  1. 1. Timber pile-supported road embankment : Numerical and analytical analysis of field monitoring project E4 Råneå

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geoteknologi

    Author : Kent Nystedt; [2022]
    Keywords : Geosynthetic reinforcement; Geosynthetic reinforced pile supported embankment; Pile distance; Embankment height; Finite element method; Pile efficacy;

    Abstract : The previous E4 Råneå road embankment was prone to flooding. Risk of flooding in combination with settlements of the road due to the weak underlying sulphide soil was problematic. The Swedish Transportation Administration improved the length section E4 Råneå by rebuilding the road using the method light embankment piling. READ MORE

  3. 2. Determinants of electric vehicle adoption in Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Author : Liga Barisa; [2022]
    Keywords : EV adoption; Technology; Swedish environmental policies;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the determinants of electric vehicle (EV) adoption in Sweden. A linear-logarithmic regression model is estimated on annual data from 2011 to 2020. In addition to a national level analysis, the thesis carried out separate analysis for the regions of Norrland, Götaland and Svealand to find any regional differences. READ MORE

  4. 3. Inverse Atmospheric Dispersion Modeling in Complex Geometries

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Charlie Pelland; [2022]
    Keywords : atmospheric dispersion modeling; dispersion modeling; invers dispersion modeling; atmospheric dispersion; invers atmospheric dispersion; CFD; computational fluid dynamics; radioactive release; openfoam; CRBN; dry deposition; dry deposition velocity; scavenging effect; wet deposition; optimization model; Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes; adjoint mode; time-dependent rain simulation; time-dependent rain; time dependent rain simulation; time dependent rain;

    Abstract : In the event of a radioactive release in an urban environment the consequent response mustbe swift and precise. As soon as first responders have correct information, they can make anaccurate risk assessment. However, if the position, release rate and time of the radioactiverelease is unknown it is hard to know how the pollutant will spread. READ MORE

  5. 4. Labor discrimination in the US : A study about ethnic discrimination against Hispanics in the United States’ labor market and how Donald Trump’s involvement has affected it.

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för nationalekonomi och statistik (NS)

By comparing the income of Hispanics with White-Americans with data collected from IPUMS between the years 2010-2019. READ MORE

  6. 5. Basic Creep of Young Concrete - Sensitivity in the Evaluation Method

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Benar Ekmat; Natalea Hermes; [2019]
    Keywords : thermal cracking; young concrete; creep; Linear Logarithmic Model; temperature development; average strain; sensitivity.; Temperatursprickor; ung betong; krypning; Linjär Logaritmisk Modell; temperaturutveckling; töjning; känslighet.;

    Abstract : Creep is defined as deformation that takes place under constant load after an initial elastic response. This thesis focuses on a material property problem area that concerns stress analysis. Focus is on stress development considering creep deformations occurring when a concrete structure is under load, i.e. READ MORE
