1. 1. Implementation of Level of Development for BIM Collaboration in Timber Building Subsystems Design: A Case Study of I-Joist Construction Elements

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

   Author : Isabell Gustafsson; [2024]
   Keywords : BIM; I-Joist; LOD; Level of Development; Timber Building Subsystems;

   Abstract : Due to time, cost, and environmental challenges, wood has become a more common building material even for more complex buildings. Implementing the concept of Level of Development (LOD) on timber structures could provide a tool for BIM collaboration that may save cost and time, and in the early stages mediate wood as an available building material.

3. 2. Flame retardant treated wood : An investigation into phytic acid and its ability to act as a flame retardant agent

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

   Author : Mattias Ström; Herman Paulusson; [2023]
   Keywords : Flame-retardant; Phytic acid; Wood;

   Abstract : Flame-retardant coatings have been serving their purpose since the romans ruled Europe. These products have been developed through the years, by mixing and synthetizing solutions, which have resulted in effective, although questionable, products due to their impact on the environment and our health.

4. 3. Evaluation of a computational method for natural fiber-reinforced plastics

   University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

   Author : Anna Lim; [2023]
   Keywords : PPNF; Composite material; fiber orientation; natural fiber; coupled analysis; PPNF; Kompositmaterial; fiberorientering; naturfiber; kopplad analys;

   Abstract : The importance of using natural fiber composites (NFCs) has been addressed as a substitution for synthetic fibers, such as glass and carbon fibers. This substitution contributes significantly to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with the environmental responsibilities of engineering industries. READ MORE

5. 4. Combustibility study of resin for warm magnet coils used at CERN

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Juan Carlos Lopez Santiago; [2023]
   Keywords : Epoxy resin; flammability; radiation; aging; cone calorimeter; micro combustion calorimeter; thermogravimetric analysis; lateral ignition and flame spread test; chemical composition of polymers; polymers; epoxy composite; polymer composite; failure of epoxy resins; magnetic coil; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : CERN is the world's largest particle physics laboratory, housing multiple accelerators that rely heavily on magnetic coils. These coils are integral to the generation of powerful magnetic fields essential for particle accelerator experiments, detectors, and other equipment. READ MORE

6. 5. Characterization of Compost from Reusable Industrial Streams: : physical, Nutrient, and Microbial Properties

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

   Author : Ellen Ek Moreau; [2023]
   Keywords : Spent mushroom compost; apple orchard waste; soil amendment; compost optimization; circular agriculture;

   Abstract : The increasing global population, combined with soil degradation, poses challenges to food security, and raises concerns about the excessive and long-term use of conventional fertilizers. Evaluating sustainable alternative by-products for their soil-improving properties could offer a potential solution, particularly for Swedish fruit producers who can tap into local waste streams as a circular source of plant nutrients.
