Detta arbete utgör en del i miljöarbetet med att hitta lösningar för restprodukterna i stålindustrin och fokuserar på recirkulation av metallhydroxidslam, som i dagsläge deponeras.Inom arbetet utreds en upparbetningsmöjlighet av metallhydroxidslam från Sandvik AB i Sandviken, genom att en patenterad behandlingsmetod, nämligen sintring, testas och utvärderas.Denna behandling ger en produkt som kan återanvändas i stålsmältningsprocessen, varvid produkten fungerar som flussmedel och kan ersätta naturligt flusspat (CaF2) som normalt används som flussmedel.Efter litteraturstudier har praktiska sintringsförsök i liten skala gjorts på slam från Sandviken, samt analyser på slammet och den sintrade produkten. Sandvikenslammets egenskaper och sammansättning har jämförts med de av slammer från andra stålverk i Sverige. Jämförelserna har lett till förslag på ändringar i processen där slammet uppkommer för att få ett lämpligare slam för upparbetning.Resultaten visade att sintring som upparbetningsmetod kan användas på Sandvikenslammet, men i sammansättningen är detta slam mindre lämpligt som flussmedel än t.ex. slam från Outokumpu Stainless AB. Vissa oönskade ämnen i slammet, såsom fosfor och svavel, gör att det krävs ändringar i processen.

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the degree of influence of holes in the web of steel beams with long spanson weakening of their bearing capacity. Making holes in the web of the beam generally reduces the bearing capacity of the beam. However, it might be necessary seen from both an architectural perspective as well as from a building services perspective by creating an opportunity for building installations.The objective of this thesis is to examine how much an I-beam can be weakened without sacrificing safety and functionality. The investigation has been done by using Finite Element Method through commercial software.The regulation for structural design of building structures in Sweden used to be specified in the document known as BKR. But this was replaced by the European norm Eurocode back in May 2011.

FrågeställningVad har affärssystemet för påverkan på den interna redovisningen? Hur pass beroende är företagen av affärssystemet? Vad finns det för fördelar och nackdelar med systemet? Vad händer om systemet slutar fungera?SyfteSyftet med denna studie var att undersöka och analysera hur de valda företagen använder sig utav affärssystemet SAP i arbetet med den interna redovisningen samt att undersöka hur betydelsefullt SAP är för arbetet med den interna redovisningen.MetodUppsatsen utgår ifrån en kvalitativ studie där fem respondenter på de valda företagen har intervjuats. Vid intervjutillfällena användes semistrukturerade frågor. En induktiv metod användes eftersom nya teorier skapades utifrån empirin.SlutsatsImplementeringen av ett affärssystem har visat sig haft en stor påverkan på den interna redovisningen. De båda företagen är överens om att affärssystemet har varit en bidragande orsak till varför de inte har någon avskild intern redovisning.

First and foremost, the concern ofsafety among blue-collar is often secondary due toproduction.

Hos LuCoil Steel AB, dotterbolag till SSAB Tunnplåt AB, värmebehandlas bl.a. stål för att ge det speciella egenskaper som gynnar dess formbarhet vid efterföljande behandlingar. Denna värmebehandling av stålet som kallas för mjukglödgning eller sfäroidiseringsglödgning är en väldigt tidskrävande process, där strukturella förändringar i materialet sker och utvecklas med tiden. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att hitta optimala värmebehandlingscykler för fyra olika stålsorter där kraven på materialegenskaperna uppfylles och samtidigt undersöka hur utvecklingen av mikrostrukturen med tiden påverkar dess egenskaper. För att simulera den industriella glödgningsprocessen hos LuCoil utfördes försök i en laboratorieugn och vidare utfördes hårdhetsprov, dragprov och analyser av mikrostrukturen i svepelektronmikroskop för varje glödgat material.

Syftet med denna studie är att identifiera ett antal kritiska framgångsfaktorer för implementering av ett nytt affärssystem, samt att utifrån dessa faktorer skapa en modell. Utgångspunkten för dessa parametrar är med fokus på användarna.I litteraturdelen redovisas ett antal olika projektmodeller och faktorer. För att kunna belysa de styrkor och svagheter som dessa modeller påvisar har jag granskat, analyserat och kritiserat dem, samt ställt dem emot varandra. Det som de flesta har gemensamt är att de saknar ett användarfokus. I den empiriska delen beskrivs två stycken fallstudier på Fagersta Stainless AB. Den första granskar en implementering av affärssystemet Movex som genomfördes 1999.

Norrborns Industri AB in Bollnäs manufactures truck trailers with the brand Parator. One of their trailers is Parator LX 10-20. The trailer is designed to transport hooklift containers with the option to tip loose goods such as gravel, asphalt and seed. The container is mounted on a frame which is placed on the chassis. To reduce weight a redesign of the trailer is needed.

This master thesis was conducted during the spring of 2014 at Atlas Copco Rock Drills AB in Örebro. The purpose of the thesis was to develop a simulation model of the rotation system for a hydraulic rock drill. In the future, the model will be used to investigate the phenomena called ?jerky rotation?. In order to validate the simulation model a test bench was designed and tests were made.

In Sweden there are currently two separate guidelines you may use whenperforming calculations on frameworks, BKR and the Eurocodes. Although at theend of 2010 you are not allowed to use BKR any longer and only the Eurocodeswill be viable. The aim of this thesis is to explain how the Eurocodes and EKS work and alsohow they compare to the current guideline BKR. Similarities and differencesbetween these guidelines are also discussed so that the reader will get a betterunderstanding of how the Eurocodes are applied. The areas discussed are asfollows:Principles and adviceSafety ClassesSymbols and IndexesLifespanLoads and partial coefficientThe thesis also deals with the impact that this transition into a new guideline willhave on corporations, guideline costs, education and computer software. As anexample a rough estimate on what costs this transition will create on a companywith 20 employees is also included. Calculations have been performed in order to investigate how the design valuesdiffer between the two guidelines, the Eurocodes and BKR.

Climate change is one of the most difficult problems that humans have to deal with. Today, the evidence of human effects on the climate change and the rise of temperature on earth are strong. It is extremely important that all countries get together and cooperate in order to be able to solve the problem with climate change. One step in the work on climate changes is the Convention on Climate Change, which was agreed on in 1992. The Convention on Climate Change resulted in the Kyoto Protocol in 1997. The Kyoto Protocol is an agreement between a number of industrialized countries to limit or reduce the green gas emissions.

This master thesis deals with steel girders subjected to patch loading caused by concentrated moments. There exist no good methods to calculate by hand the ultimate resistance for this load case. In ?tunnplåtshandboken?, (Handbook for sheet metal, which is published by SSAB), one calculation method is presented. It?s however fairly difficult to use, because of many calculation steps and many graphs.

This diploma work has been conducted for the consulting company Ramböll inUppsala, Sweden with the purpose to perform a study with the calculation programFEM Design 9.0 made by Strusoft. The aim has been to find out if it is possible to gainadvantage by utilizing more advanced 3D software for design calculations, instead ofthe traditional methods currently used in construction works.The method of approach has been to model an existing warehouse building with theprogram FEM Design, and then compare the results with those attained with FrameAnalysis and hand calculations. These results are then analyzed. An evaluation is maderegarding to what benefits can be achieved using a more advanced 3D-model.The results of the study show that the differences between the methods are not ofany significance with regard to the design of the steel frame. However in morecomplex materials such as reinforced concrete, the differences become more notable.The conclusions drawn by the authors of this study into FEM Design are that theeducation requirements of the program are higher than for simpler programs, whosepurpose are solving predetermined problems.

In the west part of Trelleborg, on previous farmland a new society is under construction. It is situated right next to the ocean and close to the European freeway. Eight types of villages, all with different kind of architecture will be built in the area, one of them is Torns Village built by Skanska and Ikea. A concept called BoKlok. This specific village consists of twelve houses and five apartment buildings. They are all somewhat classical in their appearance with wooden panel, but at the same time they have a modern touch.

This research analyzed differences in measurements of magnetic field strength and frequency response in five audio induction loops installed in rooms of wooden construction materials and five audio inductive loops installed in rooms of steel reinforced concrete constructions. The inductive loops were installed at floor level and the measurements were made at the listening height of 1.2m. Measurements of background noise, field strength and frequency response were made at fifteen different measurement points across the room. The research measurements showed that there are differences in field strength and frequency response between these two conditions, whether the audio induction loop is installed in a wooden construction or the audio induction loop is installed in a reinforced concrete construction. The results had a significance level of p=0,05..

This report describes a new foundation method and compares it with a traditional founding of concrete. This new method is called the Koljern technique and uses cellular glass which is called Foamglas. The Foamglas is compounded to founding elements by lightweight steel beams. Foamglas is an insulation material with high compressive strength, and is rot, insect, vermin and acid proof. The cellular glass is also fire proof and watertight, which makes it a very good construction material.The report contains a study of a number of cases for which the Koljern technique is compared with a foundation of concrete.
