1. 1. 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

3. 2. Modelling of a compensated foundation in GeoSuite Settlement

   University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Linnea Hermansson; Rebecka Söderberg; [2020]
   Keywords : Compensated foundations; Load compensation; Lightweight material; Clay; Settlements; Creep; GeoSuite Settlement; Kompensationsgrundläggning; Lastkompensation; Lättfyllning; Lera; Sättningar; Krypning; GeoSuite Sättning;

   Abstract : The world today is constantly growing, creating a need of new roads and residential areas. New constructions lead to an increased load onto the soil, which can result in deformations when the soil layers underneath are compressed. To reduce the increased load on the soil, a compensated foundation can be used. READ MORE

6. 5. LABORATORY TESTING RELATED TO UNLOADING MODULUS OF SOFT CLAY

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

   Author : Sofia Hasselberg; [2018]
   Keywords : CRS; unloading modulus; storage time; clay; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The unloading modulus, together with the permeability, are responsible for the swelling process of a soil that is subjected to unloading. Studies to examine the unloading modulus of clay has previously been performed and several relationships describing this parameter has hence been developed. READ MORE
