AbstractAbetong in Falkenberg manufactures, among other things, small prefabricated concrete buildings for housing various installations, such as electric transformers.The aim of this dissertation is to reduce the time needed to design such buildings, by way of finding a number of standardized buildings. Standardized in such a manner as to incorporate both the needs of the manufacturer (Abetong) and its customers.To analyze the needs of the parties the work has included a market survey and calculations on the strength of these buildings.One survey was a letter questionnaire to all of Abetong’s customers who have, in the past, ordered these types of building. The aim of the questionnaire was to establish how the customers want these buildings designed.Another survey conducted was an inventory of all of Abetong’s previous projects where these types of building were manufactured. The aim of this was to ensure that the customer’s words and deeds coincide.The results from these two surveys show that not always do the customers buy what they say they want in the questionnaire. The results and possible explanations can be found in the report.The conclusions, and the decisions on how to standardize the buildings, were based on the surveys and discussions with Abetong to ensure that as many wishes as possible were met.The dissertation also includes design calculations on the strength of different parts of these buildings.The calculations have been performed according to the current Swedish codes BKR03 and BBK04.Many of the calculations have been carried out in an Excel-programme especially developed for this project. The programme calculates the dimensioning loads and the necessary reinforcement.
