1. A Study on the Mechanism of Plastic Shrinkage of Cement-Based Materials
Sammanfattning : The work presented in this thesis has been concentrated on describing the mechanism of plastic shrinkage and on developing a method of calculating the progress of plastic shrinkage. The origin of plastic shrinkage and plastic shrinkage induced cracks has been investigated by many researchers during the last four decades, but no generally accepted theory could be found in the literature.

2. Modelling of Mass and Heat Transport in Paper - Evaluation of Mechanisms and Shrinkage
Sammanfattning : In this work a one-dimensional model for the mass and heat transport in the thickness direction of paper has been developed. Solid-based coordinates were applied to simplify incorporation of shrinkage. Liquid diffusion, gas convection and vapour and air diffusion were incorporated as mass transport mechansims. LÄS MER
3. Shrinkage and Related Properties of Alkali-Activated Binders Based on High MgO Blast Furnace Slag
Sammanfattning : Concrete is the second most used material in the world just after water. A drawback is that it is mostly based on Portland cement, which has an extremely high carbon footprint reaching a staggering 900 kg/tonne. The carbon dioxide emissions related to the production of the Portland cement accounts for nearly 8 % of the global total. LÄS MER
4. Plastic Shrinkage Cracking in Concrete
Sammanfattning : Early-age (up to 24 hours after casting) cracking may become problematic in any concrete structure. It can damage the aesthetics of the concrete member and decrease the durability and serviceability by facilitating the ingress of harmful material. LÄS MER
5. Modelling of the pyrolysis of large wood particles
Sammanfattning : Wood is an interesting alternative to fossil fuels. It is CO2-neutral and widely available. However it is a difficult fuel to handle which features a low energy content. Thus technologies for wood thermal conversion need to be improved. LÄS MER
