  1. 1. Soil Improvement method by Mass Stabilization : Settlement analysis in stabilized sulfide soil

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

    Author : Albin Åkerlund; [2023]
    Keywords : Mass stabilization; Sulfide soil; settlement.;

    Abstract : Mass stabilization is not a common soil improvement method in Sweden, and even less so in sulfide soils. Previous research indicates that a linear elastic material model is suitable for settlements in stabilized sulfide soil. A construction project in the northern part of Sweden applied mass stabilization in sulfide soil. READ MORE

  3. 2. Back analysis of rock mass properties in the regional fault zone under Lake Mälaren

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Jiaqi Liu; [2022]
    Keywords : Rock mass property; back analysis; tunnel deformation; optimization algorithm; numerical analysis; Bergmassans egenskaper; bakåtanalys; tunnleldeformation; optimeringingsalgoritm; numeriska analyser.;

    Abstract : The properties of the surrounding rock mass in underground projects have significant impacts on the design and construction. However, it is quite challenging to evaluate rock mass properties due to the great uncertainties of the geological conditions. READ MORE

  4. 3. Finite Element Modeling of Installation Effects of Soil-Cement Columns

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

    Author : Anne Holtmeier; [2022]
    Keywords : Deep Mixing; Soil Stabilization; Installation; Finite Element Method; PLAXIS;

    Abstract : Since the 1970's deep mixing columns have been widely used all over the world to improve the performance of soft soil in regard to bearing capacity or deformation behaviour. They are installed by mixing a binding agent, e.g. cement, in situ with the soil. READ MORE

  5. 4. Jet Grout Bottom Plug in Deep Excavations : Numerical Analysis of a Tunnel Project

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Ida Schjelderup; [2022]
    Keywords : Jet grouting; jet grout bottom plug; cut-and-cover tunnel; tunnel design;

    Abstract : This master thesis has investigated the performance of a deep excavation with a jet grout bottom plug used to prevent bottom heave and hydraulic uplift failure. The concept of a jet grout plug as a structural and sealing component in a specific case was studied, namely one of the tunnel sections of The West Link tunnel project in Gothenburg. READ MORE

  6. 5. 2D Modelling of Geosynthetically Reinforced Piled Embankments : Calibration Methods in PLAXIS 2D & Review of Analytical Guidelines

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Maya Sleiman; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the 2D modelling of Geosyntheticaly Reinforced Piled Embankments (GRPE) in PLAXIS 2D. In doing so, it explores two main aspects: 1) the calibration of Interface Stiffness Factors (ISFs) governing the soil-pile interaction of Embedded BeamRow (EBR) elements in PLAXIS 2D, and 2) the prospects and limitations of modelling geogrids (GR) in PLAXIS 2D when underlain by EBR elements; although several studies have validates the EBR element in modelling piles, none address the geogrid-EBR interaction and its implications on modelling GRPE systems.
