   Abstract : Excavations in soft clays come with a number of specific challenges. The use of lime-cement columns in the passive zone of such works represents a promising solution to some of these problems, such as basal heave stability or excessive deformations. READ MORE

3. 2. Fault Tree Analysis of Quick Clay Slides

   University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Karl Bäckström; Andreas Linder; [2021]
   Keywords : Quick clay; Quick clay slides; Risk management; Fault tree analysis; Strain-softening behaviour; Kvicklera; Kvicklereskred; Felträdsanalys; Riskhantering; Töjningsmjuknande beteende;

   Abstract : Quick clay slides are quite rare but often leads to major consequences for the society. These type of slides are complex and the true causes leading to a slide is difficult to map since the evidence is destroyed during the slide. Because of this, different theories develop of the causes of the slide based on the same information. READ MORE
