  2. 1. Fires in Narrow Construction Cavities : Fire Dynamics and Material Fire Performance

    Author : Karlis Livkiss; Avdelningen för Brandteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fire; Ventilated façade; flame height; Stone wool; expanded polystyrene; Fire Dynamics Simulator FDS ;

    Abstract : There have recently been devastating fire incidents related to fire spread over ventilated façades. These incidents indicate gaps in our understanding of the fire behaviour of façades. This thesis takes a bottom-up approach to investigating fire behaviour in materials and elements associated with narrow cavities in modern constructions. READ MORE

  4. 2. Driving rain tightness, intrusion rates and phenomenology of leakages in defects of façades: A new calculation algorithm

    Author : Lars Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; façade details; rain resistance; window-wall interface; EN 12865; protrusion; deficiency; catch area; water flow; obstacle; fenestration; dam; driving rain; water leakage; leakage flow; hole;

    Abstract : This thesis presents the driving rain tightness of façades with façade details as well as the water leakage flows that can be expected. Furthermore, it describes the key mechanisms for water leakage in defects in the outermost layer of external walls. READ MORE

  5. 3. Rendered rainscreen walls - cavity ventilation, ventilation drying and moisture-induced cladding deformation

    Author : Jörgen Falk; Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Over the past five years, moisture damages in external walls of wood frame structure and rendering on insulation as a cladding has been a widely debated subject which has received a lot of attention. In the light of this, the interest in an alternative construction method where rendering is applied on boards instead of insulation has increased. READ MORE
