Abstract:

In the last decade, the use of cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels as load bearing elements have become a usual solution for buildings and structures with an upward trend internationally. This is because CLT has brilliant physical and mechanical properties and it is also an eco-friendly and renewable material. In addition, the prefabricated nature of the CLT panels in a controlled environment increases the overall building speed, reduces dramatically the erection time, and makes it an even more competitive structural material compared to more traditional ones like concrete and steel. Up until now, timber as a building material has mainly been used for roofs and pergolas in Greece. Concrete and steel have traditionally been the dominant building materials over the years. Timber is not such competitive mainly because there is not enough knowledge of abouttimber buildings. The fact that Greece is not a sawn timber producer affects this trend. Nowadays, the simple and cheap import of sawn timber, as well as the sensitiveness about the environment, are strong factors for introducing timber buildings to Greece. There is already a great demand for timber buildings, and an increase in the requests is expected.CLT panels are used in a wide spectrum of structural applications. They are used as structural components for houses, offices, multi-story buildings, schools, industrial halls, sports halls, and special structures [4]. Another innovative application of CLT is the renovation through vertical expansion with additional floors to existing buildings. This new and promising trend is becoming more and more frequent, especially in developing cities where there is a need for new houses in limited space. The low density of CLT and so the low overall weight of the additional structure, makes the CLT components a robust building solution for vertical renovation since there is usually no need for reinforcement of the foundations of the current building [15]. The aim of this study is to provide the author with the opportunity to deepen his knowledge regarding the special characteristics of CLT as a building material as well as to understand its mechanical properties and the theories which describe them. In addition, this study constitutes the first attempt at modeling and designing a timber structure made with CLT panels. Therefore, the knowledge gained about the special features in CLT modeling is a fundamental task. Finally, since the design of the CLT structure is based on the European design rules for buildings, the engagement with the appropriate Eurocodes, i.e. Eurocode 0, 1 & 5, is another critical task in this study. The structure under consideration is a two-story CLT structure which is a vertical expansion of a current composite (concrete-steel) building. The first additional floor will be used as an office area and the second one as a typical family house. Both additional floors are made of CLT elements and, where is necessary, glulam beams and columns are considered as reinforcement of the CLT panels and as supports, respectively. The design method includes finite element analysis (FEA) which is performed by the commercial structural softwareDLUBAL – RFEM [8]. In this study, the latter software is chosen for the design and the analysis of the structure since it is specialized software for timber structures made of CLT elements.

Resumo: Neste trabalho foram pesquisadas as melhores condições de cultivo e estocagem da amostra de Escherichia coli 86-6136 para a produção da Toxina Citoletal Distensora (CLDT), assim como o melhor método de extração e purificação para a caracterização parcial da toxina. Após o que, foi realizada a produção de anticorpos neutralizantes policlonais em coelhos albinos e a análise dos efeitos citopáticos e citotóxicos da CLDT em cultura de células. O melhor meio para cultivo da amostra 86-6136 encontrado foi o "Evans Toxin Medium", pois com este meio foi verificada a produção de CLDT em ensaios de atividade citotóxica em cultura de células, com efeito semelhante ao descrito em literatura. Os estudos de obtenção da toxina demonstraram que o método mais vantajoso para a extração era a ultrasonicação do sedimento bacteriano, pois dispendia menos tempo e havia boa recuperação da atividade citotóxica, quando comparado com os outros métodos empregados, além de existir ganho no rendimento de mais de 4 vezes em atividade específica e 2 vezes em citotoxicidade, quando comparado ao sobrenadante inicial. Após a extração, o material foi submetido a diversos processos cromatográficos (Deae-Sepharose Fast-Flow; CM-Sepharose Fast-Flow; Phenil Sepharose; Sepharose CL6B; Sepharose CL4B; Superdex 200). A cromatografia que teve mais relevância para melhorar o grau de pureza da amostra foi em Sepharose CL6B. A amostra, quando submetida a cromatografia nesta resina, mostrou padrão de eluição com 3 picos, sendo que a atividade biológica estava concentrada no primeiro pico. Em eletroforese com SDS-P AGE, o material contendo atividade biológica apresentou 3 bandas, com os pesos moleculares estimados em 38,8; 37,3 e 22,4 kDa. Não foram obtidos resultados em ensaios eletroforéticos em P AGE convencional. Os ensaios cromatográficos em Sepharose CL6B resultaram em aumento de 100 vezes na citotoxicidade da amostra, e 237 vezes em atividade relativa. Os ensaios em cromatografia líquida de alta performance (HPLC) em coluna Mono-Q não permitiram a recuperação da atividade citotóxica da toxina CLDT, e por isso foram abandonados. A atividade da toxina CLDT pôde ser observada em cultura de células Vero, HeLa e CHO. Apenas nas células CHO tanto o efeito citopático quanto o citotóxico foram observados. Em ensaios em células Vero e HeLa, o efeito de distensão celular não é evidente, e em células Vero, a viabilidade celular, ao final das 120 hrs de ensaio, é bem maior em relação às outras duas linhagens. A produção de anticorpo policlonal em coelhos albinos pôde ser verificada em teste de imunodifusão radial dupla, e sua capacidade neutralizante foi observada em ensaios de soroneutralização em cultura de células CHO. Os antissoros obtidos apresentaram atividade neutralizante do efeito citotóxico da toxina CLDT no título até 1/1024
Abstract: In this work, the best conditions of culture and stock methods of EscherichiQ coli 86-6136 strain for the production of citolethal distending toxin (CLDT), as well as its partial characterization, were studied. The production of polyclonal antibodies in rabbits and the study of citophatic and citotoxic effects of CLDT in culture cells was determined. The best growth medium found for CLDT production was Casaminoacid- Yeast Extract CA YE), as determined by biological activity assays in culture cells. The best method for CLDT extraction was sonic disruption of the bacterial cells. Higher yield of citotoxic activity was reached when compared to other methods, in addition to 4-fold increased specific activity and 2-fold citotoxicity, compared to the initial culture supernatant. After bacterial cells disruption, the supernatant was cromatographed on several columns (Deae-Sepharose Fast-Flow; CM-Sepharose Fast-Flow; Phenil-Sepharose; Sepharose CL6B; Sepharose CL4B; Superdex 200). The best method for increasingpurity was Sepharose CL6B. The material was separated in three peaks spectrophotometrically detected (absorbance 280 nm) among these the first one displayed biological activity. On SDS-PAGE, this material exhibited three bands whose M.W. were 38.8, 37.3 and 22.4 kDa. After cromatography on Sepharose CL6B, the material displayed increased citotoxicity and relative activity of 100 and 237-fold, respectively. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on Mono-Q column resulted in unrecoverable biological activity. The CLDT biological activity could be observed in Vero, ReLa and CRO cultured cells. Only in CRO, both citophatic and citotoxic effects could be observed. In Vero and HeLa cells the cellular progressive distention could not be observed and in Vero cells cellular viability was higher than in the other cells after 120 hr. Production of polyclonal antibodies was verified in Ouchterlony test and its neutralization capability was determined in seraneutralization tests in CHO cells. The sera obtained was shown to neutralize citotoxic activity of CLDT up to the 1/1024 dilution

Abstract:

Wood construction has increased in the recent years for apartment buildings consisting of four to five floors. Compared to other building materials, wood has great environmental benefits. For a building in a larger scale constructed in wood, cross-laminated timber, also known as CLT is an option. The technology for CLT originated in Sweden during the 1990s and since then the development has increased. CLT has excellent stiffness and strength properties. The design of a floor in CLT is important for how the building and the environment are perceived indoors. The wooden floor is about five times lighter than concrete, which means that measures are required to meet the sound requirements set by Boverkets building regulations in Sweden. This will affect the span. The aim of the project is to present a knowledge overview of CLT and for floor in CLT up to 9 meters in span, to compete with concrete floor in steel and prefabricated concrete frames. The study includes a quantitative methodology using three different data collection methods. These are literature study, document analysis and calculations. The literature study and the document analysis are based on scientific-and research articles, together with manuals. The calculations are carried out in Stora Enso's calculation program Calculatis by Stora Enso. The program follows Eurocode's design principles. The result of the study shows that a CLT-board with laminated beams gives greater span than just a CLT-board does. The calculation means that the plate must meet the deflection requirement L / 300. Research shows that construction with CLT is increasing and there is great potential to obtain a cost-effective reduction of the carbon footprint and at the same time improve the utilization of natural resources by replacing non-renewable building materials such as concrete and steel with CLT. In order to achieve the sound requirements that are established, the CLT floor must be dimensioned thicker and measures such as additional insulation. By looking at the results, the conclusion is drawn that CLT-floor may grow further to compete with concrete floor in the future. Currently the material is considered useful and environmental for smaller constructions for such as smaller houses, due to the sound insulation problem. For larger constructions with the similar problem can timber-concrete composite be an alternative. CLT-floor reinforced with glulam beams may be considered as a choice for larger and bigger constructions because the span widths increase, and the construction can withstand maximum deflection. The study is limited to mainly considering CLT but also a small amount of concrete and glulam. Vibrations and environmental risks such as moisture, sunlight and fire, are not considered. The calculations the work uses are based on Eurocode 5, dimensioning of wooden structures. Other types of design principles have been excluded.

Abstract:

In the light of today’s effort to achieve sustainable future of the planet, timber as building material makes a comeback on the construction market. Since the requirements on the buildings and the internal comfort increase, there is a need for finding new solutions and products; one of them is cross-laminated timber (CLT), which has the potential to be used for high-rise buildings due to its mechanical properties. The aim of this work was to study the vibration performance of CLT floors as it is often the governing factor in design of CLT structures unlike for other common building materials. The orthotropic mechanical properties of CLT were determined by the shear analogy method and verified with a finite element (FE) model of a simply supported beam compared to hand calculations of shear forces, bending moments and deflections. The properties based on Timoshenko’s approach were evaluated as less precise regarding the deflection. The non-composite structural behaviour of a steel-CLT hybrid floor structure was predicted for FE dynamic analysis based on a comparison between modelling exercise and hand calculations. Two different methods, the Concrete Society (SC) and Steel Construction Institution (SCI) methods, both seemed to be applicable for determination of the response factor first since the mechanical properties are not used as input in the calculations. These two methods differ in certain aspects, and based on FE analysis of simply supported slab even the resulting response factor for the CLT differs significantly. Moreover, the hand calculation results were similar to those of the FE analysis for the CS method, but in less agreement for the SCI method. Nevertheless, it is not recommended to reject the latter method based on this study and further studies should be performed on real structures with response factor known from on-site measurements. A part of the first floor of Canary Wharf College was modelled and analysed, and previous measurements of the frequency and response factors enabled a validation of some assumptions. The SCI approach showed to be inadequate for this type of structure and therefore only the CS method was applied further. Analysis of the floor structures supported by walls demonstrated similar results from both the measurements and the dynamic analysis. However, if the floor slab was supported by beams, the response factor was significantly overestimated although on the conservative side. This difference suggests that the modelling of such conditions are not satisfactory. The CS method appears to assess correctly the magnitude of the response factor for CLT floors supported by walls but overestimates it in case of beam supports. The first finding shall be confirmed through analysis of other structures and a more extensive research should focus on the latter one to determine more exact behaviour of the model under different conditions.

Abstract:

In this thesis, material properties for a CLT element have been examined with regard to the structure of theelement and its content of different types of wood. The focus has been on how Birch affects the properties,since its properties in shear are much better compared to the commonly used pine and spruce.Calculations have been made in python script within the Rhino 6 software and its Grasshopper plugin.Grasshopper basically works with coding but with a visual interface that is very user friendly. This programhas been used because of its parametric structure which makes changes in the structure very simple andthe whole model changes with the changes in parameters.The basis for the survey has been the following parameters:• Number of layers within the KL element• Widths of lamellae• Thicknesses of lamellae• Material properties of Birch, Pine and Spruce• Quotas between Birch, Pine and SpruceThe results show that the shear stiffness of the CLT-element increases with the amount of birch. The value ofthe G-moduli, however, does not only depend on the amount but the positioning as well. The shear stiffnessis the greatest when the birch is placed closest to the middle of the element.The conclusion made is that further investigation of the practical and economical aspects are required to makean informed decision about whether the use of birch or increased board width is the most efficient method ofimproving the shear stiffness of CLT.

Abstract:

During an earthquake, shear walls can experience damage around corners of doors and windows due to development of stress concentration. Reinforcements provided to minimize this damage are designed for forces that develop at these corners known as transfer forces. In this thesis, the focus is on understanding the forces that develop around opening corners in cross laminated timber (CLT) shear walls and reinforcement requirements for the same. In the literature, four different analytical models are commonly considered to determine the transfer force for design of wood-frame shear walls. These models have been reviewed in this thesis. The Diekmann model is found to be the most suitable analytical model to determine the transfer force around a window-type opening. Numerical models are developed in ANSYS to analyse the forces around opening corners in CLT shear walls. CLT shear walls with cut-out openings are analysed using a three-dimensional brick element model and a frame model. These models highlight the increase in shear and torsion around opening corners due to stress concentration. The coupled-panel construction practice for CLT shear walls with openings is analysed using a continuum model calibrated to experimental data. The analysis shows the increase in strength and stiffness of walls, when tie-rods are used as reinforcement. Analysis results also indicate that the tie-rods should be designed to behave linearly for optimum performance of the wall. Finally, a linear regression model is developed to determine the stiffness of a simply-supported CLT shear wall with a window-type opening. This model provides insight into the effect of various geometrical and material parameters on the stiffness of the wall. The process of model development has been explained, which can be improved further to include the behaviour of anchors.

Since 1998 in the Public Administration there are statutory workers ('estatutários') and others hired by the CLT labor regime ('celetistas'). Thisfact occurs due the Constitutional Amendment number 19 , formulated that year, which has changed the article 39 of Brazilian Constitution. It allowed public entities to hire employees under CLT legislation. This situation lasted until 2007 when the Supreme Court of Brazil suspended such modification and so the original understanding of the Constitution was reestablished. This work intends to evaluate the wage differential between statutory and CLT employees by means of an econometric approach. Using a fixed effectsregression we have analyzed the impact of the labor regime upon public workers wages and using the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition we quantified how much of such differential is due the labor regime and how much is due to the individual characteristics (education, tenure and others). There are evidences that CLT workers have in average wages R$ 310.00 lower than statutory. Controlling by occupation we also see a negative prize to CLT worker to all groups except by the High Skilled Workers that have a salary R$ 95.98 higher than the Statutory. Low Skilled Workers show the smallest differential (R$ 12.20) followed by Teachers and Researchers (R$ 85.27) and Technicians (R$ 97.11). The Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition shows that the largest part is not explained by endowments differences. The spending with wages and benefits to public employees is one of the main debates in the current scenario of fiscal adjustment facing the relevant increase of Public Debt in the last years. The Brazilian society has a perception that the Government has an excessive amount of workers and furthermore these onesreceive higher wages without a reasonable explanation when compared to similar occupations in private companies. At the end of 2017 the Brazilian Government presented an action plan to reduce the spending with wages and benefits of public employees. Among the proposals there were a decrease in the initial salary of public service and an increase in the public pension plan contribution.
Desde o ano de 1998 coexistem na Administração Direta, Autarquias e Fundações Públicas, funcionários públicos estatutários e 'celetistas'. Esta situação decorre da Emenda 19, a qual alterou o artigo 39 da Constituição e permitiu que estas entidades contratassem funcionários pela CLT. Essa situação perdurou até o ano de 2007, quando o Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF)suspendeu liminarmente (ADI 2135) a nova redação e dessa forma restaurou a situação original, válida atualmente. Este trabalho se propõe a medir a diferença no salário entre servidores públicos estatutários e celetistas por meio de uma abordagem econométrica. Utilizando uma regressão de efeitos fixos foi analisado o impacto do regime de trabalho sobre o salário dos servidores e por meio da decomposição de Oaxaca-Blinder estimou-se quanto desta diferença decorre do regime de trabalho e quanto se deve às características dos indivíduos de cada grupo (escolaridade, experiência e outros). Há indícios de que os celetistas recebem um salário R$ 310.00 menor do que seus pares estatutários. Controlando os efeitos de cada profissão há um diferencial negativo para todas os celetistas exceto para os profissionais de alta qualificação os quais possuem um salário R$ 95.98 maior do que os estatutários. Com relação aos outros grupos, os profissionais de baixa qualificação apresentam o menor diferencial de salários (R$ 12.20) seguido por professores e pesquisadores (R$ 85.27) e técnicos (R$ 97.11). Na decomposição do diferencial a maior parte não decorre de diferenças nas características dos indivíduos de cada grupo. O impacto dos salários e benefícios de funcionários públicos sobre as contas públicas é um dos principais pontos debatidos dentre as propostas que englobam o plano de ajuste fiscal do Governo Brasileiro. A percepção atual da sociedade é que além do governo contar com um contingente significativo de servidores públicos, estes recebem maiores salários quando comparados a trabalhadores em atividades semelhantes na iniciativa privada. Nesse contexto o governo federal apresentou no final de 2017 uma série de medidas para adequação dos gastos com folha de pagamento de servidores públicos, dentre elas a redução do salário inicial e elevação da contribuição previdenciária destes trabalhadores.

Abstract:

This investigation reports on a study that explores the views of students, teachers and parents about the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach in learning English as a second language in Bangladesh. This study focuses on the improvement of English language outcomes in Bangladesh. Though compulsory for fifteen years of schooling, public examination results indicate that students perform poorly in English. This research is conducted at the secondary schools in Bangladesh where English is compulsory because of its global nature as the second or foreign language. Mainstream students learning English using the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach are facing many challenges. The study employs a mixed methods approach which includes qualitative interviews, semi-structured focus group interviews and observations; and quantitative data involved achievement tests to find gaps between oral and written attainment, in order to determine the effectiveness of CLT developing language skills to communicate in and outside the classrooms. ESL learners in Bangladesh have been using CLT for nearly two decades, but the attainments are not satisfactory particularly in oral language (listening and speaking) compared to written language (reading and writing). Four schools (two high and two low achievement) were selected from two divisional cities according to the public examination results. Five students, all English subject teachers and five parents from each school were invited randomly to participate. Findings indicated a confirmation of the gap between oral and written language achievements and highlighted that CLT is not working effectively to develop communicative competence to the learners. The participants identified several factors causing this. Among these were large class sizes (number of students), an extensive curriculum, insufficient class time (duration), an inappropriate examination system, excessive teacher workload, lack of parent awareness of CLT, and negative relationships between home and school. All of these factors impact on the effectiveness of CLT in Bangladesh. All participants agreed that CLT as an approach is better than other approaches used in Bangladesh to develop English language learning, but the varied interpretation and implementation (practice) makes it less effective. Therefore, they suggested some issues for local and national level policy makers that could enhance the CLT practice in Bangladesh.

Abstract:

The goal of this study was to assess the potential of using hardwood lumber in CLT manufacturing. The goal was achieved by addressing four specific objectives. The first objective was to collect CLT manufacturers' perspectives for using hardwood lumber in the current manufacturing setup. The second objective was to determine hardwood sawmills' current ability to produce structural grade lumber (SGHL) from low value logs as a product mix through a survey of hardwood lumber producers in the US. The third objective was to conduct a log yield study of SGHL production from yellow poplar (YP) logs to produce 6'' and 8'' width SGHL to match the PRG 320 requirements. The fourth objective was to determine CLTs' production cost using SGHL and compared it with the CLTs manufactured from southern yellow pine (SYP). The results suggest that all three CLT industries visited and interviewed had sufficient technology to produce hardwood CLTs. The production of hardwood CLTs was mainly limited by the quality and quantity of lumber available. The hardwood sawmill survey results indicated that, currently, less than 10% of the sawmills had all the resources required to produce SGHL. The current ability of the sawmills was measured based on the resources necessary to begin SGHL production. Forty percent of the sawmills would require an investment in sawing technology to saw SGHL, 70% would require employing a certified lumber grader, and 80% would require a planer to surface lumber. Another significant finding was the sawmills' willingness to collaborate with other sawmills and lumber manufacturers. More than 50% of sawmills were open to potential collaboration with other stakeholders if necessary, which is crucial to commercializing SGHL for a new market. The log yield study of yellow poplar helped demonstrate that the mixed grade lumber production method to convert lumber from lower quality zones as SGHL yields higher lumber volume for sawmills and at the same time reduces lower-grade lumber volume. On average, SGHL production increased lumber volume by more than 6% compared to only NHLA grade lumber production when 65% of the lumber was converted to SGHL. The volume of lower lumber grades from 2 common and below decreased from an average of 85% to less than 30% when producing SGHL as a product mix with NHLA grade lumber. This study observed more than 95% of SGHL as Number 3 and better lumber grades. At estimated lumber value, 2x6 and 2x8 SGHL and NHLA grade lumber production as product mix from a log generate higher revenue for all log groups except for the diameter 13" logs. A lower percentage of higher-grade lumber was observed for diameter 13’’ logs than other log groups from this experiment, which resulted in lower revenue. Production cost of CLTs was determined based on the lumber value to manufacture 40' x 10' plain panels with different combinations by lumber grade of yellow poplar and southern yellow pine lumber alone. Production cost was determined by assuming that lumber value contributes 40% of CLTs' total production cost. The 3- ply CLT panels were manufactured using S. Selects lumber in a major direction, and No 1-grade lumber in the minor direction from YP had a production cost of $662.56 per cubic meter, which cost only $643.10 when SYP lumber was used at referenced lumber value. This study concludes that CLT panels from YP cost 3-7 % more than SYP-CLTs at the referenced lumber values.
Ph.D.
This research aims to expand the hardwood lumber consumption in the US by evaluating the opportunity to manufacture cross-laminated timber (CLTs). First, CLT manufacturing industries were visited to know their current capacity to process hardwood lumber. The results suggest that all three CLT industries had sufficient technology to produce hardwood CLTs, and the production was mainly limited by the quality and quantity of lumber available. Commercially hardwood can be used in CLT manufacturing if it can be used for structural application. Hardwood lumber must meet the structural application's minimum requirements to manufacture the structural grade CLTs, so we surveyed the hardwood sawmills to know if they have the required resources to manufacture the structural grade hardwood lumber (SGHL). Only ten percent of the sawmills had required technology to produce SGHL without additional investments. Production of the SGHL also required to generate more revenue for the hardwood sawmills, so we conducted the log yield study to know how the revenue structure of sawmill operation will change from the mixed grade lumber production. At estimated lumber value, 2x6 and 2x8 SGHL and 1-inch National Hardwood Lumber Association (NHLA) grade lumber production as product mix from logs generate higher revenue for all log groups except for the diameter 13" logs. Finally, the production cost of SGHL from the log yield study was evaluated and used to produce CLTs at 40% production cost from lumber at 15% profit margins for sawmills and compare with southern yellow pines CLTs. The results indicate that yellow poplar CLTs cost 3-7 % more than southern yellow pines CLTs at the referenced lumber values. This study concludes that hardwood lumber can be used in CLT manufacturing, so there is an opportunity for hardwood sawmills to expand the market. The first step for commercial production of hardwood CLTs is to produce SGHL on a commercial scale, given that sawmills can benefit from these new products in the current lumber market and meet the minimum requirements of the CLT raw materials.

Abstract:

The compressive strength perpendicular to grain of cross laminated timber (CLT) was studied experimentally. The problem was also theoretically analyzed and a finite element model was created and solved using a commercial finite element software package. The experiments were carried out with three layer CLT specimens of dimensions 200x200x120 mm and 300x300x120 mm. In some of the experiments a contact free deformation measurement system was used to analyze the strain field during loading. Different ways to apply the load were used: over the whole surface of the specimens and by a 50 mm wide steel bar. The position of the steel bar in relation to the specimen edge and its orientation relative the surface grain direction was varied. It was found that the compression strength of the cross laminated timber depended on the way in which the load was applied. The compression strength perpendicular to grain was found vary from 2.9 N/mm² for specimens loaded by a line load at the edge of the specimen and parallel to the surface grain direction to 5.8 N/mm² for specimens loaded by a line load at the specimen centre and perpendicular to the surface fiber direction.

Tryckhållfastheten vinkelrät fiberriktningen i korslimmade massivträskivor (CLT) bestämdes experimentellt. Även teoretiska studier genomfördes med hjälp av ett kommersiellt finita elementprogram. Provningarna genomfördes på treskiktsskivor med måtten 200x200x120 mm samt 300x300x120 mm. I vissa av försöken användes dessutom ett mätsystem för beröringsfri deformationsmätning för att bestämma töjningsfälten. Olika sätt att belasta provbitarna undersöktes: genom att belasta hela provytan eller genom att belasta provet med en 50 mm bred stålstav. Stålstavens läge i förhållande till provbitens kant och dess orientering i förhållande till ytskiktets fiberriktning varierades. De experimentella resultaten visade att hållfastheten beror på hur provbitarna belastas. Tryckhållfastheten varierade mellan 2.9 N/mm² för fallet med en linjelast vid provbitens kant och orienterad parallellt med ytskiktets fiberriktning och 5.8 N/mm² för fallet med en linjelast mitt på provbiten och orienterad vinkelrät mot ytskiktets fiberriktning.

Abstract:

An integrated experimental and numerical research program investigating the elastic and inelastic performance as well as the kinematic behaviour of shearwalls with openings is presented in this study. The influence of the geometrical dimensions of the wall configurations and the mechanical properties and configurations of hold-downs on both elastic and inelastic behaviours including the possible kinematic modes of the shearwalls are investigated. The research also proposes the concept of equivalent-frame-model applicable for shearwalls where openings are cut-out from CLT panels. Are also presented, five racking tests performed on full scale CLT walls in order to validate the numerical models as well as the equivalent frame model. From review of the available literature emerges that for CLT shearwalls with openings, studies are not at the same level of abundance in research compared to walls without openings, due to the simple reason that SSW is generally a widespread technique. Thus, the kinematic behaviour and the coupling effect are inexistent and presented here. The investigations of the wall’s behaviour in the elastic and inelastic ranges demonstrate the important effect of the lintel and wall segment slenderness as well as the hold-down stiffness effect on the mechanical behaviour and the global kinematic behaviour as well. It is found that the kinematic modes can change when the walls are stressed beyond their elasticity limit. The failure mode and the global ductility are highly dependent on the hold-down configurations particularly for walls with door openings. The degree of coupling decrease with increased hold-down stiffness and the wall segment width. With regards to the equivalent frame model, a reasonable fit is found between the proposed EFM and a detailed 2D area element model when the global elastic stiffness and tensile load in the hold-down were compared. The model is successfully validated through five full-scale tests on CLT shearwalls with door or window opening as well as two published studies on walls with door openings. The EFM is capable of predicting the behaviour in the wall with reasonable accuracy, especially for walls whose behaviour was dominated by the hold-down behaviour.

Abstract:

The use of timber in building structures is steadily increasing. cross laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product made of an uneven number of layers of lamellas glued at an angle of 90 degrees to each other. This gives CLT high stiffness and strength to bending in all directions, and capability of taking load both in-plane and out-of-plane. Due to the large size of CLT elements, they allow for quick assembly of strong structures. Due to both economic and environmental reasons it is important for producers of CLT to optimize the use of the wood material by using the timber with higher stiffness and strength where it is most needed. This thesis is about evaluating the bending and shear stiffness of CLT elements, when used as plates, depending on the quality of wood used in the different layers. Four-point bending tests are carried out on elements of different compositions and a parametrized finite element model is created. Thus, the model is validated on the basis of experimental tests to evaluate the influence of different quality of different layers. The measured dynamic MoE proved to have good potential to be used as the longitudinal bending stiffness in an FE-model, with a deviation from the experimental tests of less than 1%. There is a strong correlation between the bending stiffness and bending strength of the plates. The effective rolling shear modulus in pine was calculated to be around 170 MPa for pine of dimension 40 x 195 mm2 . Grading the boards into two different classes used for different layers proved to increase the MoE of the plates by 11-17% for 3- and 5-layer CLT.

Abstract:

Negli ultimi anni, la tecnica costruttiva a pannelli CLT ha riscosso un notevole successo, grazie a costi contenuti, velocità di messa in opera ed alta efficienza energetica con spessori moderati. Proprio per la grande resistenza meccanica i pannelli CLT vengono usati con spessori non eccessivi e quindi relativamente poca massa, per cui risulta critico l’isolamento acustico. Il lavoro di tesi pertanto riguarda lo studio e l’applicazione di metodi numerici e sperimentali per la valutazione del comportamento acustico di pannelli da costruzione in CLT. Si introduce un parametro fondamentale per la descrizione del campo acustico: l'efficienza di radiazione. Questo parametro descrive il rapporto che sussiste fra il suono irradiato e la velocità di vibrazione della lastra, coniugando cioè l’aspetto acustico e quello meccanico. Per la valutazione del parametro non esiste ancora una procedura standardizzata. Si è fatto quindi riferimento a diverse procedure tratte dalla letteratura scientifica in modo da poter comparare i risultati ottenuti. Sono stati applicati il Discrete Calculation Method (DCM) e la proposta di protocollo sperimentale del CSTB. È stata inoltre studiata la curva di dispersione della lastra. La determinazione sperimentale di tale curva risulta importante per poter dare un’ulteriore validazione ai risultati ottenuti con le misure di efficienza di radiazione ed in tal modo completare lo studio del comportamento vibro-acustico di lastre in CLT. I risultati ottenuti con i diversi metodi mostrano una buona compatibilità sia per il calcolo dell'efficienza di radiazione che per la valutazione della curva di dispersione.

Abstract:

Many of us have encountered the discussion about which interface is better for working with Git, command-line or graphical. This thesis is an attempt to find out which user interface new Git users prefer for Git and what experienced Git users prefer. We aimed to find out if there’s anything significant which can be gained from using either of the interfaces in comparison to each other. Lastly we looked at what factors influences git users choice of user interface and how?. We have collected data through three interviews and a survey, which yielded approximately 370 responses. Based on our results we’ve found that the command-line interface is the more popular user interface, in general, amongst Git users. We’ve also found that most users stop using graphical user inter- faces, as their primary user interface, as they get more experience with Git. They usually change their primary user interface to a command- line interface or start using both the graphical user interface and the command-line interface together. The results from our study regard- ing why, is presented in this thesis.

Abstract:

Through the filters of postcolonial theory, environmental humanities, and digital humanities, this project considers the capabilities and limitations of novels to galvanize action in response to environmental crises. My findings suggest that novels are well equipped to engage in environmental education, although some of the form’s conventions must be disrupted to fully capitalize upon its strengths. The modern novel is conventionally limited in scope, often resorts to apocalyptic narratives that can breed hopelessness, is dedicated to a form of realism that belies the dramatic weather events exacerbated by climate change, defers authority to a single voice, and is logocentric. By supplementing conventional novels with a variety of paratexts, including digital tools, scientific findings, non-fiction accounts of past, present, and future activism, and authorial biography, it is my contention that the novel’s potency as a pedagogical tool increases. After addressing this project’s stakes and contexts in my Introduction, Chapter II assesses three South Asian novels in English that are concerned with sustainable development: Bhabani Bhattacharya’s Shadow from Ladakh, Bharati Mukherjee’s Jasmine, and Aravind Adiga’s The White Tiger. I conclude by considering how StoryMaps might further disrupt pro-sustainable development propaganda alongside more traditional novels. Chapter III examines how explicitly activist South Asian novelists construct authorial personae that propose additional solutions to the environmental problems identified in their novels, focusing on Amitav Ghosh’s The Hungry Tide and Indra Sinha’s Animal’s People. Chapter IV coins the term “locus-colonial novel,” a novel that decenters the human, situating place at the fulcrum of a work of historical fiction, using Hari Kunzru’s Gods without Men as one exemplar. I examine Kunzru’s novel alongside promotional materials for planned Mars missions to consider how narratives of colonialism on Earth might lead to a more socially and environmentally sustainable colonial model for Mars. Chapter V introduces the concept of a digital locus-colonial novel that allows users to develop informed, environmentally focused scenarios for colonial Mars. Through these chapters, this dissertation identifies specific rhetorical techniques that allow conscientious novels to create imaginative spaces where readers might explore solutions to the social, economic, and increasingly environmental problems facing human populations worldwide.

Abstract:

This study explores Bangladeshi secondary teacher educators‟ experiences and understandings of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) at secondary level in Bangladesh. It also aims to find out what the opportunities and challenges are for teacher educators who are preparing secondary English teachers to implement CLT in Bangladesh. The study adopts a qualitative case study methodology. Participants in the project are three teacher educators of English from three different government teacher training colleges situated in three different districts in Bangladesh. The teacher educators‟ who were part of the study support an ongoing emphasis on communication in English teaching. They understand CLT in ways that reflect the literature and theory of CLT. However, they also acknowledge challenges in the ways CLT is implemented, in particular a disconnection between secondary teacher education and realities of practice in secondary schools, the relevance of textbooks used, and relationships between teacher educators and trainee teachers and between teachers and students. The study concludes with recommendations for practice and pedagogy in secondary teacher education in Bangladesh to address these challenges.

Abstract:

Cross-laminated timbers (CLTs) are strong and lightweight structural building materials. CLTs are made from renewable wood resources and have significant economic potential as a new value-added product for the United States. However, market penetration has been obstructed by product affordability and lack of availability for use. Previous studies and projects have surveyed opinions of designers and contractors about the adoption of CLTs. No previous study was found that surveyed cost estimators, who serve the essential function of creating economic comparisons of alternative materials in commercial construction.

The purpose of this study was to discover if cost estimation is being used to make structural decisions potentially affecting the marketability of CLT use in construction and building design because of the ability to estimate CLTs adequately. Through the use of a survey, the re-designing of a building, and discussions with subject matter experts, this study examined the knowledge level of cross-laminated timbers of under-surveyed building construction professions and the relationship between cost estimation and structural material choices. Their responses are demonstrating the need for better cost estimation tools for cross-laminated timbers such as inclusion in the Construction Specifications Institute's classification systems in order for CLTs to become a more competitive product. The study concluded that cost estimation is important for CLT market development, because it is being used extensively in the construction industry.
Master of Science
Cross-laminated timbers (CLTs) are strong and lightweight structural building materials that also serve as a method of sequestering carbon rather than emitting carbon like more traditional construction materials. CLT construction is straightforward and quick to assemble, requiring minimal time and labor. CLTs are made from abundant and renewable wood resources and have significant economic potential as a job creator and as a new value-added product for the United States. However, market penetration has been obstructed by product affordability and lack of availability for use. Previous studies and projects have surveyed opinions of designers and contractors about CLT use. However, no previous study has been found that examined the opinions of cost estimators, who serve an essential function in providing economic comparisons of different construction systems for designers and building owners to select in the commercial construction area. CLTs are currently not included in these cost estimates, and this lack of information may be limiting the potential of this construction system. The purpose of this study was to discover if cost estimation is being used to make structural decisions potentially affecting the marketability of CLT use in construction and building design because of the ability to estimate CLTs adequately. Through the use of a survey and discussions with subject matter experts, this study examined the knowledge level of crosslaminated timbers of under-surveyed building construction professions and the relationship between cost estimation and structural material choices. They are demonstrating the need for better cost estimation tools for cross-laminated timbers such as inclusion in the Construction Specifications Institute’s classification systems in order for CLTs to become a more competitive product. Cost estimation is performed early in the design process before the structural material has been chosen. However, making cost estimates of CLT materials early in the design process is not a practical solution at this point due to the lack of cost data available. As an alternative solution, this project developed a design tool that is meant to accelerate the design process and allow companies to approach suppliers for quotes, which require mostly complete designs. While this is not a complete solution, if designs are made faster and more effortless, they should also be a more affordable investment for clients. 5 | Page Building construction professionals perceived CLT construction as too expensive, unavailable to the consumer, or unwanted by the client. It was found that the lack of data, due primarily to the material being new to the US construction industry, was a significant barrier to CLT cost estimation. The custom design of many previous CLT projects, due to the lack of CLT construction in the current building codes, limits the collection of standard CLT construction data. There is also an issue with the discrete sizes of CLT panels limiting their competitiveness. These barriers were identified in this study, and further research is needed to develop complete solutions.

Abstract:

This thesis aims to compare the cost of post-tensioned connection systems with conventional connections for the transferal of uplift forces in CLT stabilising walls. The desire for taller timber buildings has increased over time, in part due to environmental aspects but also to meet demands from an urbanizing population. For taller buildings, the horizontal load from wind increases. Due to timbers low self-weight, the uplifting force caused by the horizontal loading will be relatively large. Post-tensioning within timber structures is a non-conventional method for the transferal of uplifting forces that has been applied in only a few projects. The cost of the post-tensioning method is therefore unclear to the general engineer and has for that reason been investigated within this thesis. To gain information about the different aspects that might be affected by the connection method, interviews were held with different professionals who had worked with the post- tension method in timber structures. A cost comparison was performed for four different connection methods for stabilising walls, where the methods were three versions of the post-tension method and one with the more common angle brackets and hold-downs. The thesis was completed with a cost comparison within a case study, where the financial differences between the different connection methods for stabilising walls in a building were investigated. The case study building was based on a project currently being designed in Uppsala. Several different versions of the building were created, where the number of stories and stabilising walls of the building were changed. The connection costs for the different versions were compared to find the most cost-effective solution. The results from the stabilising wall analysis showed that the conventional connection method, was the cheaper option for stabilising walls of 4-storeys. While the post-tension method had a cheaper material cost for stabilising walls of 8-storeys and above. As the building height increased the post-tension systems became more priceworthy. The largest cost difference found between the conventional and the post-tension systems was for the 20-storey tall wall subjected to an uplift of 100 kN, where the conventional system was 76,5% more expensive than the most economical post-tensioning system. A four- storey interval was used for the analysis of the building heights. The results from the case study cost comparison followed in the same line as the results from the stabilising wall cost comparison. Both indicated that the post-tension systems became more economical compared to the angle brackets for increased building heights.

Abstract:

Os concretos, assim como o aço e a madeira, são utilizados em larga escala no Brasil. Contudo, outros materiais estão sendo estudados e explorados por pesquisadores em várias partes do mundo, objetivando diminuir o impacto ambiental que muitos materiais, bem como, a construção civil causam ao meio ambiente. Durante o processo de extração tem-se um gasto energético muito alto e uma considerável degradação ao meio ambiente para sua obtenção. Surge, assim, um pensamento ecológico preocupado com o futuro da construção civil mundial, como uma excelente alternativa para a construção que é o Sistema Construtivo Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) Madeira Laminada Cruzada mostrando sua versatilidade no desenvolvimento de materiais. O CLT abre horizontes na engenharia da madeira graças a sua estrutura lamelar o que torna ideal para a construção, devido, a suas propriedades mecânicas. Por meio da metodologia experimental, e da pesquisa bibliográfica pode-se observar que o bambu é um material sustentável com inúmeras vantagens para a construção. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar o desempenho estrutural dos painéis CLTB (Cross Laminated Timber and Bamboo) Madeira e Bambu Laminado Colado Cruzado compostos de madeira pinus (Pinus spp.) e Bambu (Dendrocalamus giganteus). Espera-se que o sistema construtivo de CLTB possa constituir alternativa tecnológica para a construção civil. Ensaios de colagem de pequenos corpos de prova foram realizados com o objetivo de julgar-se a qualidade de três tipos de adesivos que constituíram os painéis CLTB. Dividiu-se em duas etapas, a primeira foi a escolha do melhor adesivo a ser utilizado nos painéis através de testes mecânicos, conforme a norma NBR 7190 (1997). Foram ensaiados 312 corpos de prova representativos de painel CLTB, utilizando os adesivos Melanina Uréia Formaldeído (MUF), Isocianato (EPI) e adesivo à base de óleo de mamona (AGT). Os corpos de prova foram subdivididos em 8 grupos com 13 corpos de prova cada grupo, e colados com orientação paralela e perpendiculares às fibras de bambu e de pinus e posição de material (parte externa com parte externa de bambu, parte interna com parte externa de bambu, parte externa de bambu com pinus e parte interna do bambu com pinus), fazendo 8 tipos de combinações diferentes das espécies bambu e pinus. A análise dos resultados obtidos nos testes de determinação da resistência ao cisalhamento, longitudinal da colagem entre bambu e pinus em mesma direção das fibras e entre as mesmas espécies apontou melhor desempenho para o adesivo MUF, para a combinação de bambu/pinus nas colagens com a mesma direção das fibras, parte externa bambu e pinus. Realizou-se ensaio em laboratório dos painéis de CLTB. Ensaiou-se 8 painéis com as seguintes camadas: bambu/pinus/bambu, sendo as camadas externas de bambu e a camada central de pinus. Os valores de rigidez e de ruptura ficaram acima dos especificados pela norma americana ANSI/APA PGR 320 (2012); neste estudo 13310,2 e 64,6 respectivamente mostrando desta forma a viabilidade do uso deste material para uso estrutural.
Concretes, like steel and wood, are widely used in Brazil. However, other materials are being studied and explored by researchers in various parts of the world, aiming to reduce the environmental impact that many materials as well as civil construction cause to the environment. During the extraction process there is a very high energy expenditure and considerable degradation to the environment to obtain it. Thus, an ecological thinking concerned with the future of the world civil construction, as an excellent alternative for the construction that is the Construction System Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) Cross Laminated Wood showing its versatility in the development of materials. The CLT opens horizons in the engineering of the wood thanks to its lamellar structure which makes it ideal for the construction due to its mechanical properties. Through the experimental methodology, and the bibliographical research it can be observed that bamboo is a sustainable material with numerous advantages for the construction. The aim of the present work was to analyze the structural performance of CLTB (Cross Laminated Timber and Bamboo) and Bamboo Laminated Crossed Composite panels composed of pine wood (Pinus spp.) And Bamboo (Dendrocalamus giganteus). It is expected that the construction system of CLTB may constitute a technological alternative for civil construction. Bonding tests of small specimens were performed with the objective of judging the quality of three types of adhesives that constituted the CLTB panels. It was divided in two stages, the first one was the choice of the best adhesive to be used in the panels through mechanical tests, according to the norm NBR 7190 (1997). 312 representative specimens of CLTB panels were tested using Melanin Urea Formaldehyde (MUF), Isocyanate (EPI) and castor oil based (AGT) adhesives. The specimens were subdivided into 8 groups with 13 test specimens each group, and glued with parallel orientation and perpendicular to the bamboo and pinus fibers and position of material (external part with bamboo outside, inner part with external part of bamboo, bamboo outside with pinus and inner part of bamboo with pinus), making 8 kinds of different combinations of species bamboo and pine. The analysis of the results obtained in the tests of determination of the shear strength, longitudinal of the bonding between bamboo and pine in the same direction of the fibers and between the same species showed better performance for the adhesive MUF, for the combination of bamboo / pinus in the collages with the same direction of the fibers, outside bamboo and pine. Laboratory testing of the CLTB panels was performed. 8 panels were tested with the following layers: bamboo / pinus / bamboo, the outer layers of bamboo and the central layer of pine. The values of stiffness and rupture were higher than those specified by the American Standard ANSI / APA PGR 320 (2012); in this study 13310.2 and 64.6 respectively, thus showing the feasibility of using this material for structural use.

Dentro da família Enterobacteriaceae, Klebsiella pneumoniae produtora da carbapenemase KPC é o principal patógeno responsável por essas infecções e é alvo de grande preocupação devido seu alto potencial de disseminação. Para reduzir o atraso na terapia adequada e implementar as medidas de controle é essencial a detecção acurada deste mecanismo de resistência. Entretanto, isso representa um desafio para os laboratórios de microbiologia, pois os pontos de corte clínico recomendados pelos manuais de referência não são capazes de detectar todos os isolados produtores de carbapenemase e nenhum dos testes indicados como confirmatórios possuem 100% de sensibilidade e especificidade. O objetivo do estudo foi verificar a acurácia dos métodos e critérios interpretativos propostos pelos manuais Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) e Brazilian Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (BrCAST) para detecção da produção de carbapenemase em 47 amostras clínicas de K. pneumoniae carreadora do gene blaKPC. A susceptibilidade aos carbapenêmicos e os critérios de seleção das amostras para realização dos métodos confirmatórios empregados (Teste de Hodge Modificado e Teste de sinergismo com inibidores) foram avaliada através dos métodos de difusão a partir do disco (DD) e da determinação da concentração mínima inibitória utilizando os critérios interpretativos de ambos os manuais. Todas as amostras apresentaram fenótipo MDR. Os resultados indicaram que os pontos de corte clínico associados aos pontos de corte de triagem propostos pelo BrCAST mostraram melhor desempenho em selecionar corretamente as amostras de K. pneumoniae carreando o gene blaKPC para os testes confirmatórios. Para garantir maior acurácia é crucial seguir estritamente o preconizado uso dos três carbapenêmicos e, além disso, foi observado que o método de DD seguindo os critérios do manual brasileiro foi o único capaz de selecionar corretamente todas as amostras para os testes confirmatórios. Ambos os testes fenotípicos foram capazes de detectar produção de carbapenemase nas mesmas 40 amostras e em 7 amostras os resultados nesses testes foram negativos apesar da presença do gene blaKPC.

A interceptação de conexões à Internet é uma técnica de investigação criminal prevista pela legislação brasileira sob determinadas condições, que consiste na captura e análise do tráfego de rede de determinada conexão sem o conhecimento dos investigados. Diversas dificuldades têm inibido seu uso, tais como falta de padronização na disponibilização do tráfego pelos provedores de conexão, infraestrutura inadequada para recebimento do tráfego e ferramentas ineficientes para tratamento e análise do tráfego. Neste trabalho são propostos dois sistemas (SIT e CLIT) e metodologia de investigação utilizando-os. O SIT (Servidor de Interceptação Telemática) é uma infraestrutura central para recebimento do tráfego e o CLIT (Cliente de Interceptação Telemática) trata-se de ferramenta de obtenção, tratamento, importação e análise de tráfego. Os sistemas visam à simplificação do uso de interceptações de conexões de Internet nas investigações e, em consequência, o aumento do seu uso. Os resultados obtidos nos experimentos demonstram que a metodologia de investigação utilizando os sistemas desenvolvidos apresentou, além da simplificação do processo, diversos benefícios que potencializam o uso das interceptações de conexão à Internet pelos órgãos de investigação criminal brasileiros. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
The interception of Internet connections is a technique of criminal investigation admitted by Brazilian legislation under certain conditions, which consists of capturing and analyzing network traffic of a given connection without the knowledge of the person being investigated. Several problems have inhibited its use, such as lack of standardization in the delivery of traffic by connecting providers, inadequate infrastructure for receiving traffic and inefficient tools for treatment and traffic analysis. This paper proposes two systems (SIT and CLIT) and investigation methodology using them. The SIT (Telematics Interception Server) is a central infrastructure for receiving traffic and CLIT (Telematics Interception Client) it is a tool for obtaining, processing, importing and analyzing the traffic. Systems aimed at simplifying the use of interception of Internet connections in the investigations and, consequently, increased their use. The results obtained in the experiments demonstrate that the investigation methodology using the designed systems presented, as well as simplifying the process, several benefits that enhance the use of interception of Internet connection by Brazilian criminal investigation agencies.

Abstract:

La tablature pour luth de Cracovie (CLT), datant de c. 1553 jusqu'au début du XVIIème siècle, est la collection la plus complète et la plus ancienne de musique de luth de la période de la Renaissance polonaise. Le répertoire du CLT, 57 pièces représentantun siècle de musique, est constitué de mises en tablature, de compositions vocales, de danses, de fantaisies et de préludes. Le CLT est la principale source de ces pièces polonaises uniques. Le but fondamental de cette thèse est l'étude de ce manuscrit rare et insuffisamment étudié. Toutes les pièces du CLT ont été analysées , cataloguées et retranscrites dans une transcription interprétative. Presque tous les genres faisant partie de ce manuscrit sont identifiés; les modèles vocaux, les auteurs, les titres et les sources imprimées de certaines pièces ont été établis. Le CLT représente une source intéressante et variée sur la culture de la musique de luth de la Renaissance et reflète parfaitement les changement survenus dans la musique européenne instrumentale entre deux époques : la Renaissance et le Baroque. Le CLT démontre l'existence de contacts culturels entre la Pologne et d'autres centres musicaux européens, enrichit notre connaissance sur les techniques de composition, les procédures d'ornementation et les arrangements reflète les tendances générales dans la musique instrumentale soliste polonaise à cette période et, avec les célèbres tablatures pour clavier de Jan de Lublin et de Cracovie, représenta l'une des sources les plus importantes de la musique instrumentale polonaise de la Renaissance. Cette recherche répond aux nombreuses attentes sur la connaissance de la musique de luth polonaise de la Renaissance avant l'apparition de célèbres luthistes polonais à la fin du XVIème siècle et au début du XVIIème et permettra de faire avancer les recherches de ce manuscrit rare
The Cracow Lute Tablature (CTL) dated c. 1553-early 17th century, is the earliest and most comprehensive collection of Polish Renaissance lute music. The repertoire of CLT, 57 pieces representing a century's worth of music, consists of intabulations of vocal compositions, dances, fantasias and preludes. CLT is the principal source of the unique Polish pieces. The fundamental goal of this dissertation is the study of this rare and unsufficiently examined manuscript. All pieces of CTL have benne analyzed, catalogued and transcribed in the interpretative transcription wich is reconstruction of the raw musical material found in the tablature which renders the real sound of the polyphonic structure, as sounded on the lute in accordance with a modern concept of meter. Almost all genres are identified, the vocal models, the autorship, titles and printed sources of some of the pieces have been established. CTL was compiled during the most productive period in the history of the Renaissance lute music and reflects changes in the European instrumental music between two epochs the Renaissance and Baroque. CTL proves Polish cultural contacts with other musical centers in Europe, enriches our knowledge of compositional techniques, procedures of ornamentation and arrangement, reflects the general tendencies in Polish solo instrumental music of this period and side by side with the famous Jan of Lublin and the Cracow keyboard tablatures, it is one of the most important sources of Polish Renaissance instrumental music. In many details CTL is a varied, problematical source representing a rich and interresting level of Renaissance musical culture. The present study considerably fill the gap in our knowledge on Polish lute music before appearance of the famous Polish lutenists at the beginning of the 17th century and advance the state of searche into this manuscript

Abstract:

Le bois a été l’un des premiers matériaux utilisés par l’homme et possède encore aujourd’hui beaucoup de potentiel dans la construction. En effet, de nombreux matériaux d’ingénierie ont été développés à partir du bois, comme les panneaux de bois lamellé-croisé (CLT). Ces matériaux permettent d’être compétitifs avec le béton ou l’acier en termes de performance, de coût et d’empreinte environnementale. L’extraction des ressources, la fabrication de matériaux de construction et la construction elle-même (transport et machinerie) sont énergivores et à l’origine d’importants dégagements de gaz à effet de serre. Le bois est une ressource renouvelable qui a l’avantage de fixer du carbone lors de sa croissance et de le conserver une fois en service. Durant sa vie utile, un bâtiment va aussi consommer de l’énergie pour le chauffage / la climatisation et l’éclairage. C’est pourquoi la recherche de l’efficacité énergétique est nécessaire. Le CLT est un matériau d’ingénierie qui a le potentiel de démocratiser les bâtiments de moyenne hauteur en bois. En cela le CLT est avantageux pour la performance énergétique, puisque les panneaux font un effet barrière à l’air, à la vapeur et à la chaleur. Dans le système constructif en CLT, les jonctions avec les autres panneaux et les percements sont les principaux chemins de fuites pour l’air. Les infiltrations/exfiltrations vont être responsables d’importantes pertes thermiques. De plus, les exfiltrations peuvent induire une humidité excessive en présence de chaleur dans le mur, provoquant la croissance de moisissure et de pourriture du bois. La résistance des matériaux et la santé des occupants peuvent être compromises à moyen et long terme. Le but de ce projet est d’évaluer l’impact des tolérances d’assemblages, en présence d’une fuite d’air, sur la performance énergétique et la durabilité du mur afin de vérifier si les tolérances d’assemblages représentent un risque à prendre en considération ou non. Des thermographies d’une jonction en angle de murs en CLT prises lors d’une dépressurisation du bâtiment ont permis d’identifier une fissure. Un travail de modélisation de la fissure en fonction des températures observables a ensuite permis de dimensionner la fissure (0,72 mm traversant l’isolation) en considérant une tolérance d’assemblage pour le CLT de 2 mm. Cette fissure « modèle » a ensuite été transposée dans le cas d’un mur plat, afin que ne soit pas considéré le pont thermique lié à l’angle. Une analyse de l’impact sur la performance énergétique de tolérances d’assemblages variables a été réalisée par simulation informatique, pour une infiltration et une exfiltration. La simulation a également permis d’analyser l’impact sur la durabilité, en termes de développements fongiques et de risque de condensation, d’une exfiltration sur notre fissure « modèle ». La simulation a montré que l’impact d’une infiltration sur la performance énergétique est 1,62 fois plus grand que pour une exfiltration, qui est elle-même 1,37 fois plus énergivore qu’un mur sans fissure. L’influence de la largeur de la tolérance d’assemblage est minorée par la dimension de la fissure dans le reste du mur. La simulation des échanges hygriques dans la fissure a montré que la croissance de moisissure est à craindre en surface, lorsque l’humidité relative de l’air est de 40 % et plus. La zone touchée est principalement l’isolation, mais s’étend jusqu’au CLT à mesure que l’humidité relative de l’air exfiltré augmente. L’humidité de l’air condense à proximité de la sortie de l’exfiltration, ce qui peut mener à une accumulation de givre sous le revêtement extérieur. Le résultat de ces simulations permet de mettre l’accent sur l’importance de la continuité du pare-air et de la mise en place de mesures pour éviter qu’une tolérance d’assemblage soit un chemin libre pour l’air. L’utilisation de joints adhésifs souples pouvant épouser la découpe irrégulière du CLT et amortir les variations dimensionnelles permettrait de réduire les risques liés aux fuites d’air.
Wood is one of the first material mankind used to work with and is still full of potential for building sector. Many engineering materials have been developed from wood, such as the cross-laminated timber (CLT). Wooden engineering materials are as performant as steel and concrete but are also cost effective and have a lower environmental footprint. Resources extraction for the manufacture of building materials and the building phase itself require a lot of energy, and generate or release important amount of greenhouse gaz. Wood is a sustainable resource that has the benefit of being able to capture carbon during its growing phase and to preserve it. In service, buildings will have heating and cooling loads, depending of their energy efficiency, high energy efficiency is required to lower the overall energy footprint of buildings. CLT has the potential to be a greener substitute to reinforced concrete in the mid-rise building. CLT helps to reach energy efficiency because wood panels act as a barrier for air, vapor and heat. In CLT building system, junctions between panels and with other elements (ducts, wiring, etc) are the main leakage paths through the envelope. Infiltrations and exfiltrations are responsible for important heat losses. Exfiltrations can also lead to excessive moisture accumulation in the walls, resulting in mold and rot growth. Structural integrity and air quality can be jeopardized on the average/long term. The aim of this project was to assess the impact of gaps between CLT panels, in case of air leakages, on the energy efficiency and durability of the wall. A real case of infiltration in a corner of a CLT building was used to size an air leakage area in the insulation (0.72 mm through the insulation considering a 1 m high wall), intended an assembly tolerance or gap of 2 mm. The gap was then extrapolated to a flat wall, to exclude the thermal bridge effect of the corner. An energy efficiency assessment was done using simulations for both cases of infiltration and exfiltration, with variable assembly gap. Simulation also permits to assess the impact on durability, on mold growth risks, of the exfiltration for variable exfiltrated air relative humidity. Results show that infiltration has a greater impact (1.62 times) than exfiltration, which is itself 1.37 times more energy-consuming than a perfect wall. The impact of the assembly gap variations in the CLT is restricted by a maximum flow rate dicted by the air leakage path in the insulation. Simulation of moisture transfer shows that mold growth is to fear on the gap surface through the wall, when the exfiltrated air relative humidity exceeds 40 %. The first mold development should primarily affects the insulation, but extends to the CLT as the relative humidity of the exfiltrated air increases. Condensation occurs in the insulation near the outlet of the exfiltration, leading to an accumulation of ice behind the external cladding. Results of simulations show how important it is to keep the air barrier continuous, and to avoid that assembly gaps in the CLT act as shortcut for eventual air leaks. The use of flexible adhesive joints, which can match the irregular cut of the CLT and dampen the dimensional variations would reduce the risks of air leakage.

Abstract:

Timber has become more popular as a construction material during recent years. Engineered wood products, such as glued laminated timber and cross-laminated timber, have enabled the construction of multi-storey buildings. Tall buildings with many occupants need to resist a disproportional collapse in case of unexpected exposures, e.g. accidents or terrorism. Structural robustness can improve the collapse resistance of a building. The literature about robustness is comprehensive concerning concrete and steel buildings, but it is rather limited regarding timber. A robust building can mobilise alternative load paths in the structure after the removal of bearing building components. Alternative load paths rely primarily on the connections between components. For timber buildings, few investigations exist to evaluate the alternative load paths after a removal. Analyses usually do not take into account non-linear effects which could influence the capacity of alternative load paths, such as damage of single fasteners, friction, timber crushing and brittle failure. In particular, the alternative load paths in platform-framed cross-laminated timber buildings are not well understood. The goals of this thesis are to i) review the concept of robustness in general and determine the state of the art concerning timber buildings in particular, ii) develop a method to analyse the alternative load paths in a platform-framed CLT building taking into account relevant non-linearities, iii) use the method to elicit the alternative load paths in a building after a wall removal, and iv) study the effects of probabilistic variations of model parameters. The thesis first introduces tall timber buildings and then presents a summary of structural robustness in a collapse resistance framework. The summary includes established analysis methods and specific considerations for timber, whereof a detailed review is provided in Paper I. Paper III additionally provides results of a survey on contemporary practices of professionals around the world concerning robustness. In the subsequent chapter, the studied 8-storey case building made of platform-framed cross-laminated timber is described including the modelling abstractions. Additionally, the setup of a validation experiment for the modelling approach is described. The following chapter introduces the modelling approach for an alternative load path analysis after a wall removal. The approach is based on the finite element method using the commercial software Abaqus. The deterministic part of the approach includes a non-linear static pushdown analysis of single storeys in a bay and elicits the alternative load paths and their capacity. Finite connector elements in the model substitute single fasteners including their elastic, plastic, damage and rupture behaviour. The 3D models of the walls and floors account for timber crushing, brittle failure and contact friction. A simplified non-linear dynamic model of the entire bay uses the pushdown results as inputs and evaluates the collapse progression among storeys after a sudden element removal. The probabilistic part of the approach models the uncertainty of the input parameters of the dynamic model by varying the parameter values in a Monte Carlo simulation, to evaluate the probability of a collapse. Paper II applies the approach for a simple pushdown of a single storey and Paper IV applies the pushdown and the dynamic analysis to elicit the alternative load paths after a single wall removal. The thesis shows furthermore the results of a double wall removal in the example building and the results of the Monte Carlo analysis for the single and double wall removal. For the assumed removals, the developed approach could identify the alternative load paths, determine their capacities and estimate the probability of a collapse under probabilistic variations. The approach might be used to classify various removal scenarios in platform-framed multi-storey cross-laminated timber buildings specifically and predetermine design solutions which could provide a desired level of robustness. The approach might be generalised for multi-storey timber buildings of various construction types.

Abstract:

From the inception of high rise construction concrete and steel have been the foundation both literally and figuratively of the construction process. As we, a society, become more aware and conscious of the environmental impacts of our built environment we must ask ourselves, are our current construction practices the best or are there ways that we can not only become more environmentally cognizant, but also more efficient in our construction of buildings. This project is an investigation of how a joint can help to improve the construction process and manifest itself into creating the tectonic nature of a project by using timber in high rise construction.

Abstract:

As the community land trust (CLT) movement in the United States approaches its 50th anniversary, CLT members, practitioners and researchers are exploring and pushing the boundaries of the model. CLTs offer an alternative model of land use tenure that permanently removes properties from the speculative market for the ongoing common good of the community. Most frequently associated with the provision of affordable housing in strong real estate markets, several CLTs across the country are now expanding into the commercial realm. This thesis compares the incipient commercial development efforts underway in St. Paul, Minnesota and New Orleans, Louisiana in order to better understand the potential role of CLTs in helping communities preserve and create commercial assets under a wide range of market forces.

Abstract:

Questo elaborato di tesi si pone l’obiettivo di studiare e confrontare tra loro due diversi approcci di modellazione attualmente forniti dalla letteratura per valutare il comportamento sismico degli edifici multipiano in CLT, arrivando a proporre un modello semplificato che ben predica il comportamento di edifici multipiano in CLT, differenti tra loro per morfologia ed azioni applicate, in risposta ad azioni sismiche. Con lo scopo di coprire un numero di casi ampio, si è implementata un’analisi parametrica con un alto numero di variabili. Nel dettaglio, si sono analizzati edifici con diverso numero di piani, diversa azione sismica agente, diverso carico applicato e diversa larghezza delle pareti. Gli approcci utilizzati per condurre le analisi sono due. Il primo è un approccio per componenti, nel quale vengono adottati vincoli lineari per implementare le connessioni mentre le pareti vengono modellate con elementi tipo shell. Il secondo è un approccio semplificato fenomenologico, il quale non prevede l’implementazione dei sistemi di connessione, ma si basa sull’utilizzo di un modulo elastico equivalente che, una volta assegnato al pannello, riesce a riassumere e descrivere il comportamento complessivo della parete, comprendendo anche quello delle connessioni. L’obiettivo principale di questo lavoro è quello di confrontare le due diverse tipologie di modellazione appena citate, con lo scopo di calibrare un valore di modulo elastico equivalente da assegnare alle pareti di un modello fenomenologico. Tale valore verrà valutato per mezzo di analisi sismiche dinamiche lineari a partire dagli spostamenti che si verificano sulla struttura allo stato limite di danno nel modello per componenti, cercando di riprodurre fedelmente tali spostamenti nel modello fenomenologico. Da questo confronto si è ottenuto modello semplificato, di tipo fenomenologico, che permette di stimare il periodo proprio di vibrare, gli spostamenti della struttura e le forze sollecitanti.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura, com a especialização em Arquitetura apresentada na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa para obtenção do grau de Mestre.
Serve o presente trabalho para estudar a viabilidade da aplicação do sistema construtivo de painéis de madeira de Cross Laminated Timber - CLT, na construção ou recuperação de um edifício de habitação de média densidade em Portugal, na cidade de Lisboa. Os painéis de CLT são peças de madeira associadas a um processo construtivo inovador, com uma considerável capacidade de suportar cargas aplicadas, principalmente quando comparado com sistemas construtivos convencionais. Neste tipo de estruturas de CLT os elementos que a constituem comportam-se como painéis, em que o transporte das forças é feito bidireccionalmente. Considerou-se a elaboração deste trabalho atendendo às preocupações relacionadas com um tema da actualidade, nomeadamente as alterações climáticas. Ao nível da arquitectura, uma das formas de reduzir o impacto ambiental que a construção provoca é por exemplo através da utilização da madeira, que por sua vez tem a capacidade de armazenar dióxido de carbono, um dos principais gases emitidos para a atmosfera com efeito de estufa. Ao potenciar o uso da madeira, está-se por uma lado a dinamizar o sector madeireiro, mas também por outro lado a contribuir para a diminuição da pegada ecológica. Na realidade, com o aumento da utilização da madeira poder-se-á eventualmente, verificar-se uma maior necessidade do aumento da fileira, significando portanto que quantas mais árvores forem plantadas maior a quantidade de CO2 poderá ser retirada da atmosfera, desta forma também poderá surgir a necessidade de criar diferentes políticas de gestão e manutenção florestal com esta utilização em vista. Atendendo às propriedades físicas e mecânicas da madeira considerou-se importante abordar o tema da pré-fabricação de peças de madeira. Por ser um material dúctil, a madeira permite a normalização de vários tipos de produtos que por sua vez podem ser aplicados na construção de casas modulares, em que um dos principais objectivos deste tipo de construção está relacionado com a regularização das dimensões da construção de modo a estabelecer um módulo padrão como unidade de medida de referência, optimizando-se o processo de pré-fabricação e montagem do edifício no local. Por outro lado este é um tipo de construção que obedece a medidas passivas, que por sua vez pressupõe poupanças, ou até mesmo reduções significativas do consumo de energia do próprio edifício.
ABSTRACT: The present work aims to study applicability of the use of the Cross Laminated Timber – CLT construction system for new construction and rehabilitation of medium density housing in Portugal, in the city of Lisbon. The CLT panels are pieces of wood associated with an innovative construction process, with a considerable loading capacity, especially when compared with traditional constructive systems. In this type of CLT structures the elements consist of panels, in which the force transport is made bidirectionally. The elaboration of this work was considered taking into account the concerns related to a current theme, namely climate change. In architecture one of the ways to reduce the environmental impact that the construction causes is for example through the use of wood, since this material has the capacity to store carbon dioxide, a green house effect gas. By enhancing the use of wood, on the one hand, the timber industry could become more dynamic while also contributing to the reduction of green house effect. In fact, with increasing use of wood there will also be a greater need to plant trees, impling that the more trees that are planted the more CO2 that is withdrawn from the atmosphere, this could also create the need to create a different forest management and maintenance policies. Considering the physical and mechanical properties of wood, it was considered important to address the pre-fabrication of wood pieces. Because it is a ductile material, wood allows the standardization of several types of products which in turn can be applied in the construction of modular houses, in which one of the main objectives of this type of construction is related to the regularization of the dimensions of the construction with the purpose to establish a standard module as a reference unit of measurement, optimizing the pre-fabrication and assembly process of the building on site. On the other hand this is a type of construction that obeys passive requirements, which in turn supposes savings, or even significant reductions in the energy consumption of the building itself.

En variansanalys visade ingen signifikant effekt av spatial distans, inte heller någon skillnad mellan kvinnor och män.

Abstract:

A partire da quanto già scoperto grazie al progetto TimBeest, in questo elaborato si è studiato il comportamento sismico di edifici in Cross-lam Lamited Timber (CLT) a tre, cinque e sette piani in diverse zone sismiche e climatiche in Italia. Per ognuna di queste strutture si è studiato quanto e in che modo influiscono il fattore di struttura della costruzione, la presenza o meno di massa termica nei pacchetti di solai e pareti, e il tipo di analisi eseguita, sui risultati che ne rispecchiano il comportamento sismico. Infine si è fatto un confronto tra tutti i risultati ottenuti in termini di sollecitazioni, di periodi principali di vibrazione e numero di connessioni necessarie per un buon livello di dissipazione di energia sismica da parte dell'edificio. In questo modo si è cercato di capire dove e in quali condizioni è possibile costruire questa tipologia di edifici in Italia.

Questo studio presenta un modello numerico in grado di simulare la risposta dinamica di una parete a tre piani costituita da pannelli portanti a strati incrociati, nella quale sono state utilizzate connessioni innovative, rappresentate da staffe ad alta capacità dissipativa caratterizzate da una particolare forma ad "X": queste staffe sono resistenti a forze di trazione e a forze di taglio e sono state concepite per realizzare tutti i giunti sismici dell'edificio, con un tipo di collegamento unico in grado di massimizzare la capacità sismica di tutta la struttura, assicurando alta duttilità e comportamento allo schiacciamento trascurabile. Questa nuova connessione è stata studiata ed ottimizzata attraverso modellazione numerica; poi, il suo comportamento è stato convalidato attraverso test sperimentali. La connessione di tipo X-bracket, quando viene utilizzata per collegare pannelli CLT alle fondazioni, ai diaframmi, ai solai o anche reciprocamente, consente di raggiungere elevata dissipazione e duttilità anche quando vengono adottate grandi pareti in CLT senza giunzioni verticali. A tal proposito, è stata eseguita un'analisi dinamica incrementale su due diverse configurazioni della parete progettata, differenti per quantità di connessioni e per la presenza o meno di giunzioni verticali, allo scopo di valutare il valore del fattore di comportamento q, in funzione delle scelte progettuali e delle proprietà geometriche dell'edificio.

Abstract:

The increasing demand for more sustainable construction has led to the development of new structural systems that include wood as building material. Cross laminated timber (CLT) has been identified as a potential system to address this need and to provide alternative options in the range of low- to medium-rise construction. The appeal in using CLT as a shearwall is driven by the combination of the rigid panels and small dimension fasteners, which allows for significant energy dissipation in the structure. However, there is currently no reliable analytical model to accurately predict the behaviour of multi-segment CLT shearwalls. The current study aims to develop an analytical model capable of predicting the elastic and plastic phases associated with the behaviour of multi-panel CLT shearwalls. The model describes the wall behaviour as a function of the connectors’ properties in terms of stiffness, strength and ductility. This dependency means that the only input required in the model is the behavioural parameters of the connections. The proposed model contains six cases with a total of 36 different failure mechanisms. Two final wall behaviours were developed, and it was found that behaviour (i.e. single wall) could be achieved if the yielding in the hold-down occurred prior to yielding in the panel joints. Inversely, the other behaviour (i.e. coupled panels) was achieved if the yielding in the vertical joint occur prior to yielding in the hold-down. The analytical model was validated using a numerical model, and the results of the comparison showed very close match between the two models. The study proposed simplified design provisions with the aim to optimize the walls ductility (CP behaviour) or strength and stiffness (SW behaviour).

Abstract:

This paper examines CLT-steel hybrid systems at three, six, and nine storey heights to increase seismic force resistance compared to a plain wood system. CLT panels are used as infill in a steel moment frame combining the ductility of a steel moment frame system with a stiffness and light weight of CLT panels. This system allows for the combination of high strength and ductility of steel with high stiffness and light weight of timber. This thesis examines the seismic response of this type of hybrid seismic force resisting system (SFRS) in regions with moderate to high seismic hazard indices. A detailed non-linear model of a 2D infilled frame system and compared to the behavior of a similar plain steel frame at each height. Parametric analysis was performed determining the effect of the panels and the connection configuration, steel frame design, and panel configuration in a multi-bay system. Static pushover loading was applied alongside semi-static cyclic loading to allow a basis of comparison to future experimental tests. Dynamic analysis using ten ground motions linearly scaled to the uniform hazard spectra for Vancouver, Canada with a return period of 2% in 50 years as, 10% in 50 years, and 50% in 50 years to examine the effect of infill panels on the interstorey drift of the three, six, and nine storey. The ultimate and yield strength and drift capacity are determined and used to determine the overstrength and ductility factors as described in the National Building Code of Canada 2010.

Abstract:

The Communicative Approach in language teaching is based on a theory of language as communication. The objective of language teaching, according to this approach, is to develop what Hymes (1972) calls learners' communicative competence. The literature review on EFL primary, secondary, and post secondary teachers' practices in the classroom has shown teachers focusing on form and using traditional methods, e. g. GTM, ALM and TPR, and techniques, e. g. PPP. However, those studies did not examine teachers' practices, teachers' knowledge and the curriculum, including textbooks/materials,a ssessmenat nd teachert raining programmes,a ll at the samet ime and at one point in time. Thus, the purpose of this study is to take Kuwait as a case study of primary EFL to find out whether EFL primary teachers implement a CLTbased, learner-centred method in their classrooms, knowing that education is centralized in Kuwait, i. e. the curriculum, textbook/materials,a ssessmenat nd teacher training are provided by one authority: the Ministry of Education. To achieve this objective, first a classroom observation was conducted on twenty three primary EFL Kuwaiti female teachers using the COLT (Communicative Orientation of Language Teaching) Observation Scheme, with its four categories derived from the literature on CLT to find out whether the methodology used is communicative or not. Secondly, an examination of the curriculum document, textbook/materials,a ssessmenat nd teacher training programmes was conducted to find out whether they work in harmony towards the fulfilment of curriculum goals, i. e. to develop learners' communicative and linguistic competence in using English fluently and accurately. Finally, an interview was conducted on the same twenty three teachers to find out about teachers' knowledge and beliefs of CLT, its practicality, land their perception of their own practice. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the data indicated that teachers do not implement a CLT-based learner-centred method for various reasons, e.g. formfocused assessmenat nd textbooks, although teachers'i nterviews and the examination of teacher training programmes have shown teachers know CLT and were prepared to teach communicatively. Implications and recommendations of the study are made in the concluding chapter.

Abstract:

Är korslaminerat trä ett bra alternativ för påbyggnader? Studiens syfte är att utreda hur väl påbyggnader i CLT står sig som alternativ i konkurrens med andra metoder att ta fram nya bostäder inom tätort där ett behov av förtätning finns. Studien riktar sig till en eventuell byggherre och i första hand till uppdragsgivaren: AB Gotlandshem. Kvartert Höken 1 är uppfört i början på 1960-talet. De aktuella byggnaderna för en eventuell påbyggnad är tre hus om två våningsplan och källare. Dessa byggnader benämns: B, D och F. Bärande väggar i stommen är uppförda i varierande material. I studien har två väggar valts ut som särkilt intressanta. De undersöks närmare genom statiska beräkningar enligt EKS 9. Studien konstaterar att de har tillräcklig tryckhållfashet för att bära en påbyggnad. Studien undersöker även ekonomiska förutsättningar för en påbyggnad i CLT. Detta görs genom att särkostnader identifieras och jämförs. Givetvis är kostnaden för materialet en särkostnad när valet står mellan två material, men studien identifierar även produktionskostnader för montering av bjälklag och installationer som särkostnader. Den ekonomiska jämförelsen indikerar en möjlighet att göra en besparing vid ett val av CLT-bjälklag. Studien visar att det är möjligt att utföra en påbyggnad av hus B, D och F i kv. Höken 1. Dessutom visar det sig att CLT är ett gott alternativ ur ekonomisk synpunkt. Materialet har fördelar som medför rationell produktion. Det innebär att CLT kan vara en billigare lösning för en påbyggnad.
Is cross laminated timber a suitable building material for adding storeys to a building? The purpose of this study is to examine how good an alternative CLT makes in comparision with other methods of developing new homes in urban areas. This study aims to a property developer and primarily to the client: AB Gotlandshem. The block Höken 1 was built in the beginning of the 1960s. The buildings of current interest are three houses with two stories and basement. These buildings are designated: B, D and F. The load bearing structure is constructed in varying materials. Two walls has been selected as especially interesting. They are examined closer through static analysis accordnig to EKS 9. The study concludes that they are sturdy enough to carry an added storey. The study also examines the ecomonic premises for adding a storey made from CLT. Separate costs are identified and compared. Naturally is the materials cost a separate cost in the choice between two different materials, but the study also identifies costs for mounting subfloor construction and installations as separate costs. The economic comparision indicates a possibility to cut costs by choosing subfloor constructins of CLT. The study shows that it is possible to add a storey to house B, D and F. Furthermore is CLT a good alternative from an economic viewpoint. The material has advantages that results in rational production methods. From this follows that CLT may be a cheaper solution for adding a storey.

Abstract:

L’Italia è un paese a pericolosità sismica medio-alta e il patrimonio edilizio esistente è costituito gran parte da edifici progettati in epoche in cui la normativa vigente non teneva conto dell’azione sismica. È necessaria una riqualificazione dal punto di vista sismico degli edifici esistenti per poter ridurre i crolli e danni conseguenti a fenomeni sismici. Gli attuali metodi di miglioramento sismico presentano alcuni svantaggi, tra cui l’elevato costo, i lunghi tempi di realizzazione e conseguente interruzione d’uso della struttura per lunghi periodi di tempo. Nel seguente elaborato di tesi viene sperimentato un sistema di retrofit strutturale costituito da pannelli CLT e dissipatori meccanici ad attrito, applicabile a edifici intelaiati in calcestruzzo armato progettati per i soli carichi verticali. Il sistema testato si propone come una tecnica di retrofit strutturale economica, di rapido montaggio e che non interrompa l’utilizzo della struttura. Per l’attività di sperimentazione si sono realizzati due telai in scala reale. Il primo è stato testato in campo elastico senza tamponamento e, successivamente, dotato di tamponatura e testato in campo elasto-plastico. Il secondo telaio dotato di tamponatura e di sistema di rinforzo strutturale viene testato in campo elasto-plastico. Vengono poi confrontati i risultati in termini di variazione di rigidezza, variazione di resistenza massima e variazione di capacità dissipativa. Oltre alle prove elencate vengono eseguite anche tutte le prove necessarie alla caratterizzazione meccanica dei materiali impiegati.

Abstract:

Against a backdrop of ongoing educational reforms that seek to introduce Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) in Albanian primary and secondary state schools, Albanian teachers, among others, are officially required to use communication-based textbooks in their classes. Authorities in a growing number of countries that are seeking to improve and westernise their educational systems are also using communication-based textbooks as agents of change. Behind these actions, there is the commonly held belief that textbooks can be used to support teacher learning as they provide a visible framework teachers can follow. Communication-based textbooks are used in thousands of EFL classrooms around the world to help teachers to “fully understand and routinize change” (Hutchinson and Torres, 1994:323). However, empirical research on the role materials play in the classroom, and in particular the role of textbook as an agent of change, is still very little, and what does exist is rather inconclusive. This study aims to fulfill this gap. It is predominately a qualitative investigation into how and why four Albanian EFL teachers use Western teaching resources in their classes. Aiming at investigating the decision-making processes that teachers go through in their teaching, and specifically at investigating the relationship between Western-published textbooks, teachers’ decision making, and teachers’ classroom delivery, the current study contributes to an extensive discussion on the development of communicative L2 teaching concepts and methods, teacher decision making, as well as a growing discussion on how best to make institutional reforms effective, particularly in East-European ex-communist countries and in other developing countries. Findings from this research indicate that, prompted by the content of Western-published textbooks, the four research participants, who had received little formal training in CLT teaching, accommodated some communicative teaching behaviours into their teaching. The use of communicative textbooks, however, does not seem to account for radical, methodological changes in teachers’ practices. Teacher cognitions based on teachers’ previous learning experience are likely to act as a lens through which teachers judge classroom realities. As such, they shape, to a great degree, the decisions teachers make regarding the use of Western-published textbooks in their classes.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to conduct a qualitative analysis of monolingual (Swedish) and bilingual (Swedish and Turkish) children’s production of nouns and verbs in a newly developed vocabulary test (CLTs) and to discuss the results using previous research as a starting point. The different categories and the material which form the basis of this qualitative analysis are taken from an ongoing Swedish research study on vocabulary testing: Cross Linguistic Lexical Tasks (CLTs). This research is an extension of the international project COST Action IS0408. In all, there are responses from 115 children, 72 monolingual and 43 bilingual, of which only the Swedish results are analysed. On the whole, test scores show an age-related improvement of expressive vocabulary for both groups, even though the bilinguals lag behind their monolingual age peers. The bilingual children’s improvement is not as evident, with the five-year-olds’ production of nouns standing out. There is a higher number of wrong answers or no answers (don’t know), as well as a preponderance of gestures and innovations/neologisms in the bilinguals. Gestures make it possible to ascertain whether a child knows the meaning and use of a target word even though he or she is not capable of producing it verbally. Answers in the category of innovation/neologism show that the children know more about a word than an assessment of lexical ability using only right and wrong answers could demonstrate. In the monolingual group there are more instances of perceptual confusion, semantic confusion and hypernyms. The other categories do not show corresponding differences between the two groups. As the bilingual children’s responses are analysed only in terms of Swedish vocabulary, it is not possible to assess their total lexical knowledge. Keywords: CLTs (Cross Linguistic Lexical Tasks), expressive vocabulary, bilingualism, mental lexicon, vocabulary depth, vocabulary test, language exposure, Swedish, Turkish. Syftet med föreliggande studie är att med hjälp av ett nyutvecklat ordförrådstest (CLTs), göra en kvalitativ analys av substantiv- och verbproduktionen hos enspråkiga svenska och flerspråkiga svensk-turkiska 4;0-6;11-åringar och med utgångspunkt i tidigare forskning diskutera resultaten. Analysen görs utifrån ett antal uppställda kategorier som i likhet med det analyserade empiriska materialet hämtats från det pågående svenska forskningsarbetet med ordförrådstestet Cross Linguistic Lexical Tasks (CLTs). Detta arbete är en fortsättning på det internationella projektet COST Action IS0408. Sammanlagt ingår testsvar från 115 barn, 72 enspråkigt svenska och 43 flerspråkigt svensk-turkiska, varav endast resultat från deltesten på svenska analyserats. En förbättring av det expressiva ordförrådet ses med stigande ålder hos både de enspråkiga och flerspråkiga med en påtaglig eftersläpning hos de svensk-turkiska barnen. Hos de sistnämnda är förbättringen med stigande ålder inte heller lika tydlig då 5-åringarna utmärker sig i substantivproduktion. Ett större antal felsvar och inget svar/vet ej ses i den flerspråkiga gruppen liksom en övervikt av antal gester/pekningar och innovationer/nyordbildningar. Gester ger information om att barnet besitter kunskap om målordets innebörd och funktion trots att det inte kan presentera det avsedda målordet verbalt. Svaren i kategorin innovation/nyordbildning visar att barnen vet mer om målordet än vad en bedömning av lexikal förmåga enbart med rätt- och felsvar kan klargöra. I den enspråkiga gruppen förekommer jämförelsevis fler perceptuella förvirringar, semantiska förvirringar och hyperonymer/överordningar. Övriga kategorier uppvisar inte motsvarande lika stora skillnader mellan grupperna. Då endast det svenska ordförrådet hos de flerspråkiga barnen analyserats kan ingen säker tolkning göras av deras fullständiga lexikala kunskap. Nyckelord: CLTs (Cross Linguistic Lexical Tasks), expressivt ordförråd, flerspråkighet, mentalt lexikon, orddjup, ordförrådstest, språkexponering, svenska, turkiska.

Abstract:

XLam New Zealand Limited is the first company in New Zealand to manufacture Cross Laminated Timber (CLT); structural timber panels used for roof, floor and wall diaphragms in commercial and residential buildings. Commissioning of the factory began in April 2012, but it is not yet fully complete. The panels are currently being produced discretely rather than in a production line, and some plant is yet to be installed. It is important that procedures and control documents are implemented from the beginning in a new factory. This Project provides these, as well as recommendations to improve the long term production of CLT in New Zealand by developing: 1. A Quality Assurance (QA) Framework for the CLT manufacturing process. 2. A CLT Design Guide to aid engineers and architects in structural design using CLT. 3. A Health and Safety Framework to control hazards and develop a culture of health and safety within the factory. 4. A 10 year financial forecast model to analyse possible future expansion options for XLam. This Project has been prepared in partial fulfilment of the 2012 Master of Engineering Management (MEM) degree at the University of Canterbury – ENMG 606: Project.

Abstract:

I takt med en ökad miljömedvetenhet har träbyggnation börjat premieras allt mer och sedan lagändringen 1994 som innebar att det blev tillåtet att uppföra höga hus med trästomme har utvecklingen snabbt gått framåt. Att korsvis bygga upp skikt av brädor och sammanfoga dessa till element har visat sig skapa en produkt med hög hållfasthet och låg vikt som är idealisk som stommaterial vid byggnation av stora och höga hus i trä. Dessa element har många namn men kallas ofta korslimmat trä och kommer i arbetet benämnas CLT, cross-laminated timber. Dess användning har ökat markant i Sverige och Europa de senaste decennierna och än ses ingen stagnation på efterfrågan. Denna rapport behandlar relevanta teoretiska områden som måste tas i beaktning vid branddimensionering som exempelvis brandförloppet i en brandcell samt hur brandsäkerhetsklasser och brandtekniska byggnadsklasser bestäms och fastställs. Dimensioneringsmetoder av laster och hållfasthet i både brottgräns och i brandfallet förklaras genomgående för skapa en tydlig bild av hela branddimensioneringsprocessen. Brist på direkt information om hur hållfastheten av resttvärsnitten ska behandlas och beräknas har gjort arbetet utmanande men med hjälp från Maija Tiainen från Sweco structures Helsingforskontor har arbetet kunnat färdigställas och bli fullständigt. Den viktigaste delen i rapporten är dock själva inbränningen och förkolningen av elementen som beräknas med hjälp av två olika metoder. Den ena återfinns i den europeiska standarden Eurokod 5: del 1-2 och den andra, som baseras på den absolut senaste forskningen gällande träkonstruktioner och brand, är hämtad från handboken Brandsäkra trähus version 3. Den senare metoden kommer ligga till grund för en uppdatering av Eurokod 5 i framtiden. För att kunna jämföra de två metoderna och ge en nyanserad bild av dessa valdes fyra väggtyper ut som beräknades med samma förutsättningar. Det vill säga skyddade med två lager gips och utsatta för en 90 minuters ensidig standardbrand. Resultatet visade på skillnader mellan metoderna där en tydlig och definitiv sådan var storleken på resttvärsnittet då det icke lastupptagande skiktet, , visade sig vara mycket större i beräkningarna enligt metoden i Brandsäkra trähus version 3. På grund av elementens uppbyggnad, korsvis lagda skikt där endast vartannat skikt är lastbärande, betyder detta inte nödvändigtvis att det resulterar i en skillnad gällande bärförmåga i brandfallet mellan de två metoderna. Trots att metoden i Brandsäkra trähus version 3 är mer konservativ gällande bärförmåga och leder till ett mindre resttvärsnitt efter brand anser författarna att denna metod bör användas i väntan på en inarbetning av metoden i Eurokoden. Detta då den till skillnad från Eurokoden är utformad och framtagen för att kunna behandla CLT och då säkerheten är viktigast i sammanhanget måste brandens ökade påverkan på materialet enligt den senaste forskningen tas på allvar och tvärsnittet dimensioneras därefter.
In recent years, a growing environmental awareness have led to an increase in timber buildings and since the 1994 amendment that made it possible to build tall houses with timber structures the progress in the field have seen an substantial increase. To build an element of perpendicularly placed layers of solid-sawn lumber have proven to be an effective way to obtain a product with good strength-to-weight ratio that is ideal for use in tall timber buildings. These elements go under a lot of different names but are often referred to as cross-laminated timber and will be called CLT in this report. The use of this product have these past decades increased substantially both in Sweden and in Europe and the demand does not seem to stagnate nor decrease in the near future. The report is comprised of relevant theoretical sections that must be taken into account when designing a structures fire protection such as the development of a fire in fire compartment, how to define and determine a structures class of fire resistance and hence required fire protection time for said structure. The basis of design in regards to loads and compressive/flexural strength of the material is thoroughly explained in order to account for the whole fire protection design processes. The lack of information regarding compressive and flexural strength of the residual cross-section was challenging but with the help from Maija Tiainen from Sweco structures Helsinki office the report could be completed. The most important part of the report is the theory and calculation with regards to the charring depth which is calculated by two different methods. The first one is presented in the European standard Eurocode 5: part 1-2 and the other one, that is based on the latest scientific knowledge with regards to timber structures and fire, is found in the technical guide Brandsäkra trähus version 3. The aforementioned method will form the basis for the upcoming update of Eurocode 5. In order to be able to compare the two methods four wall types was chosen and designed based on the same conditions. Namely protected by two layers of gypsum plasterboards as fire protection and exposed to a 90 minutes one-sided standard fire. The result showed differences between the methods where a clear difference was the size of the residual cross-section due to the fact that the zero-strength layer, , was notably larger when calculating with the method presented in Brandsäkra trähus version 3. This does not necessarily affect the elements bearing capacity when calculating with the two different methods due to the elements perpendicularly placed layers where only every other layer is load bearing. Although the method presented in Brandsäkra trähus version 3 are more conservative with regards to bearing capacity and will lead to a smaller residual cross-section the authors of this report recommend the use of said method pending incorporation into the Eurocode. The motivation for this suggestion is that the method is designed to explicitly handle CLT and since safety is the most important aspect in this context it is vital to acknowledge the apparent increased affect from a fire on the material according to the latest scientific knowledge and design the cross-section accordingly.
