16. Thermal Crack Risk Estimation and Material Properties of Young Concrete
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents how to establish a theoretical model to predict risk of thermal cracking in young concrete when cast on ground or an arbitrary construction. The crack risk in young concrete is determined in two steps: 1) calculation of temperature distribution within newly cast concrete and adjacent structure; 2) calculation of stresses caused by thermal and moisture (due to self-desiccation, if drying shrinkage not included) changes in the analyzed structure.

18. Common spaces in assisted living for older persons. Aspects of usability from the residential and workplace perspectives
Sammanfattning : This thesis is about space. It assumes that space forms a necessary part of the structure of existence. The architectural space becomes an existential space in the encounter with the user. Common unit spaces in assisted living (AL) for older persons are the principal venue for social interaction and have no parallel in ordinary housing. LÄS MER
19. Sustainability and Flexural Behaviour of Textile Reinforced Concrete
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.

20. Integrated Measurement and Assessment of Performance in Large Organizations: The Case of a Swedish Construction Company
Sammanfattning : The construction industry has been criticised in several public investigations during the last few years because of lack of competition and resistance to change. Unlike other industries the production costs within the construction industry are increasing and lately, foreign contractors have made their entrance to the Swedish construction market. LÄS MER
