1. 1. 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

3. 2. Evaluation of bank erosion and stability analysis along Rönne å at Ängelholm, Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Arnold Mate Kalimukwa; Abuzack Juma Mohamed; [2021]
   Keywords : HEC-RAS; BSTEM; cross section; erosion; sediment transport; deposition; bank stability; safety factor; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This master thesis report presents the results of evaluation of bank erosion and stability analysis along Rönne å (river) at Ängelholm, located in south-west of Sweden within Scania. The main objectives cover building a hydrodynamic model, studying parameters that define sediment transport, modelling sediment transport within the river, mapping out erosive stretches and comparing to earlier observational study conducted by Norconsult in 2013, and finally conducting analysis of bank stability in most erosive stretches.

4. 3. Slope Stability Evaluation from a RiskManagement Perspective : Case Study: the Slussen project in Stockholm

   University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Louise Larsson; [2018]
   Keywords : Slope stability; shear strength; uncertainties; risk management; Släntstabilitet; Skjuvhållfasthet; riskhantering; osäkerheter;

   Abstract : Site characterization and the subsequent determination of soil strengthparameters constitute a significant part of slope stability assessment.Geotechnical engineering is always governed by great uncertainties sincethe soil properties are challenging to estimate for a large soil volume.

5. 4. Rockfalls from rock cuts beside Swedish railroads : A full scale fieldtest, to investigate rockfalls and how rock bounces

   University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Thomas Thorbjörnson Lind; [2016]
   Keywords : Rock cuts; rockfall; field test; coefficient of restitution; railway; Sweden; risk; Bergsskärning; stenras; fältförsök; coefficient of restitution; järnväg; Sverige; risk;

   Abstract : Rockfalls is a major problem around the world, if they occur in populated areas, they can cause major damage to infrastructure, injure or kill people. For this reason, it is important to be able to predict where the risk of rockfalls and how to prevent and protect populated areas from them. However, it is no easy task to predict rockfalls.

6. 5. The Effect of Matric Suction on Total Stability Evaluations in Clay

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

   Author : Robin Tvrdek; [2015]
   Keywords : Finite Element Method; Matric Suction; Soil Water Retention Cruve; Total Stability Evaluation; Excavation; Clay; Factor of Safety; Unsaturated Soil; Capillary Rise; Sheet pile; Plaxis; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : In this master´s dissertation I investigated if it is possible to increase the total stability for excavations in clay, if suction is taken into account during the calculations. The work has been performed at, and in cooperation with, Sweco Civil AB as well as the Dept. of Construction Sciences at Faculty of Engineering LTH, Lund University. READ MORE
