  1. 1. Design Automation and Optimization of Retaining Walls : Environmental Impact and Investment Cost Optimization using Genetic Algorithm

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Arman Mulek; [2022]
    Keywords : Cantilever retaining wall; Optimization; Genetic algorithm; Investment cost; Environmental impact; Master thesis;

    Abstract : This thesis explored the possibilities of incorporating automation and optimization inthe design process of cantilever retaining walls. The programming language Pythonhas been used to develop a program that given certain inputs performs the necessarydesign verifications according to Eurocodes and Swedish standards. READ MORE

  3. 2. Modelling and simulation of vibratory driven sheet piles - Development of a stop criterion

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

    Author : Johannes Jonsson; Anton Andersson; [2021]
    Keywords : Vibratory driving; sheet pile; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : During excavations, steel sheet piles are often installed through vibratory driving, to establish a retaining wall that resists soil instability and ground water leakage. The method of vibratory driving is that the sheet pile is driven into the soil with a vertical vibratory motion. This is especially effective in soft soils. READ MORE

  4. 3. Optimization of reinforced concrete cantilever retaining walls considering environmental impact and investment cost

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Christofer Schmied; Viktor Karlsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Structural optimization; Reinforced concrete cantilever retaining wall; Environmental impact; Investment cost iii;

    Abstract : Today's civil engineering structures are most often designed through a trial anderror approach, which means that the designer tests a design solution andevaluates whether all requirements are met. If any of the requirements are notmet, changes are made to the design until a feasible solution is obtained. READ MORE

  5. 4. Optimization and automatization of end-bearing pile groups

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Gabriel Antonio Del Pozo Alarcon; [2021]
    Keywords : Optimization; automatization; pile groups; Optimering; automatisering; pålgrupper;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of the development, trial an application of a computational tool that by the use of the Genetic Algorithm optimization method provides the user with an alternative approach from the traditional trial and error when faced with the challenge of designing end bearing pile groups.The work presents the three main concepts needed for understanding the computational tool as well as the structure of it.

  6. 5. VERTICAL ELLIPTICAL ACCESS-SHAFTS Geometrical optimisation through FE-modelling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geoteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

    Author : Björn Elfving; Aron Sandström; [2020]
    Keywords : Access-shafts; FE-modelling; Plaxis; Robot; Elliptical; Circular; Optimisation; Geotechnical; Engineering; Retaining; Structures; Tunnel; Soil; Interaction; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Urbanisation is causing densification of cities and more and more facilities are being placed in the underground to utilise the urban space as efficiently as possible. Access to the underground is obtained by constructing vertical access shafts. READ MORE
