    Author : Oliver Kling; Nils Dahlman; [2019]
    Keywords : Parametric Design; Parametric Optimization; Concrete Structures; Reinforced Concrete; Foundation Improvements;

    Abstract : Parametric design has proven to be a powerful tool for structural engineers to find innovativesolutions to complex problems more effectively compared to conventional methods. Theflexibility off parametric design is immense since all types of structures depend on a range ofparameters that can be isolated, controlled and altered. READ MORE

  4. 3. Pore pressures and settlements generated from two different pile drilling methods

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik
