This thesis details the ongoing development of a new Offshore Floating Nuclear Plant (OFNP) concept that exhibits a promising potential for economic and rapid deployment on a global scale. The OFNP creatively combines state-of-the-art Light Water Reactors (LWRs) and floating platforms similar to those used in offshore oil and gas operations. A reliable and cost-effective global supply chain exists for both technologies, which enables a robust expansion in the use of nuclear energy on a time scale consistent with combating climate change in the near future. The OFNP is a plant that can be entirely built within a floating platform in a shipyard, transferred to the site, where it is anchored within 12 nautical miles (22 km) off the coast in relatively deep water (=/> 100 m), and connected to the grid via submarine AC transmission cables. Shipyard construction ensures a supply of qualified workers and facilities, and it brings mass-production-like construction efficiency to existing reactor designs. Eventual shipyard decommissioning allows sites to immediately return to a "green field" condition when the plant's life is spent. The crews would operate in monthly or semi-monthly shifts with onboard living quarters, similar to oil and gas platforms. The OFNP is a nuclear plant specifically designed for the global market: it can be constructed in one country or multiple countries and exported internationally. It lends itself to a flexible and mobile electricity generation strategy, which minimizes the need for indigenous nuclear infrastructure in the host country and does not commit the customer to a 40 to 60 years-long project.

, and settlement reduction ratio b for given variables consisting of length, diameter, elastic modulus of the aggregate piers, and foundation pressures. Analyses have been carried out with 1, 1.5, 2, and 3 m long piers with diameters of 60 cm, and 80 cm, placed under a circular footing in 1.30 m diameter. Two values for elastic modulus of the piers have been used to reflect the effect of pier stiffness on settlement behavior. Analysis and design methodology have been carried out in three stages. The first stage consists of modeling the matrix soil with an elastic constitutive model and exerting foundation pressures to first check the accuracy of the mesh by comparing the effective vertical stress and settlement values by analytical methods. Once satisfactory results are achieved, modeling of a rigid foundation is carried out. Consequently, aggregate piers are modeled and loaded. For foundation pressures, a range of values consisting of 25, 50, 75, and 100 kPa have been chosen to see the behavior of piers under variable foundation pressures. There are solid outcomes of this study. It concludes by stating that the settlement behavior of piers having L/d ratios greater than 3.75, are alike. Thus, there is almost no additional settlement improvement achieved with piers longer than 3 m with 60 cm pier diameter.

Full textNär klimaten förändras ökar risken för översvämningar från stormar, skyfall och stigande havsnivåer i många länder. Klimatförändringar kommer påverka Sverige på flera olika sätt där en konsekvens är ökad nederbörd och stigande havsnivåer vilket kommer resultera i ökat antal översvämningar i framtiden. På senare tid har alternativa lösningar lyfts fram istället för bygga skyddande infrastruktur som exempelvis skyddsmurar runt samhällen. Det finns flera olika strategier hur samhällen kan skyddas mot översvämningar där amfibisk arkitektur är en strategi som innebär natur inte motarbetas utan byggnaden samarbetar med vattenmassorna. Byggnaderna har samma faciliteter och utseende som traditionella konstruktioner men vid en översvämning flyter huset på vattnet. Byggtekniken hjälper individer som lever inom riskzon för översvämningar att sluta leva i rädsla och börja leva i harmoni med vattnet. Byggmetoden är applicerbar globalt och har potential att minimerar materiella skador, ekonomiska förluster och psykiskt lidande för inblandade vid en eventuell översvämning. Syfte med studien är att bidra till ökad förståelse om amfibiska hus som byggnadsmetod, vilka möjligheter och begränsningar som finns för att använda sig av tekniken i Sverige, sammanställa kunskap och erfarenhet från andra länder samt vilka faktorer som påverkar utformningen. Målet är att identifiera kunskaper och erfarenheter om byggtekniken och sammanfatta dessa. En litteraturstudie genomfördes i syfte att identifiera och sammanställa redan känd kunskap inom ämnet och ta fram underlag till en intervjustudie. Intervjustudien fokuserade på möjligheter och begränsningar att bygga amfibiska hus i Sverige. Intervjustudien behandlade tre perspektiv; myndighetsperspektiv, finans- och försäkringsperspektiv samt sakfrågeperspektiv. Resultatet från litteratur- och intervjustudien indikerar att en av de främsta möjligheterna med byggtekniken är att mer markyta kan utnyttjas och att byggtekniken är anpassad för framtida klimatförändringar. Genom att använda sig av en alternativ strategi mot översvämningar som arbetar med vattenmassorna krävs mindre ingrepp i naturen och ekosystemet. Byggtekniken är applicerbar i många olika länder och kan anpassas efter individens ekonomiska förutsättningar. En begränsande faktor är bristen på dokumenterad kunskap som kan försvåra användning av byggtekniken. Byggmetoden passar inte alla lokaliseringar utan det är platsen förutsättningar som styr huruvida amfibiska hus kan användas. Kunskapen om amfibiska hus är låg hos många aktörer inom byggsektorn och många länders lagstiftningar är inte anpassad för denna typ av byggteknik vilket försvårar byggandet av sådana objekt. Förslag på framtida studier är att se över hur byggtekniken kan användas för större byggnader och hur byggtekniken påverkas av nordiskt klimatet. Ett annat förslag är vilka utredningar som krävs för att svenska myndigheter ska ta ställning till byggtekniken och godkänna anpassad bebyggelse på orter med översvämningsrisk.

Full textPresent day, Stockholm suffers from a significant lack of dwellings and the population in the county is ever increasing. To meet this escalating demand for residences it is essential to explore new paths of accomplishing this. Here lies a unique opportunity for densification of the city by taking advantage of Stockholm’s grand water areal to build floating residences. This essay aims to demonstrate an alternative to the traditional arts of building construction by presenting the qualities of living on water in a proposition for a floating residential area. The project is displayed as placed in an old industrial port - Liljeholmskajen - in Årstadal, Stockholm. To achieve this, case studies are made on different types of floating constructions on the Swedish market to establish the best constructional solutions, which have led to complete concept drawings. The result illustrates that a floating residential area is achievable with today’s technology as a method of dealing with the densification of cities. Further investigations are necessary to legalize and simplify the legislation of this type of living

Full textPurpose: The housing shortage affects everyone and in the future, we have to think about social, ecologic and economic sustainability in architecture and urban planning. Floating houses has the potential to satisfy all these requirements but in Sweden they have a hard time to settle as a concept. This study aims to investigate the possibilities and setbacks for floating homes in Sweden. Method: The methods of research in this investigation is qualitative. The collection of empirical data is done through semi-structured interviews, observation and analysis of documents. Findings: The biggest problem areas that we discovered was economy, law and technical solutions. Worry about the possible technical problems was only put forth by respondents who had little or none experience in working with floating homes. The main technical differences between a floating home and one on dry land is that the plumbing goes in the floating device instead of the ground, the connection between the house and the floating device and that a floating property doesn´t need any groundwork done. The cost of a floating house is often similar to one on dry land. The economic issues are uncertainty and inexperience, these factors can make the construction of a floating house more expensive. The area that contains the most problems for floating houses is the juridical. The process of getting a building permit is longer due to the extra number of laws and agencies involved. Implications: Municipalities needs bigger freedom in deciding land exploitation to make it easier for floating houses to be an established concept in Sweden. The detailed development plan needs to include water areas. Another thing that will help is more completed projects, more projects for reference means more knowledge about the concept, instead of it being seen as just a luxury. Limitations: The investigation refers to Sweden as the geographic region. We interviewed respondents from agencies, entrepreneurs and property owners and the answers can only be seen as representative for those groups. Sketches of a floating home, a deeper calculation of the economy and precise law changes are not included in the thesis and are therefore suggestions for further research. Keywords: Alternative housing, alternative land use, floating houses, housing shortage, living on water, shoreline protection, urban development.

Full textÖversvämningar är den naturkatastrof som orsakar flest antal dödsoffer och ekonomisk skada i världen. Sverige har varit relativt förskonat från dödsoffer i samband med översvämningar, men de materiella skadorna är betydande. I framtiden förväntas större och mer frekventa översvämningar. Det är därför intressant att studera nya skyddsbarriärer med högre kapacitet. C3C Engineering AB är ett Växjöbaserat företag som tillverkar betongblock enligt legoprincipenutav överbliven spillbetong. År 2021 har C3C 99 stycken produktionsplatser utspridda runt om i Sverige. I arbetet kontrollerades fyra modeller för stapling av C3Cblock®. Målet med arbetet var att ta fram beräkningsmaterial som kan användas vid stapling och placering av C3Cblock® i förebyggande syfte mot översvämningar. För att beräkna modellernas kapacitet antogs tre horisontella laster verka på staplingen: statiskt vattentryck, hydrodynamiskt vattentryck och drivgodslast. I arbetet har fyra stycken intervjuer med sakkunniga inom översvämningsområdetgenomförts. Intervjuerna gav en inblick i hur sakkunniga på berörda myndigheter ser på Sveriges beredskap, hantering, planering mot översvämningar och vilka kriterier för skyddsbarriärer som anses viktiga. Resultatet av arbetet visar att C3Cblock® till stor del klarar de vattenhastigheter och vattenhöjder som myndigheten för skydd och beredskap karterar för. Arbetet visar också att inverkan av drivgods har en relativt liten effekt jämfört med dethydrodynamiska- och hydrostatiska vattenlasten. Då beräkningsuppställningen varit i ideala förhållanden är det viktigt att vid användning av C3Cblock® i förebyggande syfte mot översvämningar ha kännedom kring terrängförhållanden som underlagsmaterial och marklutning.

Full textThe population growth and climate change are two main factors in today’s urban planning. Approximately 71 % of the Earth’s surface is consisting of water and a large part of that is not being utilized to the fullest extent. Today’s buildings that entirely floats on water is something that we have already begun to see, however there is a low quantity of them. The following question is whether important issues connected to urban planning could be solved by expanding the amount of floating constructions, and thereby begin to use water as a place for cities and city districts to take form. The purpose of this study is to present the concept of floating cities and to discuss whether it could be an alternative for future planning and urbanization in Sweden. By doing a literature study and a case study that are both supplemented by interviews, information will be obtained to use as a foundation for an analysis and discussion where conclusions will be made. The history of floating construction is described together with existing techniques and prerequisites that enable floating structures. Laws relevant to the subject is also described, for example the law of shoreline protection, which plays a major role when it comes to exploiting water areas. The cases in the study consist of both Swedish and international examples of projects that involve floating constructions. Main focus will be on Marinstaden in Nacka and Ijburg in Amsterdam. To complete the study and get a better overview, interviews are held with Alexander Erixson, planning architect at Nacka Municipality, and with Richard Bergström, CEO of AquaVilla AB. The conclusion is that it is possible to expand the number of floating districts in Sweden. Urban development would be positively influenced when opportunities are created, and issues as housing shortage could be solved. It could as well work as a prevention for environmental issues. The main problem that could occur is that floating districts might create segregation, although advocates states that well planned urbanization and support from laws and legalizations could make it possible to exploit water areas with floating buildings without the problem of segregation emerging. The challenge is to convince the society that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. By that we achieve acceptance from more people which is a presumption when it comes to trying to accomplish a development and expansion of floating constructions in Sweden.
