1. The effect of taper on pile shaft bearing capacity : Finite element analysis of a tapered wooden pile in sulfate soil
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : he usage of piles, especially wooden piles, have been going on for thousands of years in construction and foundation reinforcements. Sometimes this was done temporary like the Romans who used wooden piles to construct bridges in Britain, or more permanently like the piles upon which the floating city of Venice stands. READ MORE

2. 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

3. Back analysis of rock mass properties in the regional fault zone under Lake Mälaren
University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanikAbstract : The properties of the surrounding rock mass in underground projects have significant impacts on the design and construction. However, it is quite challenging to evaluate rock mass properties due to the great uncertainties of the geological conditions. READ MORE

4. Finite Element Modeling of Installation Effects of Soil-Cement Columns
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : Since the 1970's deep mixing columns have been widely used all over the world to improve the performance of soft soil in regard to bearing capacity or deformation behaviour. They are installed by mixing a binding agent, e.g. cement, in situ with the soil. READ MORE

5. Jet Grout Bottom Plug in Deep Excavations : Numerical Analysis of a Tunnel Project
University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanikAbstract : This master thesis has investigated the performance of a deep excavation with a jet grout bottom plug used to prevent bottom heave and hydraulic uplift failure. The concept of a jet grout plug as a structural and sealing component in a specific case was studied, namely one of the tunnel sections of The West Link tunnel project in Gothenburg. READ MORE
