  1. 1. Probabilistic settlement analysis for embankments using preloading without surcharge

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Karl Escher; [2022]
    Keywords : Bayesian statistics; uncertainty; geotechnical risk evaluation; preloading; consolidation; embankments; ground improvement; dependence modelling.;

    Abstract : Preloading without a surcharge is a common method for ground improvement. Thereare however uncertainties related to the number of site investigations and the partialfactor method has been identified as a problem. READ MORE

  3. 2. Re-processing Reflection Seismic Data at a Quick-clay Landslide Site in Southwest Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Geofysik

    Author : Zhaochen Mu; [2022]
    Keywords : reprocess; reflection seismic; tomography; quick-clay; landslide;

    Abstract : This MSc thesis reprocessed seismic data collected at a site near the Gota River in 2011, focusing on two lines. The two seismic lines ran through a landslide scar zone for a total length of 1 km, both of which used dynamite as the seismic source. READ MORE

  4. 3. Soil profile analysis by vibration theory and the natural frequency : Applied on a case project

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geoteknologi

    Author : Malin Björklind; [2018]
    Keywords : Fourier Transformation; Accelerometer; Stenkumla Dunsjö; Railroad; Stenkumla Dunsjö;

    Abstract : To explore soil conditions at sites of infrastructure projects a number of geotechnical soundings are performed at appropriate intervals. Results are, in the nature of their set up, limited to the specific points at which the sounding is performed. READ MORE

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. 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.
