  1. 1. Assessment of Ground Vibration for Early-Stage Design

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Fadi Rafea Jameel Jameel; Patrick Francesco Joseph; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Ground borne vibrations in urban areas can be caused by human activities such as railwayand road traffic, construction works and industrial manufacturing. These vibrations can playa significant role in human comfort and the disruption of vibration sensitive equipment inbuildings. READ MORE

  3. 2. Pile subjected to lateral load : Analytical hand calculation implemented by programming

    University essay from KTH/Byggteknik och design

    Author : Anders Nordlöf; Danny Holmboe; [2021]
    Keywords : Commission on Pile Research; report 101; pile foundation; transversely loaded piles; interaction pile soil; Mathcad; hand calculation method; Pålkommissionen; rapport 101; pålgrundläggning; transversalbelastade pålar; interaktion påle-jord; Mathcad; handberäkningsmetod;

    Abstract : The official recommendations in geotechnical engineering are according to Swedish practice to install inclined driven piles in order to resist external horizontal loads, which usually consist of windloads. These loads gets counteracted by utilizing the pile's axial load-bearing capacity, however when designing a foundation the use of inclined piles has proven to be problematic from a number of different perspectives.

  4. 3. 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.

  5. 4. Bucket-soil interaction for wheel loaders : An application of the Discrete Element Method

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för maskinteknik (MT)

    Author : Felix Henriksson; Joanna Minta; [2016]
    Keywords : Discrete element method; multibody system; wheel loader; soil-tool interaction; co-simulation interval; gravel pile; collision detection interval; normal stiffness;

    Abstract : Wheel loaders are fundamental construction equipment to assist handling of bulk material e.g. gravel and stones. During digging operations, it withstands forces that are both large and very complicated to predict. READ MORE

  6. 5. Pile – Soil Interaction during Vibratory Sheet Pile Driving : a Full Scale Field Study

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Claire Guillement; [2013]
    Keywords : Ground vibrations; vibratory driving; sheet pile; full-scale field study; soil instrumentation; sheet pile instrumentation.;

    Abstract : Urban construction sites require strict control of their environmental impact, which, for vibratory sheet pile driving, can include damage to nearby structures due to ground vibrations. However, the lack of knowledge concerning the generation of soil vibrations makes the prediction of ground vibration levels difficult. This MSc. READ MORE
