  1. 1. The effect of taper on pile shaft bearing capacity : Finite element analysis of a tapered wooden pile in sulfate soil

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

    Author : Jonathan Lindström; [2023]
    Keywords : Pile; taper; timber piles; wooden piles; sulphide soil; sulfate soil; tapered piles;

    Abstract : he usage of piles, especially wooden piles, have been going on for thousands of years in construction and foundation reinforcements. Sometimes this was done temporary like the Romans who used wooden piles to construct bridges in Britain, or more permanently like the piles upon which the floating city of Venice stands. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. 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

  6. 5. Settlement calculation for lime/cement column improved clay : Analytical and numerical analyses related to a case study

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Hulumtaye Kefyalew Yederulh; [2018]
    Keywords : LCC; deep mixing; consolidation settlement; rate of consolidation; numerical analysis; analytical analysis; field measurement.; KC-pelare; djupstabilisering; konsolideringssättningar; konsolideringsgrad; numerisk analys; analytisk analys; fältmätningar;

    Abstract : The dry deep mixing method is widely used to improve a soft clay soil to increase the shear strength as well as to reduce the time for consolidation. It is a mechanical mixing process that makes parts of the soil stiffer than its original strength. It is mainly applicable to soft clay or peat soil. READ MORE
