  1. 1. 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.

  3. 2. Reinforcement Layout in Concrete Pile Foundations : A study based on non - linear finite element analysis

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Mohammad Mustafa Angar; [2020]
    Keywords : Pile cap; Nonlinear finite element analysis; ATENA 3D; Reinforcement layout; Strut and tie method; Pålfundament; icke-linjära finita elementmodeller; strut and tie-metoden;

    Abstract : The main topic of this thesis concerns the behavior of concrete pile cap supported by four piles with two varying positions of longitudinal reinforcements. The positions include top of piles and bottom of the pile cap. For this purpose, non-linear finite element models of a pile cap are created using software ATENA 3D. READ MORE

  4. 3. Global stability of high-rise buildings on foundation on piles

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Husein Dhorajiwala; Agnieszka Owczarczyk; [2018]
    Keywords : High-rise buildings; Tall buildings; Buckling; Global Stability; Foundation; Straight piles; Inclined piles;

    Abstract : In Sweden as well as other countries the trend of building higher is more and more popular. The global stability of tall buildings is a very important aspect that has to be taken into account while designing. Foundation on piles, that is common in Sweden, reduces the global stability compared to foundation directly on bedrock. READ MORE

  5. 4. Validation toolbox for a Physics Engine

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Emma Sundling; [2016]
    Keywords : multi-body dynamics; evaluation; real-time simulation; dynamic simulation;

    Abstract : Physics engines become more and more common due to the rapid development and increasing demand of simulations. With this comes a need of testing the engine, a way to measure its performance, not only its speed but also its accuracy and stability. The purpose of this thesis has been to create a set of benchmark tests. READ MORE

  6. 5. Analysis of an Inclined Pile in Settling Soil

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Fredrik Resare; [2015]
    Keywords : Batter piles; raked piles; ground settlements; induced bending moments; lutande pålar; marksättning; nita elementmetoden; påle; transversalbelastning;

    Abstract : The use of inclined piles is an efficient way to handle horizontal forces in constructions. However, if the soil settles the structural bearing capacity of each pile is reduced because of induced bending moments in the pile. There are several reasons for a soil to settle, e.g. READ MORE
