1. 16. Internal Erosion and Dam Stability : Analysis of the internal erosion effects on stability of an embankment dam

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geoteknologi

   Author : Arthur Jedenius; [2018]
   Keywords : Internal erosion stability finite element analysis method plaxis slope seep;

   Abstract : Embankment dams encounter several problems in terms of dam safety. One of those problems is called internal erosion. This phenomenon is induced by the movement of fine particles within the dam due to seepage forces. If the dam is not able to self-heal, the eroded zones will increase which will eventually cause the dam to fail. READ MORE

3. 17. Short-term deformations in clay under a formwork during the construction of a bridge : A design study

   University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Alexander Berglin; [2017]
   Keywords : Plaxis; Short-term deformations; Elasticity modulus; Correlations; Small-strain stiffness; Korttidssättningar; Elasticitetsmodulen; Korrelationer;

   Abstract : During the casting of a concrete bridge deck, the temporary formwork is causing the underlying ground to deform if a shallow foundation solution is used. There are often demands on the maximum deformation of the superstructure when designing the foundation for the formwork. READ MORE

4. 18. 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

5. 19. 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

6. 20. The Effect of Matric Suction on Total Stability Evaluations in Clay

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

   Author : Robin Tvrdek; [2015]
   Keywords : Finite Element Method; Matric Suction; Soil Water Retention Cruve; Total Stability Evaluation; Excavation; Clay; Factor of Safety; Unsaturated Soil; Capillary Rise; Sheet pile; Plaxis; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : In this master´s dissertation I investigated if it is possible to increase the total stability for excavations in clay, if suction is taken into account during the calculations. The work has been performed at, and in cooperation with, Sweco Civil AB as well as the Dept. of Construction Sciences at Faculty of Engineering LTH, Lund University. READ MORE
