  1. 21. An Investigation of the breakage process of particles : With help of experimental results and discrete element methods

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

    Author : Ronni Bashiry; [2021]
    Keywords : Geotechnical Engineering; Breakage; Fracture; Spherical particles; DEM; Modelling; Numerical modelling;

    Abstract : In this study the breakage mechanics of brittle glass marbles was investigated. The pro-cess was to firstly investigate them in laboratory environment. The marbles or specimens was loaded until a crushing breakage occurred in a single point load test called Single Sphere Point load test in this document. READ MORE

  3. 22. Integration of Borehole, Ground, and Airborne Data to Improve Identification of Areas With Quick Clays in Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Geofysik

    Author : Oskar Rydman; [2021]
    Keywords : TEM; tTEM; Quick clay; SkyTEM; ATEM; CPTR; CPTU-R; Landslides; Frastad; TEM; tTEM; Quick clay; SkyTEM; ATEM; CPTR; CPTU-R; Jordskred; Fråstad;

    Abstract : The main focus of the project was the comparison of results from a new towed transientelectromagnetic (tTEM) data set with existing data including airborne transient EM(ATEM), radio magnetotellurics (RMT), cone penetration test with resistivity (CPT-R),geotechnical interpretations and geological observations in a quick clay landslide site atFråstad close to Lilla Edet in south-west Sweden. The tTEM data set was processedand inverted twice in the software Aarhus workbench using different inversion constraintsand settings. READ MORE

  4. 23. Stochastic Settlement Model Including Creep Effects : Simulation of Groundwater Induced Subsidence

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Pierre Wikby; Ragnar Andersson; [2020]
    Keywords : creep settlement; secondary compression; geotechnical uncertainty; EMBANKCO; groundwater drawdown; time-dependent settlement model; krypsättningar; Sekundärkompression; geoteknisk osäkerhet; EMBANKCO; grundvattensänkning; tidsberoende sättningsmodell;

    Abstract : When underground openings are constructed, groundwater inflow can occur, which might lead to ground settlements, namely in clay. In these types of construction projects, it is beneficial to be able to quantify risks related to these settlements. A framework developed by Sundell et al. (2019, Risk Analysis, Vol. READ MORE

  5. 24. Lateral resistance of short piles near slopes - a review of calculation methods

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för bygg- och miljöteknologi

    Author : Tomas Jönebratt; [2020]
    Keywords : Lateral load capacity; Horizontal load capacity; Piles near slopes; Approximate design methods; Soil; Geotechnical engineering; Friction soil; Wind load; Ultimate limit state; Noise screens; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Vid konstruktion av bullerskärmar så väljs vanligtvis pålning som grundläggningstyp. Det finns flera modeller som kan approximera ett krav på minsta pållängd beroende på olika typer jordförhållande och vindlast. READ MORE

  6. 25. Geotechnical reinforcement work for foundation of extending an existing residential building

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Malin Karlbom; Lovisa Hallman; [2020]
    Keywords : Geotechnical reinforcement work of foundation; drilled piles; steel piles; superstructure; extension of wood; Grundförstärkning; borrade pålar; stålpålar; våningspåbyggnad; påbyggnation av trä;

    Abstract : The last hundreds of years there has been a land elevation that causes an increased distance between the groundwater level and the buildings founded on wooden piles. When wooden piles are exposed to air, rot fungus occurs which causes the pile to lose its bearing capacity. READ MORE
