  1. 16. Analysis of Catenary Shaped Timber Structures

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik

    Author : Kristoffer Persson; [2018]
    Keywords : Timber construction; Caternary structures; Tensile timber roof; Stress ribbon; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In the design of a building there are many parameters that effect the material efficiency. The choice of structural solution and material are two of the parameters that will be investigated further in this rapport. READ MORE

  3. 17. Internal Erosion and Dam Stability : Analysis of the internal erosion effects on stability of an embankment dam

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geoteknologi

    Author : Arthur Jedenius; [2018]
    Keywords : Internal erosion stability finite element analysis method plaxis slope seep;

    Abstract : Embankment dams encounter several problems in terms of dam safety. One of those problems is called internal erosion. This phenomenon is induced by the movement of fine particles within the dam due to seepage forces. If the dam is not able to self-heal, the eroded zones will increase which will eventually cause the dam to fail. READ MORE

  4. 18. Progressive landslide analysis : Applications of a Finite Difference Method by Dr. Stig Bernander Case Study of the North Spur at Muskrat Falls, Labrador, Canada

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

    Author : Robin Dury; [2017]
    Keywords : Downhill progressive landslides; Slope stability; Sensitive clay; Deformation softening; Finite difference method; Brittle failure in clay; Liquefaction; Muskrat Falls project;

    Abstract : An easy-to-use spreadsheet version of a finite difference method for progressive landslide analysis has been developed. The finite difference method was originally developed by Dr. Stig Bernander, earlier adjunct professor at Luleå University of Technology and head of the Design Department of Skanska AB in Gothenburg, Sweden..

  5. 19. Effect of Environmental Factors on Pore Water Pressure in River Bank Sediments, Sollefteå, Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Hanna Fritzson; [2017]
    Keywords : negative pore water pressures; matrix suction; silt slope; slope stability; pore water pressure variations; negativa porvattentryck; siltslänt; släntstabilitet; porvattentrycksvariationer;

    Abstract : Pore water pressure in a silt slope in Sollefteå, Sweden, was measured from 2009-2016. The results from2009-2012 were presented and evaluated in a publication by Westerberg et al. (2014) and this report is an extension of that project.In a silt slope the pore water pressures are generally negative, contributing to the stability of theslope. READ MORE

  6. 20. Closure of Lilla Bredsjön Tailings Dam : an Evaluation of the Long-Term Dam Safety Measures

    University essay from KTH/Vattendragsteknik

    Author : Jenny Bramsäter; [2017]
    Keywords : tailings dams; seepage; pore pressure; slope stability; slip surfaces; long-term stability;

    Abstract : The mining industry contributes to enormous amounts of waste all over the world, which places high demands on tailings dams. In Sweden, there are strict regulations regarding the management and treatment of tailings dams, but some dams that were built before these regulations existed still pose a threat to the environment.
