1. Reinforcement Layout in Concrete Pile Foundations : A study based on non - linear finite element analysis
University essay from KTH/BetongbyggnadAbstract : 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

2. Probabilistic Assessment of Pile Drivability in Swedish Soils
University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanikAbstract : Site investigations are often performed prior to the design of pile foundations with the aim to collect data regarding soil properties including boulder content. The obtained data is typically limited due to non-homogeneous characteristic of the soil. READ MORE

3. WIND TURBINE FOUNDATIONS IN CLAY : Technical and economic considerations for proposals for wind turbine foundations
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : This thesis approaches the problem of the cost-efficient wind turbine foundation on an onshore site of clayey soil characteristics. The given soil stratigraphy includes a layer of clay and two sands of different density. The characteristics of the soil and the water level that were used as input come from a site in Peloponissos, Greece. READ MORE

4. Automatingand optimizing pile group design using a Genetic Algorithm
University essay from KTH/Optimeringslära och systemteoriAbstract : In bridge design, a set of piles is referred to as a pile group. The design process of pile groups employed by many firms is currently manual, time consuming, and produces pile groups that are not robust against placement errors. READ MORE

5. Analysis of an Inclined Pile in Settling Soil
University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanikAbstract : 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
