21. 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 BrandteknikAbstract : 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

22. Utilisation of hardwood in cross-laminated timber - A numerical study on vibrations in floors
University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaperAbstract : Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product consisting of several layers of laminations bonded together with adhesives. In contrast to heavier construction materials, timber and other lightweight building materials are more prone to serviceability issues due to vibrations. READ MORE

23. A Hybrid Building in Concrete and Wood
University essay from KTH/ArkitekturAbstract : The estimated lifespan of a building today is only 50 years. They are often designed down to the minimum for a specific target group or one specific use. In many cases constructed with load-bearing walls that divide function-specified rooms, making conversion into any other form of function impossible. READ MORE

25. Axially loaded screw joints in wooden structures exposed to fire : Fire tests in furnace and numerical calculations in TASEF of different screw mounting variations
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : To achieve sufficient stability of a structure in a fire scenario, a thorough design of joints in wooden structures are as important as the design of the construction itself. As an earlier study points out, there are no existing design method available to determine the load capacity of an axially loaded screw joint in wooden structures, which complicate the process of a thorough design of the joint in a fire scenario.
