  1. 1. Evaluating the Undrained Shear Strength of Sulphide-Bearing Soils in the Sundsvall Area

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

    Author : Gustaf Holm; [2022]
    Keywords : Clay; cone factor; CONRAD; CPT; fall cone; field vane test; reduction; CONRAD; CPT; fallkonförsök; konfaktor; lera; reduktion; vingförsök;

    Abstract : Sulphide soils in Sweden are mainly found along the northeast coastline. These soils area characterized by their fine grain size, low shear strength and black, or grey, color. These soils are also found further south, in the Sundsvall area in Västernorrland, but have slightly lower sulphide content there. READ MORE

  3. 2. Geomechanical testing of non-hardening grout : for determination of flowability and strength properties

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geoteknologi

    Author : Axel Barrdahl; [2022]
    Keywords : Non-hardening; Grout; Embankment dam; Repair; Fall cone; Uniaxial Compressive Strength; UCS; Triaxial;

    Abstract : Due to an increasing amount of aging tendencies in Swedish embankment dams, failures such as internal erosion has become a more common problem. Internal erosion is a phenomenon where certain soil material within the embankment dam is removed, often over a longer period of time. READ MORE

  4. 3. Optimization in Design of End-Bearing Concrete and Steel Piles with Regard to Climate Impact : Climate Conscious Material Choices in Early Project Planning

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Simat Adnan; Jann Ton; [2021]
    Keywords : Design; End-bearing piles; Bearing capacity; GWP; LCA; Climate change; Dimensionering; Spetsburna pålar; Bärförmåga; GWP; LCA; Klimatpåverkan;

    Abstract : Environmental sustainability is becoming more popular in the building industry. Sustainable thinking needs to be present during the whole construction process, from the idea phase to the final stages. READ MORE

  5. 4. Study of Improved Sampling and Preparation of East-Swedish Glacial Clay

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : CLARA GARCIA DE HERREROS; [2020]
    Keywords : clay; disturbance; sample quality; block sampling; preconsolidation pressure; shear strength.;

    Abstract : The aim of this study is to determine if the mini block sampling technique couldoffer a complement to the Swedish standard StII piston sampler for achieving higherquality samples. The principle is that having a greater diameter the sample is meticulouslytrimmed to the usual geometry, so that the periphery of the sample is not disturbedby the sampling procedure and the same testing equipment can be employed.

  6. 5. CPTu Configuration Impact on Evaluated Undrained Shear Strength

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Mårten Mjöberg; Axel Stenfors; [2020]
    Keywords : Cone Penetration Testing; Fields trials; Soil mechanics; Evaluated undrained shear strength.;

    Abstract : This thesis evaluates the commonly used geotechnical probing method CPTu, on how different probe configurations impact the resulting evaluated undrained shear strength in soft clay deposits, in comparison to each other and laboratory methods. This is done by performing field investigations on Lindefältet, Södermanlands län, Sweden. READ MORE
