1. Soil Improvement method by Mass Stabilization : Settlement analysis in stabilized sulfide soil
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : Mass stabilization is not a common soil improvement method in Sweden, and even less so in sulfide soils. Previous research indicates that a linear elastic material model is suitable for settlements in stabilized sulfide soil. A construction project in the northern part of Sweden applied mass stabilization in sulfide soil. READ MORE

5. Study of Improved Sampling and Preparation of East-Swedish Glacial Clay
University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanikAbstract : The aim of this study is to determine if the mini block sampling technique couldoffer a complement to the Swedish standard StII piston sampler for achieving higherquality samples. The principle is that having a greater diameter the sample is meticulouslytrimmed to the usual geometry, so that the periphery of the sample is not disturbedby the sampling procedure and the same testing equipment can be employed.
