  1. 16. Evaluation of distribution coefficients (KOC and Kd) for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för biologi och miljö (BOM)

    Author : Nika Nordanstorm; [2021]
    Keywords : PFAS; PFOS; organic contaminant; sorption; Kd; KOC; distribution coefficient; solubility; mobility; environmental fate; environmental transport; contaminated site; hydrophobic interaction; electrostatic interaction;

    Abstract : The dominating factors affecting sorption of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) remain subject of research and debate. Traditionally, distribution coefficients (e.g. READ MORE

  3. 17. Evaluation of the test procedure for a Rubber Balloon Soil Densitometer

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

    Author : Mohammad Minhajur Ahmed; [2021]
    Keywords : Rubber Balloon Soil Densitometer; compacted soil; density; volumetric measurement; artificial pits.;

    Abstract : A Rubber Balloon Soil Densitometer is one of the essential apparatuses in Geotechnical Engineering to measure the in-place volume of compacted soil to calculate the soil density. In 2019, some renowned institutions and organizations, Vattenfall, Luleå University of Technology, Uppsala University, Lund University, and HydroResearch AB, were involved in a research project.

  4. 18. Leachate-Based Biotic Ligand Model for Soil : Ecotoxicological Risk Assessment of Copper for Invertebrates, Plants, and Soil Microbial Processes

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Tove Florén; [2021]
    Keywords : Tomato shoot; Barley root; Glucose induced respiration; Nitrification; Earthworm; Springtail; EC10; SSD; Regression analysis; pH dependency; Bioavailability;

    Abstract : Environmental pollution of heavy metals has become an increasing problem. Environmental risk assessments can be conducted to investigate and determine the potential risk of polluted terrestrial environments. Traditionally, risk assessments are based on total soil metal concentrations on a dry weight basis. READ MORE

  5. 19. Evaluation of bank erosion and stability analysis along Rönne å at Ängelholm, Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Arnold Mate Kalimukwa; Abuzack Juma Mohamed; [2021]
    Keywords : HEC-RAS; BSTEM; cross section; erosion; sediment transport; deposition; bank stability; safety factor; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This master thesis report presents the results of evaluation of bank erosion and stability analysis along Rönne å (river) at Ängelholm, located in south-west of Sweden within Scania. The main objectives cover building a hydrodynamic model, studying parameters that define sediment transport, modelling sediment transport within the river, mapping out erosive stretches and comparing to earlier observational study conducted by Norconsult in 2013, and finally conducting analysis of bank stability in most erosive stretches.

  6. 20. Pile subjected to lateral load : Analytical hand calculation implemented by programming

    University essay from KTH/Byggteknik och design

    Author : Anders Nordlöf; Danny Holmboe; [2021]
    Keywords : Commission on Pile Research; report 101; pile foundation; transversely loaded piles; interaction pile soil; Mathcad; hand calculation method; Pålkommissionen; rapport 101; pålgrundläggning; transversalbelastade pålar; interaktion påle-jord; Mathcad; handberäkningsmetod;

    Abstract : The official recommendations in geotechnical engineering are according to Swedish practice to install inclined driven piles in order to resist external horizontal loads, which usually consist of windloads. These loads gets counteracted by utilizing the pile's axial load-bearing capacity, however when designing a foundation the use of inclined piles has proven to be problematic from a number of different perspectives.
