1. 1. Estimating the probability of levee failure for flood risk mapping : An application to Paglia River

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Theodora Neromylioti; [2020]
   Keywords : Levee failure; inner erosion; piping; backward erosion; seepage; probability of failure; fragility curves; time-dependent failure; hydraulic modelling; flood risk; flood inundation; HEC-RAS;

   Abstract : Climate change results to more extreme and frequent flood events that induce extra risk to flood protection structures such as levees. Thus, estimation of the probability of levee failure is of utmost importance when it comes to structural safety and flood risk assessment. READ MORE

3. 2. Reliability – based analysis of embankment dams

   University essay from KTH/Byggvetenskap

   Author : Xiaochen Liu; [2019]
   Keywords : Embankment dams; reliability-based analysis; slope stability analysis; internal erosion; dam safety; fyllningsdammar; tillförlitlighetsbaserad analys; analys av släntstabilitet; inre erosion; dammsäkerhet;

   Abstract : Embankment dams are widely used as water-retaining structures through the world. Two principal structural failure modes of embankment dams are internal erosion and slope instability. The objective of this thesis is to investigate the feasibility of applying probabilistic methods in embankment dam assessment. READ MORE

5. 4. 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. 5. Effect of Environmental Factors on Pore Water Pressure in River Bank Sediments, Sollefteå, Sweden

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Hanna Fritzson; [2017]
   Keywords : negative pore water pressures; matrix suction; silt slope; slope stability; pore water pressure variations; negativa porvattentryck; siltslänt; släntstabilitet; porvattentrycksvariationer;

   Abstract : Pore water pressure in a silt slope in Sollefteå, Sweden, was measured from 2009-2016. The results from2009-2012 were presented and evaluated in a publication by Westerberg et al. (2014) and this report is an extension of that project.In a silt slope the pore water pressures are generally negative, contributing to the stability of theslope. READ MORE
