1. 1. Experimental Governance : Capacity and legitimacy in local governments

   Författare :Erica Eneqvist; Andrew Karvonen; Hans Westlund; Kersti Karltorp; Annica Kronsell; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Experimental governance; legitimacy; municialities; democracy; organisational capacity; capacity-building; local government; public sector innovation; Urbana och regionala studier; Urban and Regional Studies;

   Sammanfattning : Contemporary planning and governance of cities involves practices of experiments and trials in urban experiments, collaborative platforms, and urban development projects with high ambitions for sustainability and innovative solutions. These practices of experimental governance can be seen as new policy instruments that include actors from all sectors of society in collective problem-solving. LÄS MER

3. 2. Modeling the effects of knots in Structural Timber

   Författare :Christina Foley; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Material technology; Byggnadsteknik; Building construction; three-dimensional fiber paradigm; fiber deviation; knots; annual growth layer; material matrix; knot bump; structural timber; load carrying capacity; Materiallära; critical knot; knot distance ratio; local principal material directions; stiffness; materialteknik;

   Sammanfattning : The main purpose of the pursued research is to increase knowledge of the effects of knots in structural timber so that characteristics of weaker timber may be determined and applied to improve current grading techniques. In the process, a three-dimensional fiber paradigm was established, which describes variations of local principle material axes in timber containing knots. LÄS MER

4. 3. On inelastic local flange buckling

   Författare :Mikael Möller; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik; Steel Structures; Stålbyggnad;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with inelastic local buckling of I-beam flanges made of steel. The main focus is on the theoretical description of the buckling process, and the influence of various parameters, e.g. the plastic modulus, yield plateau, yield stress etc. LÄS MER

5. 4. Culture and Capacity : Drought and Gender Differentiated Vulnerability of Rural Poor in Nicaragua, 1970-2010

   Författare :Lisa Segnestam; Ronny Pettersson; Yvonne Svanström; Malin Beckman; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Nicaragua; Gender; Vulnerability; Adaptive capacity; Drought; Economic History; ekonomisk historia;

   Sammanfattning : This dissertation interprets gender-differentiated vulnerability to drought within a rural community located in the dry zone, la zona seca, of Nicaragua, a region that has been identified by the government and NGO sector as suffering from prolonged and, since the 1970s, more frequent droughts.  A combination of gender, capitals, and vulnerability demonstrates the value in using a multidimensional perspective to look at the socioeconomic and cultural contexts that form the capacity individuals have had to reduce their long-term vulnerability to drought in Nicaragua.

7. 5. Strength and Moisture Aspects of Steel Timber Dowel Joints in Glulam Structures : An Experimental and Numerical Study

   Författare :Johan Sjödin; Erik Serrano; Per Johan Gustafsson; Växjö universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; constraint stresses; contact-free measurement; dowel-type joints; humidity variations; glu-lam beams; glulam structures; linear elastic fracture mechanics; moisture-induced stresses; numerical simulations; short term capacity.; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Joints are critical parts of timber structures, transmitting static and dynamic forces between structural members. The ultimate behavior of e.g. a building depends strongly on the structural configuration and the capacity of its joints. LÄS MER
