1. 11. 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

3. 12. Settlement calculation for lime/cement column improved clay : Analytical and numerical analyses related to a case study

   University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Hulumtaye Kefyalew Yederulh; [2018]
   Keywords : LCC; deep mixing; consolidation settlement; rate of consolidation; numerical analysis; analytical analysis; field measurement.; KC-pelare; djupstabilisering; konsolideringssättningar; konsolideringsgrad; numerisk analys; analytisk analys; fältmätningar;

   Abstract : The dry deep mixing method is widely used to improve a soft clay soil to increase the shear strength as well as to reduce the time for consolidation. It is a mechanical mixing process that makes parts of the soil stiffer than its original strength. It is mainly applicable to soft clay or peat soil. READ MORE

4. 13. LABORATORY TESTING RELATED TO UNLOADING MODULUS OF SOFT CLAY

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

   Author : Sofia Hasselberg; [2018]
   Keywords : CRS; unloading modulus; storage time; clay; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The unloading modulus, together with the permeability, are responsible for the swelling process of a soil that is subjected to unloading. Studies to examine the unloading modulus of clay has previously been performed and several relationships describing this parameter has hence been developed. READ MORE

5. 14. Modeling of pore pressure in a railway embankment

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

   Author : Marcus Vestman; [2018]
   Keywords : PLAXIS; Pore pressure; Railway;

   Abstract : LKAB and Trafikverket want to increase the maximum allowed axial load from 30 tons to 32,5 tons for the northern part of Malmbanan. There are ongoing investigations of the condition of the railway with the current axial load of 30 tons. The investigations do not include one of Trafikverket's concerns about the condition of the railway. READ MORE

6. 15. Slope stability assessment through field monitoring

   University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Yukun Wei; [2018]
   Keywords : Slope stability; inclinometer; displacement; FEM; inverse analysis.;

   Abstract : Deterministic methods have been used in geotechnical engineering for a long period, such as slope stability calculations. However, only applying deterministic methods is subjective and imperfect. READ MORE
