Today, we use BKR and BBK 04 when designing concrete structures inSweden, which will, in the near future, be replaced by Eurocode 2. When you are designing buildings, you will use Eurocode 2 Part 1-1 and with this new standard, some new rules and general rules will be necessary to adopt. To examine how BKR and BBK 04 tells apart from Eurocode 2 when designing concrete structures, one beam and one column with often common dimensions, is studied. The beam is designed with consideration of (considerate to) durability at bending moments, shear forces and control of cracking. The column is designed with consideration of durability at eccentric axial load and bending moments in cross section on account of (due to) geometric imperfections. BBK 04 has gone one step closer to Eurocode 2 than earlier editions and the things that are different, when calculating reinforcement, is how they use the partial factors.

The main environmental problem for aviation is the great amount of exhaust gases, mainly nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons - mostly "greenhouse gases" leading to climate changes. I decided to sort out what is being done to decrease these problems and what regulations there are concerning air pollution by the means of searching the internet and using publications from aviation authorities for current figures. I chose to scrutinize authorities on political, authority and company level, resulting in summarizing the work of UN and EU respectively, ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), JAA (Joint Aviation Authorities) and LFV (Swedish Civil Aviation Authority), and finally SAS, representing the airline companies. Conclusion that I have drawn are thatthere are regulations for air pollution, written down in ICAO's Annex 16, that are to be followed. Secondly, LFV are environmentally controlling their nineteen airports and since economy is an important reason for not giving priority to environmental issues in aviation emission charge and noise charge are added to the landing fees.

I Sverige använder man idag BKR och BBK 04 vid dimensionering av betongkonstruktioner vilka, inom kort tid, kommer att ersättas av Eurokod 2. Vid dimensionering av byggnader kommer Eurokod 2 Del 1-1 att användas och med regelverket kommer en hel del nya regler och normer att behöva anpassas. För att undersöka hur BKR och BBK 04 skiljer sig mot Eurokod 2 vid dimensionering av betongkonstruktioner har en balk och en pelare med vanligt förekommande dimensioner studerats. Balken dimensioneras med hänsyn till bärförmåga vid böjning och tvärkraft samt kontroll av sprickbildning. Pelaren dimensioneras med hänsyn till bärförmåga vid centriskt tryck och moment i tvärsnitt på grund av strukturimperfektioner.BBK 04 har gått ett steg närmare Eurokod 2 än tidigare utgåvor och det som skiljer vid beräkning av armering, är hur partialkoefficienter används.

Syftet med den här rapporten är att göra en undersökning av möjligheterna för användning av långtidsvärmelager för drift i kraftvärmesystem. Projektet han initierats av adj. professor Heimo Zinko, IKP Energisystem i form av bidrag till ett projekt inom IEA, Annex VIII. Projektet utförs i samarbete med Svensk Fjärrvärme, Tekniska Verken AB i Linköping, ENA Energi AB i Enköping och ZW Energiteknik i Nyköping. Projektet har genomförts av två examensarbetare vid Linköpings Tekniska Högskola under höstterminen 2006.Projektet har delats in i två studier där ENA Energi AB i Enköping och Tekniska Verken AB i Linköping har varit de två studieobjekttiven.

The national spatial planning guidelines and the subsequent legal regulation in the Natural Resources Act and the Environmental Code has been a part of the Swedish planning system for almost 40 years. In the recent years, critics have claimed that the regulations are outdated and does not work the way it was intended. This paper examines closer why it is perceived that the regulations does not work, with a focus on how the national interests are managed in the municipal planning. Why is the national interests not applied in the municipal planning as intended? Is the error in the system or in the implementation of it? The aim of this essay is to study the gap between theory and practice by studying how the land management provisions in the Environmental Code is applied in five selected municipalities.

This diploma-work assess the public outdoor space. It has its starting point in, Ålidhem, a town district of Umeå. I have been studying public spaces in the outdoor environment. In this essay this refers to the spaces between the houses. What they are, what they contain, how they function and how they can improved.
