16. Föreställning och eftertanke : bilder och verbalt språk i tidiga skeden av designprocessen
Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates why verbal language is not sufficient to express the experience and desires of the users and how imagery can be combined with words in the early stages of the design task to make this process go smother. A communication tool has been elaborated from a set of experiments simulating the dialogue in the initial phase of the design process. LÄS MER
17. Evaluation of Splitting Capacity of Bottom Rails in Partially Anchored Timber Frame Shear Walls
Sammanfattning : The horizontal stabilization of timber frame buildings is oftenprovided by shear walls. Plastic design methods can be used todetermine the load-carrying capacity of fully and partially anchoredshear walls. In order to use these methods, a ductile behaviour of thesheathing-to-framing joint must be ensured. LÄS MER
18. Industrialized construction - explorations of current practice and opportunities
Sammanfattning : Industrialized construction has over the years taken different expressions and gone through different phases depending on where inspiration has come from. In this project, industrialized construction has been studied in two applications: timber house manufacturing and renovation of multi-family houses. LÄS MER
19. Prestress and its application to shell, fabric, and cable net structures
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
20. Exploration and Optimization of Building Design Solutions using Computational Design
Sammanfattning : The focus of building design is increasingly moving towards considering performance as a driver, which can especially be seen in the realm of sustainable or green building design due to the advent of ambitious goals regarding energy consumption and emissions. Accounting for these concerns is an important target of the building design process, where there is a potential to make valuable contributions. LÄS MER
