  2. 1. Institutional complexity in Swedish built environment regulation : exploring the interface with industrialized house-building

    Author : Viking Anders; Lars Stehn; Paul Chan; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träbyggnad; Timber Structures;

    Abstract : The industrialized house-building movement has emerged as aresponse to recurring criticism of the construction sector. It seeks toemulate management practices prevalent in manufacturing industries,including the use of standardized work processes and building systems. READ MORE

  4. 2. Strengthening of timber structures with flax fibres

    Author : Alann Andre; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träbyggnad; Timber Structures;

    Abstract : The natural defects present in timber are the source of large variations in mechanical properties. This drawback has been partially counteracted with the use of Engineered Wood Products EWP (glulam, composite I-beam, parallel strand lumber, etc.) instead of solid wood. READ MORE

  5. 3. Structural Analysis of Deep Composite Box-Type Components with application to a proprietary stabilising timber wall element

    Author : Seyed Rasoul Atashipour; Per Johan Gustafsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träbyggnad; Timber Structures;

    Abstract : The stabilising wall element of the Trä8-system is a deep box-type beam/column element which is made of different types of timber composites including framing members of gluedlaminated timber (glulam) and sheathings of laminated veneer lumber (LVL). This element is used as a ―shear wall‖ in multi-storey buildings up to four storeys. READ MORE

  6. 4. Industrialised timber frame housing : managing customisation, change, and information

    Author : Max Bergström; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träbyggnad; Timber Structures;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis is to develop an increased understanding of industrialised timber frame housing (timber frame housing construction fully or partially conducted in a controlled environment utilising industrial processes and machinery). Of specific interest is how industrialised timber frame housing companies manage customisation, change, and information. READ MORE

  7. 5. An exploration of lean thinking for multi-storey timber housing construction: contemporary Swedish practices and future opportunities

    Author : Anders Björnfot; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träbyggnad; Timber Structures;

    Abstract : Construction is affected by a large amount of waste (up to 35% of production costs in Sweden) and adverse relationships which lead to low quality and profitability. In Sweden, industrialized construction is viewed as one solution to the issues of construction which has led to a number of development efforts. READ MORE
