2. 1. In-plane tension behaviour of masonry

   Author : Miklos Molnar; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; restrained shrinkage; cracking; movement joints; Building construction; mortar joints; KstrMasonry; masonry; in-plane tension; Byggnadsteknik; murverk; sprickor; krympning; dilatationsfogar;

   Abstract : The main purpose of the present work is to increase knowledge of in-plane tension behav-iour of masonry and develop a model able to describe the impact of parameters influencing cracking caused by restrained shrinkage. In the process the mechanism of load transfer between units and mortar joints is described. READ MORE

4. 2. Prestress and its application to shell, fabric, and cable net structures

   Author : Alexander Sehlström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Geometric stiffness; Form finding; Conceptual design; Stress pattern; Engineering; Prestress; Architecture; Structuraldesign;

   Abstract : Prestressing and shells provide means to create material-efficient and well-functioning structures, as do their combination, offering opportunities for increased material efficiency within the built environment. Prestressing introduces stresses in an object to enhance its performance, and shells include concrete shells, masonry vaults, fabric structures, cable nets, and timber or steel gridshells.

5. 3. Wetting and drying of aerogel-based coating mortars in Swedish climates

   Author : Ali Naman Karim; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; runoff; Aerogel; retrofitting; coating mortar; wetting; drying; wind-driven rain; render;

   Abstract : Aerogel-based coating mortars (ACMs) have emerged as energy-efficient wall finishes with thermal conductivities of 30–50 mW/(m∙K). These coating mortars represent a promising alternative to traditional thermal insulation materials for retrofitting uninsulated building envelopes particularly in culturally significant structures.
