2. 1. An Approach Towards Sustainable Building

   Author : Navid Gohardani; Folke Björk; Kjartan Gudmundsson; Göran Lindahl; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Sustainability; Built environment; Sustainable renovation; High-efficient insulation materials; Sweden Green Building Council; Vacuum Insulation Panels VIP ; Decision making; GreenBuilding; Early stage; Stakeholders; A Concept for promotion of sustainable retrofitting and renovation in Early Stages ACES ; Early Stage Primary Energy Estimation Tool ESPEET ;

   Abstract : The motivation for development of energy efficiency and implementation of novel advanced materials applied in buildings can be traced to increasing energy costs in conjunction with an enhanced environmental awareness among people. This doctoral dissertation presents contributions towards sustainable building, where factors such as building technology, energy efficiency in buildings, workers' health issues during construction measures, and certain economic considerations for renovation of buildings have been considered.

4. 2. Structural health monitoring using modern sensor technology : long-term monitoring of the New Årsta Railway Bridge

   Author : Merit Enckell; Håkan Sundqvist; Daniele Inaudi; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Health Monitoring; bridges; sensory technology; fibre optics; concrete.; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik;

   Abstract : Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a helpful tool for engineers in order to control and verify the structural behaviour. SHM also guides the engineers and owners of structures in decision making concerning the maintenance, economy and safety of structures. READ MORE

5. 3. Improvement of Labour Performance and Productivity in Uganda´s Building Industry

   Author : Henry Mwanaki Alinaitwe; Byggproduktion; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; performance improvement; Labour productivity; building industry; Uganda;

   Abstract : Productivity of labour is particularly important especially in developing countries where most of the building work is still carried out on manual basis. Previous research has pointed out that productivity in the building industry is low and in some cases declining. READ MORE

6. 4. HEALTH AND SAFETY RISK MANAGEMENT ON BUILDING CONSTUCTION SITES IN TANZANIA: The Practice of Risk Assessment, Communication and Control

   Author : Sarah Phoya; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Risk control; and Process; Practice; Risk Management; Risk Communication; Health and safety risk; Construction Sites;

   Abstract : The construction industry is an important part of the economy in many countries and is often seen as a driver of economic growth especially in developing countries. Owing to its relatively labour intensive nature, construction works provide opportunities for employment for a wide range of people skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled. READ MORE

7. 5. A probabilistic approach to risk analysis : a comparison between undesirable indoor events and human sensitivity

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

   Abstract : The main objective of this thesis is to develop a probabilistic procedure similar to the one used in modern design codes for building structures. The purpose of the procedure is to estimate the risk of an unhealthy indoor environment to occur, i.e. READ MORE
