1. 1. The climate impact of fishways : A life cycle assessment of Blyberg’s and Spjutmo’s up- and downstream fishways

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Industriell miljöteknik

   Author : Ellen Lundin; Lovisa Liljenberg; [2023]
   Keywords : LCA; life cycle analysis; life cycle assessment; fishways; fish; fish migration; climate impact; technical fishways; co2 equivalents; co2 eq; hydro power; HPP; Sweden; construction; concrete; reinforcement steel;

   Abstract : The Swedish national plan for reapproval of hydropower describes that hydropower plants (HPPs) are required to be reassessed to ensure that modern environmental conditions are set for the permits. Since dams and HPPs create barriers for migrating fish and consequently disfavor biological diversity, one consequence of the national plan is that fishways are being constructed. READ MORE

3. 2. Investigation of Influential Contexts on Mining-front Seismicity at Kiirunavaara Mine

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geoteknologi

   Author : Bernardo Filizzola; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Mining at great depths has become the reality for the mining industry in Sweden, that faces challenges in terms of increasing seismic events and sometimes intrinsically related rock mass failure. Kiirunavaara mine is owned by LKAB (located at north Sweden) and the company has been dealing with seismicity in a daily basis once the mine has been regarded as seismically active since 2007-2008 and presently has the largest seismic monitoring system in the world.

4. 3. Study of demolition processes for prestressed concrete bridges: Kalix bridge

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

   Author : Lundin Hanna; [2022]
   Keywords : Kalix bridge; demolition methods; demolition process; FEM analysis; Kalixbron; rivningsmetoder; rivningsprocesser; FEM analys;

   Abstract : Bridges in Sweden are getting older and some of them are reaching their designed life span. With an older generation of bridges, the need for a good understanding of demolition processes increase. The Kalix bridge is planned to be demolished and will be used as a case study in this thesis.

5. 4. Stress dependent flow behavior in sublevel caving mines

   University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Linde Mattsson; [2022]
   Keywords : level caving; Material Flow; Mining; Discrete element modeling.;

   Abstract : Sublevel caving is an underground mass mining method that utilizes the gravity-induced material flow for ore extraction. The granular flowbehavior is one of the main phenomena describing this mining method’s efficiency; therefore, a good understanding of the flow behavior is essential. READ MORE

6. 5. Petrography and Thermodynamic Modelling of Svecofennian Arsenic-bearing Metasupracrustal Rocks in the Arlanda Area, West-Central Fennoscandian Shield

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Klara Skoog; [2022]
   Keywords : Bergslagen; Svecokarelian orogeny; metamorphism; arsenic; optical microscopy; electron microprobe; thermodynamic modelling; Bergslagen; Svecokarelska orogenesen; metamorfos; arsenik; optisk mikroskopering; elektron mikrosond; termodynamisk modellering;

   Abstract : The Arlanda area is a construction intensive area facing problems with risk of leaching of arsenic (As) from the bedrock to surface- and groundwater. Construction projects in the area have had problems with high levels of As in the bedrock and the risk of leaching increases through processing of aggregates and blasting of the bedrock. READ MORE
