The report includes description oftwo programs that have been developed for drawing reinforcement in AutoCAD and making reinforcements reports according to Swedish Standard. (Swedish).
Development of concrete formulation reinforced by non-corrosive fibres, to realise thin sections. The mechanical properties were tested in the goal to evaluate an idea of application, which is a prefabricated sandwich-element integrating thermic isolation for external walls.
A study of shear capacity in vertically reinforced masonry beams beeing exposed to a concentrated force. The aim of the design was to get shear failure and thus get information regarding the method of reinforcing. The vertically reinforced beams were compared to a reference beam made of common bricks. The method can be used to bridge larger openings in structural masonry walls.
The purpose is to investigate different ways of stabilizing high-rise buildings in Light-gauge steel framing and enhance the understanding for which design details that restrict the possibility of designing high-rise buildings. The work emphasize the force distribution in the stabilizing structure.
The purpose of the report is to investigate different elimate influences on the mechanical behaviour of wood, both theoretical and experimental. Here hygromechanical behaviour means shrinkage, elastic strain, creep and mechano-sorption. New laboratory equipment was designed and constructed for experiments where specimen were submerged in water. For the experimentsamples of Norwegian spruce (Picea
This study describes a method for measuring and evaluating intemal stresses in wood eaused by elimate variations. The aim of this work is to give elear experimental results of the stresses build up in wood perpendicular to the grain w hen exposed to multiple humidity cyeles. These results can be used by wood researchers in order to calibrate their theoretical models which describe the material beh
The porpuse of this thesis is to evlauate the utility of GrindoSonicMK5 instrumentstudying the modulus of elasticity in Norway Spruce and the factors affectting.
This master thesis purpose is to increase the understanding of how the diaphragm walls function. The interest have mainly been focused on how much movement between the inner and outer leaf one can permit A major interest have also been focused on how much interaction between the leafs one can expect.
The effects of four parameters on the cracking of a single leaf masomy facade were studied. The four parameters were, the properties between the masomy and the ground, the ratio between length and width, different values of Y o ungs modulus and the presence of windows and doors.The analysis was carried out in the FE-program Ansys. The present work also includes an experimental study ofthe shear be
The report includes descriptions of methods and programes that can be used to visualise buildings on a PC. These technics have been applied on a 3D-model of one of Volvos factories in Olofström, Sweden. (Swedish)
Concrete slabs were east on different ground materials to investigate frietian between the concrete and the ground. Frietian curves are non-linear and bilinear approximations were used to simplify them. This study shows different methods to create the bilinear approximation. Coefficient of frietian depends upon the normal load and the ground materials.
The system effect of sheathed lumber systems is studied, taking into account the variation of strength within and between members. A computer model is constructed and the influence of different parameters on the system interaction is examined. Experimental tests of representative systems are performed in order to confirm the finite element model. (Swedish)
CmTent methods to design and test vibration of lightweight floor structures are reviewed and investigated. The review includes the relation between measured performance and human response to vibrations. Vibration tests are performed on a lightweight floor structure. The available calculation methods are evaluated against the results from these tests. (Swedish)
The former Swedish building code did not allow designs with wood structure higherthan two floors. In 1994 the code was shifted to a more function based code that approved multi- storey timber frame houses to be built. With the change of the code research started about timber frame buildingsand today the business have passed the pilot-stageand the commercial phase has just started. The Digital prod
Rapporten redovisar ett examensarbete vid avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik vid Lunds Tekniska Högskola. Utgångspunkten är att studera möjligheterna att genomföra en beräkning av de utmattande påkänningarna i en slakarmerad betongkonstruktion med hjälp av finita element-metoden.
This report concems the use of interactive distance leaming to spread the knowled ge among employees. Research ofknowledge management, communication using the Internet and pedagogic has been done to get a good understanding of interactive distance leaming. After this awareness an investigation of the Swedish market was done to identify representative systems for interactive distance learning today
A method of calculation is developed for a new type of lightweight crossbar. To prove the validity of the method it is verified with practical experiments. Data for the material used for input in the method is experimentally determined in most cases. A discussion concerning important problems when developing a new building system is included in the report. (The report is written in Swedish.)
The purpose of this report is to analyse principles for calculations of deflections the serviceability state. Methods made in the following three codes have been considered: the Swedish BKR 99, the European Eurocode 2 and the American ACI Building Code and Requirements of Reinforced Concrete. Deflections for short term as weil as for long term loading have been investigated. The analyse has been p
