  1. 1. Towards BIM implementation for Geotechnical projects

    University essay from

    Author : Armin Alaei; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Despite significant changes in the construction industry due to the digital revolution, geotechnical engineering has been slower to adopt novel technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM). While the benefits of BIM in construction management and planning are recognized, its potential for geotechnical projects is less understood. READ MORE

  3. 2. The effect of taper on pile shaft bearing capacity : Finite element analysis of a tapered wooden pile in sulfate soil

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Jonathan Lindström; [2023]
    Keywords : Pile; taper; timber piles; wooden piles; sulphide soil; sulfate soil; tapered piles;

    Abstract : he usage of piles, especially wooden piles, have been going on for thousands of years in construction and foundation reinforcements. Sometimes this was done temporary like the Romans who used wooden piles to construct bridges in Britain, or more permanently like the piles upon which the floating city of Venice stands. READ MORE

  4. 3. Processing of ERT data from Stabilised Columns

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi; Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI)

    Author : Mårten Petersson; [2023]
    Keywords : inversion; ERT; quality control; jet grouting; aarhusinv; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Modern construction sites are associated with high demands on suitable soil conditions, resulting in geotechnical challenges that can be solved using soil stabilisation techniques. The reliability of these techniques is tested using different quality assurance methods. READ MORE

  5. 4. Application of ERT for Quality Assurance in Jet Grouting Columns; A development of an alternative quality control

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi; Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI)

    Author : Edvin Nilsagård; Rebecka Knutsson; [2022]
    Keywords : ert; jet grouting; quality control; pygimli; res2dinv; resistivity; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : With the increased urbanization major cities are facing, expansion of larger facilities and households are inevitable. Expansion means larger areas of the surface needs to be used where the risk of varying subsurface soil properties increases with larger surface areas. READ MORE

  6. 5. Evaluation of the test procedure for a Rubber Balloon Soil Densitometer

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Mohammad Minhajur Ahmed; [2021]
    Keywords : Rubber Balloon Soil Densitometer; compacted soil; density; volumetric measurement; artificial pits.;

    Abstract : A Rubber Balloon Soil Densitometer is one of the essential apparatuses in Geotechnical Engineering to measure the in-place volume of compacted soil to calculate the soil density. In 2019, some renowned institutions and organizations, Vattenfall, Luleå University of Technology, Uppsala University, Lund University, and HydroResearch AB, were involved in a research project.
