1. 16. Geotechnical Aspects of Buildings on Expansive Soils in Kibaha, Tanzania

   Författare :Charles Lucian; Staffan Hintze; Sven Knutsson; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Expansive soils; soil properties; potential swell; smectite montmorillonite ; multivariate statistics; geo-statistics; spatial variability; lightweight structures; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

   Sammanfattning :  The focus of this study is on potential damages to buildings resulting from expansive soils in Tanzania, particularly clay soils in Kibaha. For the fact that most of the affected structures are founded on expansive soils, a clear understanding of the behaviour of soils and their interaction with structures has been of interest to the study in order to evaluate properly the source of the problem.

3. 17. Energy use in multi-family dwellings : measurements and methods of analysis

   Författare :Hans Bagge; Avdelningen för Byggnadsfysik; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; energy use; multi-family dwellings; district heating; space heating; domestic hot water heating; common electricity; household electricity; solar heat gains.;

   Sammanfattning : In 2001, multi-family dwellings were built at nine properties in Västra hamnen, Malmö, Sweden. Several well known Swedish architects were involved in designing the buildings, hence they reflect modern architecture. Prior to the inauguration, the buildings were displayed at the international housing exhibition Bo01. LÄS MER
