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. VERTICAL ELLIPTICAL ACCESS-SHAFTS Geometrical optimisation through FE-modelling

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geoteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

   Author : Björn Elfving; Aron Sandström; [2020]
   Keywords : Access-shafts; FE-modelling; Plaxis; Robot; Elliptical; Circular; Optimisation; Geotechnical; Engineering; Retaining; Structures; Tunnel; Soil; Interaction; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Urbanisation is causing densification of cities and more and more facilities are being placed in the underground to utilise the urban space as efficiently as possible. Access to the underground is obtained by constructing vertical access shafts. READ MORE

4. 3. Three-dimensional effects in slope stability for shallow excavations : Analyses with the finite element program PLAXIS

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

   Author : Niclas Lindberg; [2020]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The purpose with this study was to investigate the impact of three-dimensional effects in slope stability for three-dimensional excavations and slopes with cohesive soils and compare the results with the method provided by the Swedish commission of slope stability in 1995 regarding three-dimensional effects. Both the factor of safety and the shape of the slip surface was compared between the methods but also the results from their equivalent two-dimensional geometry. READ MORE

5. 4. Evaluation of future trial embankments : A study of measurement methods to apply on Lampen test embankments, Kalix, Sweden

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

   Author : Robin Holmström; Dmytro Yakubov; [2017]
   Keywords : Lampen; Future Embankments; Evaluation; Soil; Softsoil; Geotechnical Engineering;

   Abstract : At the Lampen site outside of Kalix, Sweden two embankments with heights 1,5m and 2m have been built to study and test the properties of sulfide soil that is located in the Gulf of Bothnia coastal areas. In this master thesis investigations have been done on what more could be done at the Lampen site today concerning new technics, measurements, observations and calculations etc. READ MORE

6. 5. Numerical Modelling and Sensitivity Analysis of Tunnel Deformations in London Clay

   University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Malin Sandström; [2016]
   Keywords : Small-strain stiffness; Mohr-Coulomb; Plaxis; sensitivity analysis; tunnels; London Clay;

   Abstract : In dense cities, the interactions between all structures, from tall skyscrapers to complex underground tunnel systems, need to be carefully analysed as soon as a new project is considered. This is necessary because of the stress changes in the soil induced by each new construction. READ MORE
