  1. 21. Cone penetration testing in the clay tills of Skåne - An investigation of the cone factor

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

    Author : Johan Lindström; [2017]
    Keywords : Geotechnical engineering; Cone Penetration Testing; CPT; Clay Till; Skåne; Undrained shear strength; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The undrained shear strength is a key parameter in the design process of geotechnical structures. One of the most frequently used methods to investigate this parameter is the cone penetration test (CPT). READ MORE

  3. 22. Evaluation of future trial embankments : A study of measurement methods to apply on Lampen test embankments, Kalix, Sweden

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

    Author : Robin Holmström; Dmytro Yakubov; [2017]
    Keywords : Lampen; Future Embankments; Evaluation; Soil; Softsoil; Geotechnical Engineering;

    Abstract : At the Lampen site outside of Kalix, Sweden two embankments with heights 1,5m and 2m have been built to study and test the properties of sulfide soil that is located in the Gulf of Bothnia coastal areas. In this master thesis investigations have been done on what more could be done at the Lampen site today concerning new technics, measurements, observations and calculations etc. READ MORE

  4. 23. The Effect of Matric Suction on Total Stability Evaluations in Clay

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

    Author : Robin Tvrdek; [2015]
    Keywords : Finite Element Method; Matric Suction; Soil Water Retention Cruve; Total Stability Evaluation; Excavation; Clay; Factor of Safety; Unsaturated Soil; Capillary Rise; Sheet pile; Plaxis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In this master´s dissertation I investigated if it is possible to increase the total stability for excavations in clay, if suction is taken into account during the calculations. The work has been performed at, and in cooperation with, Sweco Civil AB as well as the Dept. of Construction Sciences at Faculty of Engineering LTH, Lund University. READ MORE

  5. 24. Accuracy and precision of bedrock sur-face prediction using geophysics and geostatistics.

    University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknik

    Author : Henrik Örn; [2015]
    Keywords : Bedrock surface prediction; Geotechnical site investigations; Sampling techniques; Geophysics; Kriging; Inverse distance weighting;

    Abstract : In underground construction and foundation engineering uncertainties associated with subsurface properties are inevitable to deal with. Site investigations are expensive to perform, but a limited understanding of the subsurface may result in major problems; which often lead to an unexpected increase in the overall cost of the construction project.

  6. 25. Lime modification of clay till - A case study

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

    Author : Emil Westesson; [2015]
    Keywords : clay till; quicklime; lime modification; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This report deals with lime modification of clay till. Lime modification means that the compaction properties of the soil are improved by the addition of lime. READ MORE
