The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of material and geometric nonlinearities occurring in beams, columns and walls of RC frame-wall structural systems when undergoing severe ground excitations. For this purpose, a low-rise RC building is considered with and without walls, and the joining beams and columns are designed with the strong-column weak-beam concept. The dimensions, material properties and the reinforcement amounts are calculated in accordance with the values suggested in design codes. Each structure is analyzed for various levels of applied vertical force and change in wall stiffness
where the effect of geometric nonlinearity is considered for each case. Force formulation frame elements with spreading inelasticity over the span are used for the modelling of each beam, column and wall. The coupling of the section forces is obtained by the fibre discretization of the section into several material points. Each section is divided into confined and unconfined regions and appropriate material properties are used for concrete and steel for cyclic loading. Both static pushover and dynamic analyses are performed in order to replicate the worst case scenario for a possible earthquake. From this study, it is concluded that the beams and columns of a frame-wall structural system should be designed carefully for load redistributions resulting from the yielding of the wall in the case of a strong earthquake, thus the design codes should address this situation for both in the retrofit of existing frame buildings with walls and in the construction of new frame-wall type buildings.

A unique combination of properties makes aluminium one of the most desirable materials in many construction sectors including façade industry. Aluminium window walls as a façade system provide resistance against wind load and are decisive elements in the performance of the building envelope. In considering their complex functions, they are subjected to numerous criteria and continuing research and improvement. Window walls are commonly made of glass supported by aluminium framing members, and occupy a considerable share of the building cost. The aluminium frames of window walls (comprised of heads, sills, and mullions) transfer the wind loads from glass panels to the aluminium sub-frames (comprised of sub-heads and sub-sills). The sub-frames then transfer the loads to the slab through the bolt connections. Under this loading condition, the aluminium sub-heads (at the top of the system) are the dominante wind load bearing elements, and are prone to bearing failure due to their long flange length. This phenomenon of bearing failure has never been researched in the past. To address this gap, the structural performance of aluminium sub-heads subjected to concentrated load was investigated in this study using comprehensive experimental and numerical studies. Furthermore, accurate design rules were developed to predict the bearing capacities of aluminium sub-heads. Two types of typical sub-head sections, known as C-shaped sub-heads and sub-heads with removable beads, were used in the experimental study. The main difference between these two sections is that the later included two parts (the base and the bead) which can facilitate effective installation and assembly of façade panels. Two series of experimental tests were conducted to investigate and evaluate the bearing behaviour of the aluminium C-shaped sub-heads and the sub-heads with removable beads. Four C-shaped sub-head sections and six sub-head with removable bead sections were tested subjected to bearing loads considering different loading and boundary conditions as well as different bearing widths. The governing modes of failure were found to be yielding and fracture at the web-to-flange junction, as a result of the bending of the cantilever flange. Following experimental tests, finite element models were developed to further investigate the bearing behaviour of the aluminium sub-heads. The general-purpose software ABAQUS, with implicit solver, was used to simulate the bearing behaviour of aluminium sub-heads. The models were validated using the experimental results and a good agreement was achieved in terms of the ultimate strengths, the load-deflection responses and the failure modes. Subsequently, parametric studies were performed using validated models to investigate a wide range of aluminium sub-head sections with varying thicknesses, flange widths, loading conditions, and bearing widths. Failure of aluminium sub-heads in the window walls under wind loading bear strong resemblance to the most prevalent failure mode in the cold-formed steel stud-to-track connection of a Light Gauge Steel (LSF) wall, which is the failure of the track under concentrated load. Since current aluminium standards do not have design criteria to predict the bearing strength of aluminium sub-head sections subjected to out-of-plane forces in window walls, the results acquired from this research were compared with the nominal bearing strengths predicted by the currently available cold-formed steel design rules (the North American Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Structural Framing (AISI S240, 2015), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (TI 809-07, 1998), and Steel Stud Manufacturers Association (SSMA, 2000)) for the tracks in the stud walls. As a result of the comparisons, weaknesses in the current design standards were identified. Hence, based on the experimental and numerical results, new design rules were proposed which accurately predict the bearing capacities of aluminium sub-head sections. The findings of this research demonstrated that the proposed equations for estimating the ultimate bearing capacities of aluminium sub-head sections are reliable and in precise agreement with the experimental and numerical results.

The worldwide housing shortage has stimulated a search for appropriate, easy, fast and cost-effective new ways of wall construction. Among many technologies found to have promise is mortarless technology using dry-stack interlocking bricks/blocks. This thesis is about such mortarless walling technology and in particular: how to improve wall-construction flexibility, the effects of brick irregularities on wall alignment accuracy and wall behaviour (stiffness, strength) when subject to lateral forces. The flexibility of mortarless technology (MT) has been enhanced by the development of new bricks (centre-half bat and tee brick): the introduction of closer bricks led to the formation of two new bonds (patterns) namely Shokse and Lijuja bonds. It is now possible to construct more than half-brick-thick walls, to attach more than half-brickwide piers (buttresses) onto walls, and, using special bricks, to construct polygonal and curved walls using interlocking bricks. Three methods (theoretical modeling, physical experiments and computer simulation) were used to analyze the effects of brick imperfections on wall alignment accuracy. Theoretical analysis confirmed that brick moulders should concentrate on achieving parallel top and bottom faces rather than achieving true square-ness. Physical column assembly compared three brick-laying strategies namely: “random”, “reversing” and “replace”. The columns assembled using the “reversing” and “replace” strategies realized alignment improvement factors of 1.6 and 2.9 respectively over “random” strategy. The research also revealed that grooving, to prevent bricks making contact near their centre lines, improved column alignment by factor 2.13 and stiffness by factor 2.0, thus allowing construction of longer and higher walls without strengthening measures. In order to attain alignment accuracy in accordance with BS 5628-3:2005 in a dry-stack mortarless wall, this research recommends using full bricks with top and bottom surface irregularities not exceeding ±0.5mm for un-grooved bricks, and up-to ±0.9mm for grooved bricks. Further analysis was undertaken with respect to resource-use implications (cement, water, soil) of employing MT. Using MT will save 50% of wall construction cost and 50% cement consumption, which ultimately will reduce 40% of carbon emissions.

The wall design equations available in major codes of practice (e.g. AS3600 and ACI318) are intended for the design of normal strength concrete load bearing walls supported at top and bottom only. These codes fail to recognise any contribution to load capacity from restraints on the side edges. They also fail to give guidance on the applicability of the equations to high strength concrete. Further, they do not consider slender walls. In many situations walls have side edges restrained and are composed of high strength concrete with high slenderness ratios. The recognition of these factors in the codes would result in thinner walls and consequently savings in construction costs. In this thesis, the focus is on the development of a design formula and new design methods for axially loaded reinforced concrete wall panels. The design of walls having side restraints and being composed of high strength concrete is given particular attention. An experimental program has been undertaken to obtain data for the derivation of applicable formulae and to verify the analytical methods developed herein. Note that, the test results and other data available in published literature have also been used to develop the design formula. The formula encompasses effective length, eccentricity and slenderness ratio factors and is proposed for normal and high strength concrete walls simply supported at top and bottom only (one-way) and simply supported on all four sides (two-way). The major portion of the experimental program focuses on a series of normal and high strength concrete walls simply supported at top and bottom only (one-way), and simply supported on all four sides (two-way) with eccentric axial loading. The behaviour of the test panels is noted, particularly the difference between the normal and high strength concrete panels. A Layer Finite Element Method (LFEM) is used as an analytical tool for walls in two-way action. The LFEM gives comparable results to the test data and the proposed design formula. As part of the research, a program named WASTABT has also been developed to implement a more accurate analytical method involving the instability analysis of two-way action walls. WASTABT is proven to be a useful design tool in situations where the walls have (i) various reinforcement ratio in one or two layers; (ii) composed of normal or high strength concrete; (iii) various eccentricity.

Although rice straw and other grains have been used in building since pre-history, in the past two decades, there has been a move to utilize this rapidly renewable, locally available, agricultural byproduct as part of the sustainable construction movement. Up to this point, this has been done by simply stacking up the full straw bales. Stak Block, invented by Oryzatech, Inc., is a modular, interlocking block made of a composite of rice straw and binding agent that serves as an evolution in straw construction. This study investigates the feasibility of using these Stak Blocks as a structural system. The report was divided into four main parts: material testing, development of effective construction detailing, full-scale physical shear wall testing, and a comparison with wood framed shear walls. The first section investigated the feasibility of using the Stak Blocks in a load-bearing wall application. Constitutive properties of the composite straw material such as yield strength and elastic stiffness were determined and then compared to conventional straw bale. Next, the decision was made to prestress the walls to create a more effective structural system. Various construction detailing iterations were evaluated upon the full-scale shear wall testing using a pseudo-static cyclic loading protocol. Finally, the available ductility of the prestressed Stak Block walls in a lateral force resisting application is quantified along with an approximation of potential design shear forces. It was determined that the Stak Block material performed satisfactorily in gravity and lateral force resisting applications, in some respects better than conventional wood-framed construction, and has great potential as a seismically-resistant building material.

The simplified wall design formulae specified in the Australian (AS3600) and American (ACI318) concrete standards are intended for the design of normal strength concrete load bearing walls supported at top and bottom only. These practical codes fail to recognise any contribution to load capacity from restraints on all four sides, and do not provide recommendations and design equations for walls with openings (window and door). Also the current code methods are not applicable to the design of walls with high strength concrete (f’c>65MPa) or high slenderness ratios (H/tw>30). In many practical situations wall panels are restrained on all four sides and have openings. In other cases, high strength concrete walls may have reduced their thickness leading to a high slenderness ratio. The recognition and inclusion of such factors lacking in the current codes would result in more reliable and applicable design methods. A total of forty-seven (47) reinforced concrete wall panels were tested in the laboratory in three stages. Seventeen (17) walls with one and two openings in one-way action were tested in Stage one and eighteen (18) identical walls in two-way action were tested in Stage two. In the first two stages, the test panels had slenderness ratios between 30 and 40 and were of higher concrete strengths from 50MPa to 100MPa, and were subjected to a uniformly distributed axial load with an eccentricity of tw/6. In addition to highlighting the experimental set-up, typical crack patterns, failure modes, load- deflection behaviour and ultimate loads were also reported in some detail. Finally twelve (12) wall panels were tested in Stage three to investigate the behaviour of concrete wall panels with various opening configurations including wide window and door type with asymmetric location. The test panels had a constant slenderness ratio of 30 and a concrete strength of 65MPa. The same eccentric loading was applied and the panels were tested in both one- and two-way action. Utilising these test results, an empirical formula predicting the ultimate load of walls with openings was proposed. A favourable comparison between the predicted results and the test data (including the present and other experimental test results) indicates that the proposed formula is accurate and reliable for use in design. A numerical study was also undertaken to verify the effectiveness of the Layered Finite Element Method (LFEM) in predicting the failure characteristics of reinforced concrete walls with openings. The LFEM was used to model, six (6) normal strength concrete walls tested by Saheb and Desayi and thirty-five (35) concrete wall panels with openings tested in this research. The ultimate loads, load-deflection responses up to failure, deflected shapes and crack patterns predicted by the LFEM were compared favourably to the experimental observations. The comparative study also confirmed that the LEFM is a reliable and effective numerical modelling technique for determining ultimate load capacity of high strength concrete walls with high slenderness ratio and various opening configurations. Upon verification, the LFEM was then used as an effective tool to undertake three parametric studies, on a wide range of opening configurations, slenderness ratios and concrete strengths. The purpose of these parametric studies was threefold: (1) to provide missing data that were not covered by the code methods and existing empirical formulae due to their limited scope; (2) to conduct LFEM simulations which helped to reduce the number of labour intensive and very costly laboratory tests; (3) to validate the performance of the proposed formula in predicting the load carrying capacity of wall panels with openings. In total, 20, 64 and 108 wall models were analysed respectively for three parametric studies. The study confirms the accuracy and reliability of both the LFEM and the proposed formula. To this end, both the LFEM and the proposed formula can be used as an effective tool for the analysis and design of normal and high strength concrete walls with openings and high slenderness ratios performing in both one-and two- way action.

Concrete block masonry is a common building material used worldwide, including Canada. Reinforced masonry buildings, designed according to the requirements of recent building codes, may result in seismically safe structures. However, unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings designed and constructed prior to the development of modern seismic design codes are extremely vulnerable to seismic induced damage. Replacement of older seismically deficient buildings with new and seismically designed structures is economically not feasible in most cases. Therefore, seismic retrofitting of deficient buildings remains to be a viable seismic risk mitigation strategy. Masonry load bearing walls are the most important elements of such buildings, potentially serving as lateral force resisting systems. A seismic retrofit research program is currently underway at the University of Ottawa, consisting of experimental and analytical components for developing new seismic retrofit systems for unreinforced masonry walls. The research project presented in this thesis forms part of the same overall research program. The experimental component includes design, construction, retrofit and testing of large-scale load bearing masonry walls. Two approaches were developed as retrofit methodologies, both involving reinforcing the walls for strength and deformability. The first approach involves the use of ordinary deformed steel reinforcement as internally added reinforcement to attain reinforced masonry behaviour. The second approach involves the use of internally placed post-tensioning tendons to attain prestressed masonry behaviour. The analytical component of research consists of constructing a Finite Element computer model for nonlinear analysis of walls and conducting a parametric study to assess the significance of retrofit design parameters. The results have led to the development of a conceptual retrofit design framework for the new techniques developed, while utilizing the seismic provisions of the National Building Code of Canada and the relevant CSA material standards.

In recent times, light gauge steel framed (LSF) structures, such as cold-formed steel wall systems, are increasingly used, but without a full understanding of their fire performance. Traditionally the fire resistance rating of these load-bearing LSF wall systems is based on approximate prescriptive methods developed based on limited fire tests. Very often they are limited to standard wall configurations used by the industry. Increased fire rating is provided simply by adding more plasterboards to these walls. This is not an acceptable situation as it not only inhibits innovation and structural and cost efficiencies but also casts doubt over the fire safety of these wall systems. Hence a detailed fire research study into the performance of LSF wall systems was undertaken using full scale fire tests and extensive numerical studies. A new composite wall panel developed at QUT was also considered in this study, where the insulation was used externally between the plasterboards on both sides of the steel wall frame instead of locating it in the cavity. Three full scale fire tests of LSF wall systems built using the new composite panel system were undertaken at a higher load ratio using a gas furnace designed to deliver heat in accordance with the standard time temperature curve in AS 1530.4 (SA, 2005). Fire tests included the measurements of load-deformation characteristics of LSF walls until failure as well as associated time-temperature measurements across the thickness and along the length of all the specimens. Tests of LSF walls under axial compression load have shown the improvement to their fire performance and fire resistance rating when the new composite panel was used. Hence this research recommends the use of the new composite panel system for cold-formed LSF walls. The numerical study was undertaken using a finite element program ABAQUS. The finite element analyses were conducted under both steady state and transient state conditions using the measured hot and cold flange temperature distributions from the fire tests. The elevated temperature reduction factors for mechanical properties were based on the equations proposed by Dolamune Kankanamge and Mahendran (2011). These finite element models were first validated by comparing their results with experimental test results from this study and Kolarkar (2010). The developed finite element models were able to predict the failure times within 5 minutes. The validated model was then used in a detailed numerical study into the strength of cold-formed thin-walled steel channels used in both the conventional and the new composite panel systems to increase the understanding of their behaviour under nonuniform elevated temperature conditions and to develop fire design rules. The measured time-temperature distributions obtained from the fire tests were used. Since the fire tests showed that the plasterboards provided sufficient lateral restraint until the failure of LSF wall panels, this assumption was also used in the analyses and was further validated by comparison with experimental results. Hence in this study of LSF wall studs, only the flexural buckling about the major axis and local buckling were considered. A new fire design method was proposed using AS/NZS 4600 (SA, 2005), NAS (AISI, 2007) and Eurocode 3 Part 1.3 (ECS, 2006). The importance of considering thermal bowing, magnified thermal bowing and neutral axis shift in the fire design was also investigated. A spread sheet based design tool was developed based on the above design codes to predict the failure load ratio versus time and temperature for varying LSF wall configurations including insulations. Idealised time-temperature profiles were developed based on the measured temperature values of the studs. This was used in a detailed numerical study to fully understand the structural behaviour of LSF wall panels. Appropriate equations were proposed to find the critical temperatures for different composite panels, varying in steel thickness, steel grade and screw spacing for any load ratio. Hence useful and simple design rules were proposed based on the current cold-formed steel structures and fire design standards, and their accuracy and advantages were discussed. The results were also used to validate the fire design rules developed based on AS/NZS 4600 (SA, 2005) and Eurocode Part 1.3 (ECS, 2006). This demonstrated the significant improvements to the design method when compared to the currently used prescriptive design methods for LSF wall systems under fire conditions. In summary, this research has developed comprehensive experimental and numerical thermal and structural performance data for both the conventional and the proposed new load bearing LSF wall systems under standard fire conditions. Finite element models were developed to predict the failure times of LSF walls accurately. Idealized hot flange temperature profiles were developed for non-insulated, cavity and externally insulated load bearing wall systems. Suitable fire design rules and spread sheet based design tools were developed based on the existing standards to predict the ultimate failure load, failure times and failure temperatures of LSF wall studs. Simplified equations were proposed to find the critical temperatures for varying wall panel configurations and load ratios. The results from this research are useful to both structural and fire engineers and researchers. Most importantly, this research has significantly improved the knowledge and understanding of cold-formed LSF loadbearing walls under standard fire conditions.

This thesis has investigated the fire performance and design of light gauge cold-formed steel frame walls under realistic fires which occur in modern buildings. It examined the appropriateness of using the standard fire curve to represent the modern building fires in full scale laboratory tests and developed suitable realistic design fire curves. Experimental and numerical studies of light gauge steel frame walls using realistic fires led to the verification of existing fire design rules based on Australian and International standards and the development of simplified fire design rules. This research has significantly improved the understanding of fire severity in modern buildings and developed valuable fire design tools for light gauge steel frame walls used in these buildings.

Load bearing Light Gauge Steel Frame (LSF) wall system is a cold-formed steel structure made of cold-formed steel studs and lined on both sides by gypsum plasterboards. In recent times its use and demand in the building industry has significantly increased due to their advantages such as light weight, acoustic performance, aesthetic quality of finished wall, ease of fabrication and rapid constructability. Fire Resistant Rating (FRR) of these walls is given more attention due to the increasing number and severity of fire related accidents in residential buildings that have caused significant loss of lives and properties. LSF walls are commonly made of conventional lipped channel section studs lined with fire resistant gypsum plasterboards on both sides. Recently, greater attention has been given to innovative cold-formed steel sections such as hollow flange sections due to their improved structural efficiency. The reliance on expensive and time consuming full scale fire tests, and the complexity involved in predicting the fire performance of LSF wall studs due to their thin-walled nature and their exposure to non-uniform temperature distributions in fire on one side, have been the main barriers in using different cold-formed steel stud sections in LSF wall systems. This research overcomes this and proposes the new hollow flange section studs as vertical load bearing elements in LSF wall systems based on a thorough investigation into their fire (structural and thermal) performance using full scale fire tests and extensive numerical studies. Test wall frames made of hollow flange section studs were lined with fire resistant gypsum plasterboards on both sides, and were subjected to increasing temperatures as given by the standard fire curve in AS 1530.4 (SA, 2005) on one side. Both uninsulated and cavity insulated walls were tested with varying load ratios from 0.2 to 0.6. LiteSteel Beam (LSB), a welded hollow flange section, which was available in the industry was used to fabricate the test wall panels. Axial deformations and lateral displacements along with the time-temperature profiles of the steel stud and plasterboard surfaces were measured. Five full scale tests were performed, and the test results were compared with those of LSF walls made of lipped channel section studs, which proved the superior fire performance of LSF walls made of hollow flange section studs. The reasons for the superior fire performance are presented in this thesis. The effects of load ratio and plasterboard joint on the fire performance of LSF walls and temperature distribution across the stud cross-sections were identified. Improved plasterboard joints were also proposed. The elevated temperature mechanical properties of cold-formed steels appear to vary significantly as shown by past research. LSBs were manufactured using a combined cold-forming and electric resistance welding process. Elevated temperature mechanical properties of LSB plate elements are unknown. Therefore an experimental study was undertaken to determine the elevated temperature mechanical properties of LSB plate elements. Based on the test results and previous researchers' proposed values, suitable predictive equations were proposed for the elastic modulus and yield strength reduction factors and stress-strain models of LSB web and flange elements. Uninsulated and insulated 2D finite element models of LSF walls were developed in SAFIR using GiD as a pre- and post processor to predict the thermal performance under fire conditions. A new set of apparent thermal conductivity values was proposed for gypsum plasterboards for this purpose. These models were then validated by comparing the time-temperature profiles of stud and plasterboard surfaces with corresponding experimental results. The developed models were then used to conduct an extensive parametric study. Uninsulated and insulated LSF walls with superior fire performances were also proposed. Finite element models of tested walls were also developed and analysed under both transient and steady state conditions to predict the structural performance under fire conditions using ABAQUS. In these analyses, the measured elevated temperature properties of LSB plate elements were used to improve their accuracy. Finite element analysis results were compared with fire test results to validate the developed models. Following this, a detailed finite element analysis based study was conducted to investigate the effects of stud dimensions such as web depths and thicknesses, elevated temperature mechanical properties, types of wall configurations, stud section profiles, plasterboards to stud connections and realistic design fire curves on the fire performance of LSF walls. It was also shown that the commonly used critical temperature method is not appropriate in determining the FRR of LSF walls. Gunalan and Mahendran's (2013) design rules based on AS/NZS 4600 (SA, 2005), and Eurocode 3 Part 1.3 (ECS, 2006) were further improved to predict the structural capacity of hollow flange section studs subjected to non-uniform temperature distributions caused by fire on one side. Two improved methods were proposed and they predicted the FRRs with a reasonable accuracy. Direct Strength Method (DSM) based design rules were then established and they also predicted the FRR of LSF walls made of hollow flange section studs accurately. Finally, spread sheet based design tools were developed based on the proposed design rules. Overall, this research has developed comprehensive fire performance data of LSF walls made of hollow flange section studs, accurate design rules to predict their fire rating and associated design tools. Thus it has enabled the use of innovative hollow flange sections as studs in LSF wall systems. Structural and fire engineers can now use these tools to undertake complex calculations of determining the structural capacities and fire rating of hollow flange section studs subjected to non-uniform temperature distributions, and successfully design them for safe and efficient use in LSF walls of residential and office buildings.

With increased demand for housing in Sweden's metropolitan regions, it is of greatimportance to meet the need and build more. The supply of housing is governed byaccess to land and what it costs to build apartment houses. In Sweden, there is ahistory of cartel formation of contractors and at the turn of the millennium, thegovernment invested funds to create increased price transparency in theconstruction sector. Based on this, the purpose of this project is to investigate how itis possible to today produce housing more economically, while maintaining quality.The study is limited to the purchase of prefabricated hollow core and load-bearingwall elements in both concrete and wood. The goal is to be able to compare prices ofthese construction parts between Swedish and foreign suppliers. The foreignsuppliers are limited to the ones operating in the Baltic countries and Poland. Thus, itmust be investigated which of the wooden or concrete frames is most economicallyprofitable, what opportunities there are with international purchases of frameelements and what should be taken into account in international purchases.
I och med ökad efterfrågan på bostäder i Sveriges storstadsregioner är det av vikt atti samma takt öka utbudet. Utbudet styrs av tillgång till mark samt vad det kostar attbygga. I Sverige finns en historia av kartellbildning av byggföretag och regeringensatte vid millennieskiftet in medel för att skapa ökad pristransparens inombyggsektorn. Med bakgrund i detta är syftet med examensarbetet att undersöka hurdet idag går att producera bostäder mer ekonomiskt, med bibehållen kvalitet iåtanke. Studien avgränsas till inköp av prefabricerade håldäck och bärandeväggelement i betong respektive trä. Målet är att kunna jämföra priser av dessakonstruktionsdelar mellan svenska och utländska leverantörer. De utländskaleverantörerna avgränsas till att verka inom baltikum och Polen. Således ska detutredas vad utav trä- eller betongstomme som är mest ekonomiskt lönsamt, vilkamöjligheter som finns med internationella inköp av stomelement samt vad som börtas hänsyn till vid internationella inköp.De risker som finns kopplade till just internationella inköp är bland andra risk attprodukten inte stämmer överens med vad som avtalats och leveransförseningar.Logistikrisker begränsas med hjälp av avtal reglerade utifrån det internationellaregelverket Incoterms. Det finns även politiska och valutarelaterade risker medinternationell handel.ISO 9000 är ett kvalitetsledningssystem som ligger till grund för att företag ochorganisationer ska kunna säkerställa att kvaliteten i deras arbete svarar upp motkundens behov och krav. ISO 14000 samlar standarder inom miljöledningssystem.Intervjuer av sex svenska och fem utländska leverantörer om pris och kvalitetsarbetegav intressanta resultat för studien. Samtliga utländska leverantörer är certifierademed ISO 9001 samt ISO 14001. Två av sex svenska bolag har ISO9001-certifieringen och hälften ISO 14001-certifieringen. Att köpa prefabriceradebetongelement är enligt studien inte ekonomiskt lönsammare i utlandet, det är detdäremot att köpa träelement.

The matter of this diploma thesis is a static storage tank for petroleum substances, the study of a solution for appropriate shape of shell and its effort to dihedral for roofing, and the study of effect of the storage of inner roofs walls of the tank to the size of the internal forces. The internal walls are carried out by the method of finite elements in the engineering program Scia Engineering 2013 and on the basis of it, designing of the framing sections of the tank. There is a calculation part of the lower horizontal bias wreaths of the shell and internal supporting wall. All the components are assessed on the 1st limit state of the load-bearing capacity and the 2nd limit state of the application (emergence cracks, limiting voltage in the concrete and a prestressing steel). The existing external wall is assessed only on the marginal status load of carrying capacity. The part of diploma thesis is also drawing documentation, accompanying report and technical report. The goal of the diploma thesis was to design the tank without an occurrence of the cracks in the concrete so as the vertical wall was prestressing only in the horizontal direction and the optimal proposal roof tanks as an addition.

This study is made on a residential building which is constructed at Bawana by DSIIDC. The building is a RCC structure in which the slab is cast monolithically with the RCC walls of the building. This type of structure is called load bearing wall and slab structure. The thickness of the slab is 100mm and the thickness of the wall is also 100mm.Due to the use of thin sections, the useable area had increased to a considerable amount. It is a G+3 structure planned for the EWS (economically weaker sections). Each dwelling is a one room set with attached toilet. A door opening was planned in the common wall of the two flats after the full construction. The load test had been performed after the opening was created to study the deflection characteristics of the RCC wall and slab. The deflections were found at different point in the slab and the opening of the RCC wall and is compared with the permissible deflections as per IS 456-2000. It was found that the deflections we get by testing were within the permissible limits. Design of the existing building was also checked numerically by STAADPRO. Numerical study was performed on the two cases, with the opening in common wall and without opening. The stresses in the common RCC wall with and without opening were also compared. The result of both the analysis , experimental and numerical, is compared and to study the deflection characteristics. The detail account of deflection study is discussed in this project work.
