50 years ago. Consequently, old materials, poor maintenance, and corrosion can affect the structural performance of these buildings. Additionally, these buildings do not meet the latest energy efficiency and Eurocode regulations. READ MORE

  6. 5. Wind Power Development in Economical Forest in Lower Saxony, Germany - Mapping Challenges and Opportunities using a Constellation Analysis

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Esther Sophia Rust; [2022]
    Keywords : wind power; forest; Germany; local value; distributive justice; procedural justice; nature compatibility;

    Abstract : Forests provide ecosystem services, whereby near-natural forests offer mainly cultural as well as regulating services, and economical forests offer mainly provisional services. Even though wind resources above forests show a strong wind shear and veer as well as high turbulence intensity, the development of tall and low-wind-speed-adapted turbines led to the feasibility of wind power development in economical forests, adding a new land use.
