  2. 21. Shear walls with double plasterboards : evalutation of design models

    Author : Tomas Filipsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Steel Structures; Stålbyggnad;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a part of the ECSC-project Development of dry composite construction systems based on steel in residential application that focus on design recommendations for stabilizing buildings by using shear resistance in the walls. The existing design method suggested and used by the Swedish plasterboard manufacturer Gyproc AB is considered as a bit conservative and it does not consider double plasterboards properly. READ MORE

  4. 22. Modelling of Traffic Loads on Bridges Based on Measurements of Real Traffic Loads in Sweden

    Author : Fredrik Carlsson; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; heavy vehicles; traffic intensity; Peaks Over Thresholds; axle and bogie pressure; traffic load effects; probability based classification; Technological sciences; Teknik;

    Abstract : This thesis treats traffic load effects in road bridges and in particular bending moment and shear force in different types of bridges. All traffic load effects are described in terms of statistical distribution functions for annual extreme values. READ MORE

  5. 23. Industrial Fibre Concrete Floors : Experiences and Tests on Pile-Supported Slab

    Author : Jerry Hedebratt; Johan Silfwerbrand; Terje Kanstad; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Pile supported floor slabs have often been designed solely in ultimate limit state ULS and then foremost with uniformly distributed loadings UDL. The investigation of serviceability limit state SLS has been of simpler nature, even according to the governing codes of practice. READ MORE

  6. 24. Energy Efficiency in Shopping Malls : Some Aspects Based on a Case Study

    Author : Sofia Stensson; Jan-Olof Dalenbäck; Per Fahlén; Monica Axell; Jeffrey Spitler; Sweden Chalmers University of Technology; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Shopping mall; energy use; energy efficiency; HVAC system; load patterns; case study; regulatory requirements; building code; and energy declarations;

    Abstract : The building sector accounts for approximately 40 percent of our energy use. To reach existing environmental targets energy use will have to be reduced in all building types. At the European level, the main legislative instrument for improving the energy efficiency of the building stock is the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). READ MORE

  7. 25. Environmental Assessment of Buildings and the influence on architectural design

    Author : Marita Wallhagen; Göran Finnveden; Mauritz Glaumann; Tove Malmqvist; Ole Jörgen Hanssen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; green building; sustainable building; environmental assessment; assessment tool; architectural design; CO2 Carbondioxide ; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

    Abstract : This licentiate thesis examines environmental assessment tools for buildings. This is done by investigating, analysing, comparing and testing how different environmental assessment tools measure the environmental performance of buildings and examining the consequences this may have on architectural design.
