  1. 1. Soil Improvement method by Mass Stabilization : Settlement analysis in stabilized sulfide soil

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Albin Åkerlund; [2023]
    Keywords : Mass stabilization; Sulfide soil; settlement.;

    Abstract : Mass stabilization is not a common soil improvement method in Sweden, and even less so in sulfide soils. Previous research indicates that a linear elastic material model is suitable for settlements in stabilized sulfide soil. A construction project in the northern part of Sweden applied mass stabilization in sulfide soil. READ MORE

  3. 2. Probabilistic settlement analysis for embankments using preloading without surcharge

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Karl Escher; [2022]
    Keywords : Bayesian statistics; uncertainty; geotechnical risk evaluation; preloading; consolidation; embankments; ground improvement; dependence modelling.;

    Abstract : Preloading without a surcharge is a common method for ground improvement. Thereare however uncertainties related to the number of site investigations and the partialfactor method has been identified as a problem. READ MORE

  4. 3. Timber pile-supported road embankment : Numerical and analytical analysis of field monitoring project E4 Råneå

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geoteknologi

    Author : Kent Nystedt; [2022]
    Keywords : Geosynthetic reinforcement; Geosynthetic reinforced pile supported embankment; Pile distance; Embankment height; Finite element method; Pile efficacy;

    Abstract : The previous E4 Råneå road embankment was prone to flooding. Risk of flooding in combination with settlements of the road due to the weak underlying sulphide soil was problematic. The Swedish Transportation Administration improved the length section E4 Råneå by rebuilding the road using the method light embankment piling. READ MORE

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. An Internal Threat: Are the Young Losing Interest in Democracy? : A descriptive study on support for democracy in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen
