1. On Sahelian-Sudan rainfall and its moisture sources
Sammanfattning : The African Sahel is one of the most vulnerable regions to climate variability at different time scales. It is an arid to semi-arid region with limited water resources. The summer rainfall is one of these sources, but it exhibits pronounced interannual variability. This thesis presents several aspects of Sahelian Sudan rainfall. LÄS MER
2. Evaluating energy efficient buildings : Energy- and moisture performance considering future climate change
Sammanfattning : One of the greatest challenges the world is facing is climate change. The need of reduction of energy use and an increased use of renewable energy in buildings constitutes important climate change mitigation measures. LÄS MER
3. Micro-mechanical mechanisms for deformation in polymer-material structures
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, the focus has been on micro-mechanical mechanisms in polymer-based materials and structures. The first part of the thesis treats length-scale effects on polymer materials. Experiments have showed that the smaller the specimen, the stronger is the material. LÄS MER
4. Characteristics of wood plastic composites based on modified wood : Moisture properties, biological performance and micromorphology
Sammanfattning : Biobased materials made from renewable resources, such as wood, play an important role in the sustainable development of society. One main challenge of biobased building materials is their inherent moisture sensitivity, a major cause for fungal decay, mold growth and dimensional instability, resulting in decreased service life as well as costly maintenance.

5. Ventilerad luftspalt i yttervägg : luftomsättningar och konvektiv fukttransport
Sammanfattning : Allvarliga fuktproblem i ytterväggar med regelstomme av trä och fasadskikt av puts på isolering har under senare delen av 2000-talet konstaterats i Sverige. Ett alternativ byggsätt för den putsade fasaden är att putsa mot ett skivunderlag som sitter monterat mot läkt så att en luftspalt bildas. LÄS MER
