  2. 1. Microclimate Load: Transformed Weather Observations for Use in Durable Building Design

    Author : Anneli Högberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; microclimate load; weather observations; natural degradation conditions; durable design; transformation;

    Abstract : This study investigates the microclimate load, i.e. conditions prevailing in the immediate atmospheric environment of a building, to establish the natural conditions of degradation for a building surface at a specific location. READ MORE

  4. 2. Compaction- and strength properties of stabilised and unstabilised fine-grained tills

    Author : Per Lindh; Byggnadsmekanik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; Compaction; Fine-grained tills; Strength; Civil engineering; Soil stabilisation modification; hydraulic engineering; soil mechanics; offshore technology; Material technology; Materiallära; materialteknik;

    Abstract : Fine-grained soils are often regarded as problematic soils in earthworks because of their water- and frost sensitivity. Only limited amounts of fine-grained tills are used as earthwork material today. READ MORE

  5. 3. Combination of heating and preservative impregnation of wood for outdoor exposure

    Author : Ekaterina Sidorova; Magdalena Kutnik; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wood Physics; Träfysik;

    Abstract : The research is presented as a composite thesis containing a theoretical explanatory review based on four scientific articles. The thesis covers the investigation of wood modification methods, which in the future could possibly be developed further to enhance the performance of wood products in an efficient and economical way.

  6. 4. Mesoscale Simulations of Atmospheric Flow in Complex Terrain

    Author : Matthias Mohr; Sergej Zilitinkevich; Leif Enger; Dieter P. Eppel; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Meteorology; Mesoscale modeling; Flow in complex terrain; Atmospheric dispersion; Model comparison; Boundary conditions; Numerical modeling; Atmospheric pressure; Gravity waves; Meteorologi; Meteorology; Meteorologi; Meteorology; meteorologi;

    Abstract : The MIUU mesoscale model was further developed, in order to include information on large-scale atmospheric fields from global or regional atmospheric climate- and weather-prediction models. For this purpose, a new lateral boundary condition was developed and implemented into the model. READ MORE

  7. 5. Traffic and Road Sign Recognition

    Author : Hasan Fleyeh; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Keywords : Traffic signs; color segmentation; recognition;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a system to recognise and classify road and traffic signs for the purpose of developing an inventory of them which could assist the highway engineers’ tasks of updating and maintaining them. It uses images taken by a camera from a moving vehicle. READ MORE
