1. 6. Evaluation of cone factors for CPT-evaluation in CONRAD of sulphide- bearing soil in Mälardalen

   University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Matilda Garpefjäll; Hugo Hildingsson; [2020]
   Keywords : Sulphide soil; clay; CPT-evaluation; CONRAD; Mälardalen; Sulfidjord; lera; CPT-utvärdering; CONRAD; Mälardalen;

   Abstract : The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate how to evaluate CPT-soundings in sulphide soilfrom Mälardalen in CONRAD. The objective is to conclude whether sulphide soil from Mälardalenshould be evaluated with existing methods or a new method should be developed. READ MORE

3. 7. Evaluation of influence from matedness on the peak shear strength of natural rock joints

   University essay from KTH/Byggvetenskap

   Author : Emil Andersson; [2019]
   Keywords : Rock joints; Peak shear strength; Matedness; Casagrande et al. criterion; Peak friction angle; Shear strength; Bergssprickor; Maximal skjuvhållfasthet; Passning; Casagrande et al. kriterium; Friktionsvinkel; Skjuvhållfasthet;

   Abstract : In Sweden, the rock mass is commonly used for construction of tunnels and caverns. The rockmass is also used as a foundation for large structures such as bridge abutments and dams. Forthese structures, the understanding of the rock mechanical properties play a key role for reachingan acceptable safety level and minimizing cost. READ MORE

4. 8. Assessment of using liquidity index for the approximation of undrained shear strength of clay tills in Scania

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Dagnija Andreasson; [2019]
   Keywords : clay till; undrained shear strength; liquidity index; CPT; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Undrained shear strength is a crucial parameter of the clay-rich sediments commonly used in the design process of geotechnical structures and is determined by several tests. As a considerable part of these tests are cost- and time consuming, it is of interest to investigate the potential relationship with shear strength (cu) with alternative, easily measurable parameters, such as liquidity index (IL).

5. 9. Slope Stability Evaluation from a RiskManagement Perspective : Case Study: the Slussen project in Stockholm

   University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Louise Larsson; [2018]
   Keywords : Slope stability; shear strength; uncertainties; risk management; Släntstabilitet; Skjuvhållfasthet; riskhantering; osäkerheter;

   Abstract : Site characterization and the subsequent determination of soil strengthparameters constitute a significant part of slope stability assessment.Geotechnical engineering is always governed by great uncertainties sincethe soil properties are challenging to estimate for a large soil volume.

6. 10. Cone penetration testing in the clay tills of Skåne - An investigation of the cone factor

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

   Author : Johan Lindström; [2017]
   Keywords : Geotechnical engineering; Cone Penetration Testing; CPT; Clay Till; Skåne; Undrained shear strength; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The undrained shear strength is a key parameter in the design process of geotechnical structures. One of the most frequently used methods to investigate this parameter is the cone penetration test (CPT). READ MORE
