  1. 16. Slope Stability Evaluation from a RiskManagement Perspective : Case Study: the Slussen project in Stockholm

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Louise Larsson; [2018]
    Keywords : Slope stability; shear strength; uncertainties; risk management; Släntstabilitet; Skjuvhållfasthet; riskhantering; osäkerheter;

    Abstract : Site characterization and the subsequent determination of soil strengthparameters constitute a significant part of slope stability assessment.Geotechnical engineering is always governed by great uncertainties sincethe soil properties are challenging to estimate for a large soil volume.

  3. 17. Application of Dynamic Grouting to Improve the Grout Spread Using Varying Aperture Long Slot (VALS) : AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik; KTH/Byggvetenskap

    Author : Robabeh Hosseini; Yalta Steven; [2018]
    Keywords : grout penetrability; filtration tendency; varying aperture long slot; sealing; cement-based grout; dynamic grouting; bruksinträngningsförmåga; filtrationstendens; VALS; tätning; cementbaserade injekteringsmedel; dynamisk injektering;

    Abstract : In the past centuries, grouting has been one of the most common techniques in geotechnical engineering to strengthen and seal underground structures. Concerning increasing demands for tightness and cost efficiency, cement-based grout has been one the most frequent used materials. READ MORE

  4. 18. Slope stability assessment through field monitoring

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Yukun Wei; [2018]
    Keywords : Slope stability; inclinometer; displacement; FEM; inverse analysis.;

    Abstract : Deterministic methods have been used in geotechnical engineering for a long period, such as slope stability calculations. However, only applying deterministic methods is subjective and imperfect. READ MORE

  5. 19. Relationship between Shear-Wave Velocity and Consolidation Parameters of Peat

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

    Author : Oskar Markström; [2018]
    Keywords : shear wave velocity; peat; constant rate of strain; consolidation parameters; von Post; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : There is a need of developing methods for evaluating material parameters for peat. It is hard and costly to obtain undisturbed samples for laboratory testing of the peat. Therefore, in this thesis the possibility of using in situ measurements of the shear wave velocity for first order estimates of the consolidation parameters has been investigated. READ MORE
