  1. 1. Geomechanical testing of non-hardening grout : for determination of flowability and strength properties

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geoteknologi

    Author : Axel Barrdahl; [2022]
    Keywords : Non-hardening; Grout; Embankment dam; Repair; Fall cone; Uniaxial Compressive Strength; UCS; Triaxial;

    Abstract : Due to an increasing amount of aging tendencies in Swedish embankment dams, failures such as internal erosion has become a more common problem. Internal erosion is a phenomenon where certain soil material within the embankment dam is removed, often over a longer period of time. READ MORE

  3. 2. On Optimal Lateral Tracking Control for Multi-Steered Autonomous Vehicles

    University essay from KTH/Optimeringslära och systemteori

    Author : Axel Strömberg; [2021]
    Keywords : Autonomous vehicles; path tracking; lateral control; preview control; vehicle motion control; Autonoma fordon; banföljande; lateral kontroll; kontroll genom förhandsgranskning; kontroll av fordonsdynamik;

    Abstract : The transport industry is experiencing a disruption as fully autonomous vehicles are introduced in traffic. The intelligent, driverless vehicles will reduce cost, liberate human effort and increase safety. READ MORE

  4. 3. The Significance of Giant Flank Collapses on Magma Ascent in the NE Rift Zone of Tenerife, Canary Islands: A Structural Modelling and Diffusion Approach

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Kristoffer Ånäs; [2021]
    Keywords : Tenerife; volcanic rift zones; analogue gelatine experiments; dykes; Fe-Mg diffusion; ankaramite; Teneriffa; vulkaniska sprickzoner; analoga gelatinexperiment; gångar; Fe-Mg diffusion; ankaramit;

    Abstract : On the volcanic ocean island Tenerife in the Canary archipelago, several giant flank collapses haveoccurred over the last one million years. The link between the lateral collapses and the resultingvolcanism in the rift zones is not fully understood and was investigated within the framework of thisproject. READ MORE

  5. 4. Study of Improved Sampling and Preparation of East-Swedish Glacial Clay

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : CLARA GARCIA DE HERREROS; [2020]
    Keywords : clay; disturbance; sample quality; block sampling; preconsolidation pressure; shear strength.;

    Abstract : The aim of this study is to determine if the mini block sampling technique couldoffer a complement to the Swedish standard StII piston sampler for achieving higherquality samples. The principle is that having a greater diameter the sample is meticulouslytrimmed to the usual geometry, so that the periphery of the sample is not disturbedby the sampling procedure and the same testing equipment can be employed.

  6. 5. Evaluating undrained shear strength of clay with DPSH-A - A down to earth assessment of the applicability in Scania, Sweden

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

    Author : Julia Knutsson; [2018]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The undrained shear strength of cohesive soils is an important parameter to assess in geotechnical investigations. It is normally evaluated with the cone penetration test (CPT) but problems with penetrating coarse, heterogeneous materials that is also hard, such as clay till, have pointed the interest towards other possible in-situ methods.
