1. 21. Exploring feedstock supply chain for large scale manufacturing of recycled cellulosic textile fiber : A collaborative business model analysis

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och industriell teknik

   Author : SM Toufiqur Rahman; [2022]
   Keywords : Post-industrial textile waste; Textile Upcycling; Supply Chain Management; Collaborative Business Model; Feedstock sourcing; Sourcing; recycled cellulosic pulp; large scale textile recycling; chemical recycling of textiles.;

   Abstract : The textile industry is considered one of the most challenging industries when it comes to environmental pollution just after the oil industry. It has a huge impact on water pollution and resource consumption in terms of fiber production. READ MORE

3. 22. Life cycle assessment of hybrid systems for rural electrification in Bolivia

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Sandu Seres; [2021]
   Keywords : Diesel; Stirling; Photovoltaic; impact category;

   Abstract : Bolivia is a developing country in South America. Many rural communities still lack access to electricity. The extension of the National Grid System to all rural communities is not feasible due to economic and topographic challenges as well as the environmental problems that may arise. To tackle these problems, Off-grid solutions are implemented. READ MORE

4. 23. Statistical analysis of firefighting and damage caused by fire in mid-rise timber-framed residential buildings compared to other construction types

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Thomas Berg; [2021]
   Keywords : Statistical analysis; timber-framed; residential; firefighting; damage caused by fire; PRONTO; NFID; linear regression; summary statistics; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The contribution of greenhouse gas emissions in the production of construction materials has sparked a new interest and recent changes in building regulations regarding the use of renewables like wood as the main component in load-bearing elements. Recent regulation changes focus on allowing taller timber structures which bides the question of how to adequately maintain an acceptable level of fire protection considering the characteristically flammable properties of wood-based products.

6. 25. FE modeling of glulam beams with mechanical slotted-in steel plate connections.

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

   Author : Musaab Mahjoub; [2021]
   Keywords : Timber joints; Slotted-in steel plate connections; Python scripting; FEM; Abaqus.;

   Abstract : The mechanical behavior of timber beams with a slotted-in steel plate connection is studied by creating a numerical model that is able to simulate the global bending behavior, the global load carrying capacity and the nonlinear plastic fastener force distribution in the connection. Experimental results from Material Testing Institute (MPA), University of Stuttgart were used to verify the simulation results from this study. READ MORE
