  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. 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
