  1. 1. Skyddsvallar mot översvämning runt Kristianstad : fyller de sin primära funktion och finns även potentiella sekundära funktioner?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Erika Persson Bivall; [2023]
    Keywords : Klimatförändring; klimatanpassning; översvämningsskydd; sekundära funktioner;

    Abstract : Klimatförändringar är ett allvarligt problem som vi behöver ta ansvar för. När temperaturen ökar i luften ökar även temperaturen i havet vilket orsakar att vattnet expanderar, isarna smälter och vi får kraftigare skyfall. 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

  5. 4. -2,32m: How to protect a city under water?

This has caused parts of Kristianstad to have the lowest point in Sweden, -2,32 meters below ocean level. READ MORE

  6. 5. 2D Modelling of Geosynthetically Reinforced Piled Embankments : Calibration Methods in PLAXIS 2D & Review of Analytical Guidelines

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Maya Sleiman; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the 2D modelling of Geosyntheticaly Reinforced Piled Embankments (GRPE) in PLAXIS 2D. In doing so, it explores two main aspects: 1) the calibration of Interface Stiffness Factors (ISFs) governing the soil-pile interaction of Embedded BeamRow (EBR) elements in PLAXIS 2D, and 2) the prospects and limitations of modelling geogrids (GR) in PLAXIS 2D when underlain by EBR elements; although several studies have validates the EBR element in modelling piles, none address the geogrid-EBR interaction and its implications on modelling GRPE systems.
