  3. 2. Stochastic Settlement Model Including Creep Effects : Simulation of Groundwater Induced Subsidence

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Pierre Wikby; Ragnar Andersson; [2020]
    Keywords : creep settlement; secondary compression; geotechnical uncertainty; EMBANKCO; groundwater drawdown; time-dependent settlement model; krypsättningar; Sekundärkompression; geoteknisk osäkerhet; EMBANKCO; grundvattensänkning; tidsberoende sättningsmodell;

    Abstract : When underground openings are constructed, groundwater inflow can occur, which might lead to ground settlements, namely in clay. In these types of construction projects, it is beneficial to be able to quantify risks related to these settlements. A framework developed by Sundell et al. (2019, Risk Analysis, Vol. READ MORE

  4. 3. A Decision Support Tool to Assess and Prioritise Project Drawdown Solutions at the Local Level

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för strategisk hållbar utveckling

  6. 5. Modeling contingency infiltration scenarios in MODFLOW : Stockholm Bypass and tunnel induced groundwater drawdown

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Aslan Abdo; [2019]
    Keywords : tunnel induced groundwater drawdown; MODFLOW; artificial recharge; land subsidence; grundvattenavsänkning; tunnel inläckage; MODFLOW; infiltration; sättning;

    Abstract : Subsurface constructions, such as tunnels, create hydrogeological challenges in mitigating risk of subsidence due to groundwater drawdown. Presenting readily made precautionary mitigation plans, such as strategically planned artificial recharge applications, can help effectivise the mitigation process. READ MORE
