Abstract:
The Canterbury Earthquakes of 2010-2011, in particular the 4th September 2010 Darfield earthquake and the 22nd February 2011 Christchurch earthquake, produced severe and widespread liquefaction in Christchurch and surrounding areas. The scale of the liquefaction was unprecedented, and caused extensive damage to a variety of man-made structures, including residential houses. Around 20,000 residential houses suffered serious damage as a direct result of the effects of liquefaction, and this resulted in approximately 7000 houses in the worst-hit areas being abandoned. Despite the good performance of light timber-framed houses under the inertial loads of the earthquake, these structures could not withstand the large loads and deformations associated with liquefaction, resulting in significant damage. The key structural component of houses subjected to liquefaction effects was found to be their foundations, as these are in direct contact with the ground. The performance of house foundations directly influenced the performance of the structure as a whole. Because of this, and due to the lack of research in this area, it was decided to investigate the performance of houses and in particular their foundations when subjected to the effects of liquefaction. The data from the inspections of approximately 500 houses conducted by a University of Canterbury summer research team following the 4th September 2010 earthquake in the worst-hit areas of Christchurch were analysed to determine the general performance of residential houses when subjected to high liquefaction loads. This was followed by the detailed inspection of around 170 houses with four different foundation types common to Christchurch and New Zealand: Concrete perimeter with short piers constructed to NZS3604, concrete slab-on-grade also to NZS3604, RibRaft slabs designed by Firth Industries and driven pile foundations. With a focus on foundations, floor levels and slopes were measured, and the damage to all areas of the house and property were recorded. Seven invasive inspections were also conducted on houses being demolished, to examine in more detail the deformation modes and the causes of damage in severely affected houses. The simplified modelling of concrete perimeter sections subjected to a variety of liquefaction-related scenarios was also performed, to examine the comparative performance of foundations built in different periods, and the loads generated under various bearing loss and lateral spreading cases. It was found that the level of foundation damage is directly related to the level of liquefaction experienced, and that foundation damage and liquefaction severity in turn influence the performance of the superstructure. Concrete perimeter foundations were found to have performed most poorly, suffering high local floor slopes and being likely to require foundation repairs even when liquefaction was low enough that no surface ejecta was seen. This was due to their weak, flexible foundation structure, which cannot withstand liquefaction loads without deforming. The vulnerability of concrete perimeter foundations was confirmed through modelling. Slab-on-grade foundations performed better, and were unlikely to require repairs at low levels of liquefaction. Ribraft and piled foundations performed the best, with repairs unlikely up to moderate levels of liquefaction. However, all foundation types were susceptible to significant damage at higher levels of liquefaction, with maximum differential settlements of 474mm, 202mm, 182mm and 250mm found for concrete perimeter, slab-on-grade, ribraft and piled foundations respectively when subjected to significant lateral spreading, the most severe loading scenario caused by liquefaction. It was found through the analysis of the data that the type of exterior wall cladding, either heavy or light, and the number of storeys, did not affect the performance of foundations. This was also shown through modelling for concrete perimeter foundations, and is due to the increased foundation strengths provided for heavily cladded and two-storey houses. Heavy roof claddings were found to increase the demands on foundations, worsening their performance. Pre-1930 concrete perimeter foundations were also found to be very vulnerable to damage under liquefaction loads, due to their weak and brittle construction.

Abstract:
The study looks into the 2008 American Presidential Election from two sides; the way the news channels frame the event and the way a sample of the audiences interpret it. Drawing on literature concerning framing theory which describes the practices employed by mass media to present world events in familiar and understandable formats to audiences, the study examines the coverage of the 2008 American Presidential Election on three trans-border news channels broadcasting in Arabic. A number of stories covering the American election campaign broadcasted on Alarabiya, Alhurra and Aljazeera, are included. The study assesses general frames used to describe the event by each channel. The analysis reports the frames generally employed by the three channels are relatively similar, suggesting a global effect on the media in following the Anglo-American model of journalism when reporting international events. The differences appear when reporting regional issues between the two Arabic trans-border channels Alarabiya and Aljazeera on one side and Alhurra on the other suggesting a link between journalistic ideology and framing. The second part of this thesis is the exploratory audience study which attempts to provide insights into perception of Arab news coverage - particularly in Saudi Arabia. The audience study uses a questionnaire and focus group methodologies on a sample of participants with high television news consumption levels, measuring the perception of news channels credibility in specific and credibility of media in general, and exploring the possible presence of a link between consumption level of news and perceived news credibility. Moreover, examining how audience analyse news and how their opinions about the event have been shaped by media framing.

Abstract:
Det blev år 1994 tillåtet i Sverige att bygga hus med stomme av trä högre än två våningar. Det finns många fördelar med att bygga med trästomme, inte minst ur miljösynpunkt, men det byggs trots detta väldigt få flervåningshus högre än två våningar med trästomme jämfört med andra stomkonstruktioner. Syftet med denna studie är att ta reda på hur beställare resonerar kring att bygga eller inte bygga flervåningshus med trästomme högre än två våningar och hur deras inställning är gentemot denna stomkonstruktion. För att ta reda på detta så har en kvalitativ undersökning genomförts där fem personer i beställarposition har intervjuats. Resultaten visade att det finns en viss kunskapsbrist om trästommar. Information finns men få har tagit del av den och tryggheten i att bygga i betong överväger i många fall de fördelar som träkonstruktioner faktiskt har. Kostnader är av självklara skäl den viktigaste aspekten för många företag. Om det finns kostnadsfördelar med trästomme råder det delade meningar om, men om så är fallet så behöver det bli tydligare för att beställare ska våga sig på det som alternativ. Kommunerna är i många fall de som får även mindre erfarna beställare att faktiskt bygga med trästomme då de på vissa platser har som krav att det ska vara trästomme. Att föreslå trästomme kan också vara ett sätt att stå ut från mängden och på så sätt vinna en markanvisning hos kommunen. Kommunernas inflytande på företagens val av stomme är något som författarna tycker att det bör forskas mer om. Överlag verkade det som att det fanns en ganska positiv bild av trästommar ur beställarens perspektiv, främst angående miljöaspekterna. Dock är det ännu inte tillräckligt för att de mindre träerfarna beställarna frivilligt ska våga prova på det då deras kunskap om det brister och det faktum att det inte visat sig ha kostnadsfördelar i alla lägen.
In 1994, it became legal in Sweden to build residential houses with wooden frames higher than two storeys. There are many advantages to building houses with wooden frames, not least from an environmental point of view, but very few multi-storey houses with wooden frames are built in comparison to frames of other materials. The purpose of this study is to examine how clients reason when deciding on whether to build or not to build multi-storey houses with wooden frames and how their attitudes are towards this form of construction. To do this, a qualitative study has been conducted in which five people in a customer position have been interviewed. The results show that there is a certain lack of knowledge about wooden frames. Information is available, but few have taken part of it and the certainty of building in concrete in many cases exceeds the advantages that wooden frames actually have. Costs are for obvious reasons the most important aspect for many. There are different opinions regarding cost advantages in wooden frames, but if there are any, they need to be made clearer for clients if they are to explore wooden frames as an alternative. In many cases, it is the municipalities who get the less experienced clients to actually buy and build wooden framed houses, as in some places they require a wooden frame. Proposing a wooden framed building can also be a way of standing out from the crowd and thus gaining a landmark at the municipality. The influence of municipalities on companies’ choice of frame is something that the authors think should be researched further. Overall, it appears that there is a fairly positive view of wooden frames from the clients’ perspective, mainly regarding environmental aspects. However, it is not yet enough for the clients who are less experienced with wooden frames to willingly try it, as their knowledge of it is lacking and the fact that it has not proven to have cost advantages in all situations.

Abstract:
Prefabricering av väggelement är en byggmetod under stark framväxt i byggandet av småhus de senaste decennierna. Kostnadseffektiviteten nämns ofta som ett skäl till att prefabricering av småhus har en sådan stor framväxt. Samtidigt har miljö- och klimatfrågan växt och då byggsektorn står för en stor del av Sveriges koldioxidutsläpp krävs det att byggsektorn ställer om till ett allt med hållbart byggande. Detta examensarbete har undersökt denna kostnadseffektivitet och hur och om en går att kombinera med ett hållbart byggande och sedan jämfört detta med platsbyggda väggar i trä. Underlag har tagits fram i samarbete med Skidstahus som producerar prefabricerade väggelement i fabriksmiljö och underlag från Derome Hus AB/ VarbergsHus vad berör småhus i lösvirke. En kostnadsjämförelse av de två byggmetoderna visar att de prefabricerade väggelement som Skidstahus framställer är mer kostnadseffektiva och det beror till stor del på att arbetstiden effektiviseras. Till viss del visar examensarbetet att materialanvändningen även resurs effektiviseras vid Skidstahus produktion och resulterar i mindre spill som därmed gynnar ett hållbart byggande. Andra viktiga aspekter för hållbarhet och livslängd såsom fukt och lufttäthet visar att prefabricerade väggar har utmaningar då skarvar och anslutningar måste vara väl utförda. Samtidigt innebär arbetet i fabriksmiljö att risken för fuktproblem minskar då det ger ett skydd för klimat och väder. Detta är medför även att byggarbetarna får en god och vältempererad arbetsmiljö. Däremot finns frågetecken kring hur byggande med prefabricerade väggelement påverkar miljön i form av transporter i förhållandet till platsbyggda väggar av lösvirke, då transporter till och från fabrik krävs. Utöver detta påverkar byggmetoden hur gestaltning och arkitektur utförs då ett platsbyggt hus i trä enklare går att utföra med valfri gestaltning. Analyserna visar sammanfattningsvis att användandet av prefabricerade väggelement i trä reducerar byggkostnader samtidigt som det kan bidra till ett hållbart byggande. Det krävs dock ytterligare studier för att jämföra den beräknade livslängden på prefabricerade väggar och platsbyggda.
Prefabrication of wood wall elements in construction of villas and terraced houses is a building method undergoing growth in recent decades. Cost efficiency is often cited as a reason why prefabrication has undergone such a large growth. At the same time, the issue of environmental impact and climate change has grown. As the construction sector accounts for a large part of Sweden's carbon dioxide emissions, the construction sector needs to become more sustainable. This thesis has examined this cost-effectiveness and if it is possible to combine with environmental sustainability. To examine this more thoroughly a comparison is made with in site-built timber-framed constructed walls. The thesis has been conducted in collaboration with Skidstahus, which produces prefabricated wall elements in a factory environment, especially for data collection. Information and data have also been collected from Varbergshus / Derome producing houses in site-built timber-framed building. A cost comparison of the building methods shows that the prefabricated wall elements manufactured by Skidstahus are more cost-effective, which can be linked to work efficiency. To some extent, the thesis also shows that material use can be optimized at Skidstahus production and therefore results in less waste, which thus reduces environmental impact. Other important factors for durability and accounted life span is the building method’s ability to handle migration of moisture and airtightness. The thesis shows that prefabricated walls have challenges, as joints and connections must be well designed. At the same time, factory production allows an environment which can reduce risk of migration of moisture as it provides protection for climate and weather impact. Another aspect is that it provides a good and well-tempered work environment for the construction worker. On the other hand, it is questionable whether the use of prefabricated wall elements affects the environment as it may increase the need of transportation in relation to on site-built timber-framed walls, as transport to and from the factory is required. In addition, the prefabricated method could influence how design and architecture is carried out while a wood house made from stick timber is more easily modified. In summary, the analysis show that the use of prefabricated wood wall elements reduces building costs while at the same time it can contribute to environmental sustainability. However, further studies are required to compare the estimated life span of the two compared building methods.

Knock-Down House is a kind of temporary building which has different types for purpose and quality. Recently, the disasters are frequent, because of that, the settle is a big lesson we need to learn. At the 921 earthquake and the 88 disaster, the knock-down house is very important for using. Not only use at disaster also can use at temporary engineering office. In recent years, because of the environmental consciousness rising, the materials utilization and recycling are more seriously. The knock-down house which that temporarily、urgently、materials recycle and system fabrication are all the main keys. The procedure of building the knock-down house will point on the house’s covering and skeleton, those also the whole system’s element of main organization. This research will by construction to know the knock-down house how to building and by the plan return to original state and the investigation report, we can know that the knock-down house construction、 the material use and the programming and the joint way. By the case investigation, effecting the recycle is the construction design, considered after demolishing knock-down house about the construction’s consume and joint that discussing three cases of material recycle and reuse. Bring up the suit way to decompose knock-down house and compare with different cases and discussion the reason effect knock-down house of the recycle, reuse and proposes its countermeasures. At general situation, the knock-down house of reusing at construction are not the certain use countermeasures, the main problem is not have the way to recycle when the knock-down house was demolished and the main reason to effect the reuse is recycle’s situation. By this research, we have five points for how to promote the constructive effect on the knock-down house. 1. When demolishing the knock-down house, according to opposite fabricate way and have procedure to demolish it. Has the step and plan to demolish it, we can control the construction, use behavior and joint way. By this way we can assumed that material recycle and classification of consumes the degree in advance, it can reach the better recycle level. 2. Using the demolish tools, like bolt-trigger, screw-electric drill, gun nail-nail extractor, welding-cutter. Building and demolishing use the same tool can reduce the material’s consumes degree, when demolishing choose a right tool will affect the consumes degree, also affect recycle and reuse level. In opposition, it will spend more time. 3. The knock-down house after demolition will recycle by factory owner; they will repair and regulate it. The factory have space to put aside, it can make the material has better management. Also can recycle by the company of demolition project which can classification the material and reach the best management. 4. When joint the construction, the different way is the main point to affect the reuse’s factor. Use the same material can increase the compatibility when the joint, like doors, windows and walls, if those use the same material, not only easy to fabricate also easy to control the time. 5. Unified the standardized size, although the material has the same size design, but same construction use different size will reduce the compatibility. Unify 1K’s span and wall size; in general size is 90*180cm (3*6m) to match the 1K=183cm is the better size. This way for construction is effectiveness and has elasticity; it is not easy to destroy the wall.

Abstract:
Windstorms are one of the major causes of severe damage to houses and other infrastructure. Damage investigations indicate that the roof is the most vulnerable part of a timber-framed house, and that failures take place at inter component connections; hence there is a need to study the load sharing and structural response of these timber-framed house structural systems to assess their performance. Contemporary houses in many parts of Australia are brick veneer structures with metal or tile clad roofs that are built to National Construction Code of Australia's design specifications. Full-scale tests were carried out on a representative part of a brick veneer contemporary house to assess the loading effects on roof to wall connections and load sharing. Tests were conducted for each stage of construction: bare frame followed by the installation of roof battens and cladding, wall lining, ceiling, etc. These construction stages were used to assess the contribution of the structural and lining (i.e. ceiling, ceiling cornice and wall lining) elements to the load sharing and response of the timber-framed house structure to wind loading. Results show that the vertical load sharing of the timber-framed house through the roof to wall connection depends on the stiffness of the roof to wall connection and the truss location (i.e. whether located at the end or middle). The contribution of the lining elements to the vertical load sharing is about 15% to 20%. In addition, individual component tests were conducted on the roof to wall framing anchor (i.e. triple grip and truss grip) connections to examine their structural response to loading. This study also showed that construction defects in roof to wall connections influence the design uplift capacity. Two missing nails out of ten in the hand nailed triple grip connection (i.e. one nail from the truss and other one from the top plate) reduces the design uplift capacity by about 40 % of the "Ideal" hand nailed triple grip connection. Finite element models were also developed for part of the timber framed house and roof to wall connections (i.e. triple grip and truss grip connections) using ABAQUS finite element software. Results obtained from the finite element models were compared with the experimental tests, showing good agreement. This finite element model can be used to predict the roof to wall connection response and truss hold-down force variation with a range of construction defects and truss bay configurations. The overall outcomes can be used to evaluate house structure vulnerability to wind loading, and to improve the design and standards of timber-framed houses.

Energy and environmental awareness increase in recent years. The defect of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings with the current needs of the environment have been proposed, including construction materials difficult to recycle, the construction of the building quality difficult to control and adaptive quality of the living subject, etc. While the foreign advanced countries, the light-gauge steel-framed (LGS) construction engineering method is one of the current high-profile construction methods, especially in light weight, great strength and easy processing. Advanced countries are now actively promoting the "resource saving, low energy consumption, low pollution, reusable" indicators, while LGS construction engineering methods are consistent with its nature. LGS structure through the wall of the air layer can prevent the indoor heating temperature. Through good way of shading and wall insulation and air layer can also be isolated the outdoor heat air and maintain comfortable indoor temperature. This study was to explore the LGS indoor thermal environment and energy consumption, by building long-term monitoring measurements and heat flow simulation to verify and to discuss the developing in Taiwan. This research compares LGS and RC building by way of building long-term monitoring measurements in the indoor environment. The study set up a 3D CAD model of building construction and use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with the thermal analysis simulation software “CFDesign”. Discuss its relationship with energy consumption, and the development of LGS construction in Taiwan. LGS and RC building long-term monitoring and measurement of indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity, by the monitoring results can be found LGS average indoor temperature than the RC indoor temperature low 2-3 ℃, the LGS architectural engineering methods to maintain indoor comfort with the features. LGS use air conditioners frequency will decrease in summer, reduce power consumption. LGS average indoor humidity than the RC indoor humidity low 20%. The humidity average 40% -50% is effective and comfortable. The long term monitoring results found that the use of LGS building construction method does improve comfort, and effective for energy saving function. And the use of CFDesign heat flow simulation results correspond with monitoring results.

Taipei, being the political and economic stronghold during the Japanese governance, has seen many official residences and community residential developments being erected around the parameters of the city in succession, that began from the inner city expanding toward the south, east and north sides of the city parameters before eventually extending eastward. As a result, the distribution of Taipei’s Japanese-styled residential structures has been grown along the timeline of its urban development plans, and noticeably among them is how the subtle changes in the erection of residential development policy , Taiwan’s geographical and climatic studies have evoled into varied configurations .A key point in the study’s analogy has been to focus on the residential structure-styles and subtle changes during the Japanese-colonial period, and the changes of excuse on Japanese-styled houses to build conservation, study, use, reborn, for the basic data. Among this study contents were discussed to remain Japanese-styled houses and it’s background, and subtle changes, on the influence of the geography and climate, it’s including termite-suffering, heat-suffering, earthquake-suffering, to the disaster-proof plans, which were appeared on residential structure’s investigation. Therefore, with the process study Taipei’s Japanese-styled residential structures, for the purposes of: 1) Ascertaining the locale and year that Taipei’s Japanese-styled houses were built: Comparison of the urban development plans to the city maps has been adopted to decipher the locale and year the Japanese-styled houses were erected responding to abnormal shifts in population growth. 2) Deciphering factors that determine the configuration of residential architecture during the Japanese governance: The background behind the official residence system and private residential development policy, and the impact of the geography and climate are profiled to map out a theory on structural changes that occured in the Japanese-styled houses. 3) Pertinent analysis sought to profile the fundamental building model for Japan’s Japanese-styled houses by mirroring the empirical Japanese-styled houses of the Meiji period to the architectural drawings and specifications used for building official residences and official housings in Taiwan during Japanese-colonial period. 4) A census survey and analysis on Taipei’s remaining Japanese-styled houses. 5) The background and practical cases are compared and analyzed in this study. The study analysis revealed that Taipei’s Japanese-styled residential structures have been of the influnce on official residence system and residential development policy, and Taiwan’s geographical and climatic studies, became the process of the changes in structure-styles were on the differential period. For the reason, Taipei’s Japanese-styled houses were appeared to termite-proof concrete , brickwork’s foundation, weather-boarding, Gi-Shi styled wall. Then, Ji-Dong styled roof were appeared to heat-proof’s open-hole in roof-framed structures, and the other original Gie-Gi styled roof, Ru-Mu-Wu styled roof, Wafuku-styled roofing frames, Westward roofing frames, which were different to changes of construction. Therefore, the residential structures have appeared to varied configuration during Japanese colonial period.

This thesis chronicles my experiences with developing a panelized wall system for use by Habitat for Humanity and with testing that system in the design and construction of a house. Presented as a series of narratives, it follows the progress of the project from August 2003 to December 2005. Described is my motivation to test my theories through design and construction, the applicability of prefabrication to Habitat for Humanity’s use of unskilled volunteer labour, the incorporation of panelization into the design of a house for the Waterloo Region affiliate of Habitat for Humanity, the prefabrication of preclad wood framed wall panels for this house by students at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture, the erection of these wall panels on-site, and the completion of the house to a weathertight state. The thesis concludes with discussions of the understanding I gained through my experiences, the necessity for further development and testing of the panelized wall system, and the future use of prefabrication by Habitat for Humanity.

Im Verlauf dieser Studie ließen sich drei kontrastierende Typologien von Selbstbildern erkennen. Auf dieser Grundlage wurden Schlussfolgerungen und Thesen über die Identitätsfindung der Frauen und ihre gelebte Gemeindepraxis gezogen. Mit der Betrachtung der Frauen in den Brüdergemeinden will diese qualitative Studie einen Beitrag dazu leisten, neue Erkenntnisse aus einem wissenschaftlich bisher kaum erforschten Gebiet zu gewinnen. Gleichzeitig soll die vorliegende Studie anhand dieses historischen Beispiels den Umgang einer Gemeinde mit sich verändernden Rollenbildern zeigen.
