  2. 21. Industrial Construction Methods for Cost-Effective and Sustainable Multi-Storey Buildings

    Author : Hanif Pourghazian; Folke Björk; Anne Landin; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik;

    Abstract : Reduction of the cost of construction is a constant goal for the building industry. One way of reducing the construction cost of buildings is to develop building technologies that will give increased productivity. Reduced construction time at the building-site and waste of materials and resources contribute to furtherreduction of the costs. READ MORE

  4. 22. Impact of moisture on long term performance of insulating products based on stone wool

    Author : Tomás Vrána; Folke Björk; Per Ingvar Sandberg; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mineral insulation; Stone wool; Material properties; Moisture transport; Heat transport; Test equipment; Moisture properties; Frost formation; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik;

    Abstract : Demands for energy have been increasing in the whole world. According to higher consumption, the price of energy rises yearly too. This evokes usage of insulating products in a wider range. READ MORE

  5. 23. Testing large samples of PCM in water calorimeter and PCM used in room applications by night-air cooling

    Author : Rickard Bellander; Ove Söderström; Gudni Jóhannesson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; phase-change material; PCM; water calorimeter; air heat exchanger; durability; thermal properties; heat capacity; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik;

    Abstract : The latent-heat-storage capacity in Phase-Change Materials can be used for storing or releasing energy within a small temperature interval. Upon the phase transition taking place in a narrow temperature span, the material takes up or releases more energy compared to sensible heat storage. READ MORE

  6. 24. Medieval Timber Roof Structures: Conceptual methods for investigation and evaluation of structural behaviour, with the horizontal thrust problem as an application

    Author : Carl Thelin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; conservation; thrust; medieval churches; preservation; structural behaviour; base of the roof; roof truss; roof structure; horizontal support; FEM;

    Abstract : The medieval timber roof structures hidden in the attics of many Swedish churches represent the advanced building technology of the time. They are an important cultural heritage, their being bearers of information from a period regarding which other direct sources of information are scarce. READ MORE

  7. 25. Traditional lime mortar and plaster : Reconstruction with emphasis on durability

    Author : Kristin Balksten; Tor Broström; Britt-Marie Steenari; Thorborg Konow von; Chalmers Tekniska Högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; lime plaster; lime mortar; masonry; craftsmanship; pore structure; frost resistance; historic mortar; Conservation HGO ; Kulturvård HGO ;

    Abstract : Lime mortar and plaster have been investigated with the aim to improve the knowledge on how to make them as durable as before the cement technology was developed. The background was the durability problems experienced for newly produced lime plaster on the medieval churches on the island of Gotland, Sweden. READ MORE
