1. 6. Modelling masonry spires : An investigation

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Dennis Lillemo; [2021]
   Keywords : Abaqus; Concrete damage plasticity; Finite element method; Limit analysis; Macro-modelling; Masonry; Masonry spire; Nonlinear material; Salisbury Cathedral; Abaqus; Concrete damage plasticity; Finita elementmetoden; Gränsanalys; Makromodellering; Murverk; Murad tornspira; Icke-linjärt material; Katedralen i Salisbury;

   Abstract : Masonry spires are a typical part of church architecture. Since it is rare that masonry is used as a load-bearing material in the western world today, it is important to maintain and increase the knowledge of modelling masonry structures both from a maintenance point of view and to build new masonry structures.

3. 7. 2D Modelling of Geosynthetically Reinforced Piled Embankments : Calibration Methods in PLAXIS 2D & Review of Analytical Guidelines

   University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Maya Sleiman; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on the 2D modelling of Geosyntheticaly Reinforced Piled Embankments (GRPE) in PLAXIS 2D. In doing so, it explores two main aspects: 1) the calibration of Interface Stiffness Factors (ISFs) governing the soil-pile interaction of Embedded BeamRow (EBR) elements in PLAXIS 2D, and 2) the prospects and limitations of modelling geogrids (GR) in PLAXIS 2D when underlain by EBR elements; although several studies have validates the EBR element in modelling piles, none address the geogrid-EBR interaction and its implications on modelling GRPE systems.

4. 8. 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

5. 9. Soil reinforcement with geopolymer : A FEM study in the Old Town subway track adjacent to Söderströmsbron

   University essay from KTH/Byggteknik och design

   Author : Alexandra Mikha; Gina Radouani; [2020]
   Keywords : Plaxis 2D; Finite element analysis; geopolymer; interference-free reinforcement; Old Town; Plaxis 2D; finita element analys; geopolymer; störningsfri förstärkning; Gamla Stan;

   Abstract : Söderströmsbron is the bridge that leads the subway between Slussen and Gamla Stan in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. It is one of the busiest routes in the entire SL traffic system. READ MORE

6. 10. Modelling of a compensated foundation in GeoSuite Settlement

   University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Linnea Hermansson; Rebecka Söderberg; [2020]
   Keywords : Compensated foundations; Load compensation; Lightweight material; Clay; Settlements; Creep; GeoSuite Settlement; Kompensationsgrundläggning; Lastkompensation; Lättfyllning; Lera; Sättningar; Krypning; GeoSuite Sättning;

   Abstract : The world today is constantly growing, creating a need of new roads and residential areas. New constructions lead to an increased load onto the soil, which can result in deformations when the soil layers underneath are compressed. To reduce the increased load on the soil, a compensated foundation can be used. READ MORE
