2. 1. Management of Sustainability in Construction Works

   Author : Urban Persson; Byggproduktion; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; construction works; assessment model; sustainability; Management;

   Abstract : The present global environmental condition is a consequence of the increasing consumption of natural resources whose depletion exceeds what is physically possible to sustain in the long term. The construction sector is a considerable contributor to this resource depletion and sustainability is adopted in the form of the theory of ecological modernization. READ MORE

4. 2. The role of roads on hydrological response : Modeling and assessment for Swedish watersheds

   Author : Alireza Nickman; Per-Erik Jansson; Lars Rosen; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; GIS; Roads; Flooding; HEC-HMS; Sweden; Mark- och vattenteknik; Land and Water Resources Engineering;

   Abstract : Understanding the role of road networks in alteration of hydrological responses is crucial for maintaining the accessibility and durability of road infrastructures. Road construction is one of the most common man made disturbances to a landscape. READ MORE

5. 3. Simulation of rail traffic : Methods for timetable construction,delay modeling and infrastructure evaluation

   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Järnvägsgruppen - Kapacitet; Järnvägsgruppen - Kapacitet; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

   Abstract : This thesis covers applications and proposes methods for using simulation in a more effectiveway and also in a wider context than normally used. One of the proposed methods deals withdelay modeling that can be used in a calibration process. READ MORE

6. 4. Between Daring and Deliberating : 3G as a Sustainability Issue in Swedish Spatial Planning

   Author : Stefan Larsson; Rättssociologiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; 3G; UMTS; spatial planning; sociology of law; sustainability issues; sustainable development; public participation; infrastructure development; the precautionary principle; fear of radiation; strategic decision-making; sociology of law; sustainable development; infrastructure development; strategic decision-making; fear of radiation; public participation; the precautionary principle; spatial planning; sustainability issues; UMTS; 3G;

   Abstract : The thesis shows how different aspects of sustainable development have been handled or not handled in the third generation infrastructure development in Sweden. The difference between the design of the 3G development – emphazising competition, growth and regional access, based on a strong technological optimism - and the implementation, as the roll out struck the landscape, including the non-handled radiation issue and the legal changes in order to facilitate the roll out, is discussed and analyzed.

7. 5. Industrial Application of Sulfur Concrete An Environment-friendly Construction Material

   Author : Amon Raphael Makenya; KTH; []
   Keywords : Sulfur binder; Chempruf modifyer; Sulfur Concrete SC ; Durability; SC market survey; SC Applications; Environment.;

   Abstract : Sulfur Concrete (SC) is a thermoplastic constructionmaterial, of mineral aggregates and modified sulfur as binder.Elemental sulfur has now a low smelting point (120oC) and appears in two solid allotropic forms,separated by considerable contraction. Hence, the need formodification to delay the transition. READ MORE
