1. Application of ERT for Quality Assurance in Jet Grouting Columns; A development of an alternative quality control
University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi; Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI)Abstract : With the increased urbanization major cities are facing, expansion of larger facilities and households are inevitable. Expansion means larger areas of the surface needs to be used where the risk of varying subsurface soil properties increases with larger surface areas. READ MORE

2. Jet Grout Bottom Plug in Deep Excavations : Numerical Analysis of a Tunnel Project
University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanikAbstract : This master thesis has investigated the performance of a deep excavation with a jet grout bottom plug used to prevent bottom heave and hydraulic uplift failure. The concept of a jet grout plug as a structural and sealing component in a specific case was studied, namely one of the tunnel sections of The West Link tunnel project in Gothenburg. READ MORE

3. Geomechanical testing of non-hardening grout : for determination of flowability and strength properties
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/GeoteknologiAbstract : Due to an increasing amount of aging tendencies in Swedish embankment dams, failures such as internal erosion has become a more common problem. Internal erosion is a phenomenon where certain soil material within the embankment dam is removed, often over a longer period of time. READ MORE

4. Numerical simulations of pore pressure on concrete buttress dams
University essay from KTH/BetongbyggnadAbstract : Uplift pressure is one of the most dominant forces on a dam structure. Difference in head water and tail water creates a hydraulic gradient resulting an upward oriented pressure called uplift pressure, which reduces the dam safety against sliding. READ MORE

5. Development of grout for deep shaft
University essay from KTH/Byggteknik och designAbstract : In tunnel engineering one of the most important factors are the groundwater flow. To solve this problem a method called grouting is commonly used. In this study grout mixes are developed based on specific requirements for a deep shaft located next to a body of water. READ MORE
