  4. 2. Building Retrofit using Vacuum Insulation Panels: Hygrothermal Performance and Durability

    Author : Pär Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; laboratory; retrofitting; interior insulation; listed building; field study; exterior wall; brick wall; numerical simulation; wooden beam ends; measurement; vacuum insulation panel; transient plane heat source; exterior insulation;

    Abstract : Many old buildings have unsatisfactory thermal performance compared to the standards of today. One way to increase the thermal performance is to add thermal insulation to the building envelope. However, many old buildings are listed and considered to be valuable for historical and esthetic reasons. READ MORE

  5. 3. Atypical femoral fractures: Another brick in the wall : On aspects of healing, treatment strategies and surveillance

    Author : Hans Peter Bögl; Jörg Schilcher; Anna Fahlgren; Gösta Ullmark; Per Aspenberg; Björn Rosengren; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Atypical femoral fractures are stress fractures of the femoral subtrochanteric and diaphyseal region. It is a common notion that these fractures heal poorly, if at all. In this thesis we show that patients with atypical femoral fractures have a good capacity to generate bone and therefore heal fractures. READ MORE

  6. 4. Long-term performance of water repellants on rendered autoclaved aerated concrete

    Author : Hülya Kus; KTH; []
    Keywords : water repellants; renderings; autoclaved aerated concrete; surface treatments; long-term performance; degradation; natural weathering; artificial weathering; moisture monitoring;

    Abstract : Many failures of external walls made of porous buildingmaterials are caused by excessive moisture content,particularly after driving rain and under long duration ofmoist conditions. Lack of sufficient protection againstexposure conditions is one of the reasons for external wallsprematurely demonstrating failures, i.e. READ MORE

  7. 5. Wood fibre deformation in combined shear and compression

    Author : Federica De Magistris; Anders Eriksson; Ola Dahlblom; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Arcan; compression; density; energy; finite element analysis; Iosipescu; Picea abies; shear; wood; Cellulose and paper engineering; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik;

    Abstract : Mechanical pulping for producing pulps from softwood suitable for printing grade papers, like news, is a highly energy-intensive process consuming around 2000 kWh/t in electrical energy. Due to increasing energy costs and environmental issues there is a high demand for decreasing this energy consumption. READ MORE
