  1. 1. Sustainability and Flexural Behaviour of Textile Reinforced Concrete

    Författare :Natalie Williams Portal; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Life Cycle Assessment LCA ; sustainability; Textile Reinforced Concrete; TRC; facade elements; flexural behaviour; non-linear finite element analyses; structural tests;

    Sammanfattning : Concrete reinforced with conventional steel is one of the most commonly used building materials, yet it has historically shown disadvantages in terms of durability and vulnerability to corrosion attack. Various remedial methods have been applied to overcome the shortcomings of this building material, such as increasing the concrete cover, which, however, leads to an increased self-weight of the structure.

  3. 2. Moisture Conditions in Exterior Wooden Walls and Timber During Production and Use

    Författare :Lars Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; laboratory test; MRD-index; moisture; driving rain; hysteresis; wood; precipitation; timber; weather barrier; mould growth; façade; wall; wind barrier; measurement; field test; mold;

    Sammanfattning : Thermal insulation of building envelopes has improved over the years. This means that building envelope have become more susceptible to defects, with an increased risk of moisture damage. The criteria for energy consumption have become more rigorous, but the shift should not lead to moisture problems. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Fires in Narrow Construction Cavities : Fire Dynamics and Material Fire Performance

    Författare :Karlis Livkiss; Avdelningen för Brandteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fire; Ventilated façade; flame height; Stone wool; expanded polystyrene; Fire Dynamics Simulator FDS ;

    Sammanfattning : There have recently been devastating fire incidents related to fire spread over ventilated façades. These incidents indicate gaps in our understanding of the fire behaviour of façades. This thesis takes a bottom-up approach to investigating fire behaviour in materials and elements associated with narrow cavities in modern constructions. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Product model based design of precast facades

    Författare :Vesa Karhu; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : In Finland, approximately 80 % of the facades of buildingsare manufactured as precast units. Currently one of theobstacles to making the overall design and construction ofprecast building facades more efficient is the inefficientexchange of data about facades between architects, structuralengineers and precast element manufacturers.

  7. 5. Arkitektur och motstånd : Om sökandet efter alternativ i svensk arkitektur 1970-1980

    Författare :Christina Pech; Johan Mårtelius; Fredrik Nilsson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Architecture; architectural history; architectural debate; Swedish 20th century architecture; 1970s; functionalism; post-modernism; historiography; mannerism; critical regionalism; Per G. Råberg; ARARAT; Etnografiska museet;

    Sammanfattning : At the onset of the 1970s Swedish architecture showed noticeable signs of crisis, with failing confidence in architects and a general distrust in the future of architecture. Functionalism, the dominating architectural paradigm, was the root of the situation and the centre of contemporary debate. LÄS MER
