  1. 16. CPTu Configuration Impact on Evaluated Undrained Shear Strength

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Mårten Mjöberg; Axel Stenfors; [2020]
    Keywords : Cone Penetration Testing; Fields trials; Soil mechanics; Evaluated undrained shear strength.;

    Abstract : This thesis evaluates the commonly used geotechnical probing method CPTu, on how different probe configurations impact the resulting evaluated undrained shear strength in soft clay deposits, in comparison to each other and laboratory methods. This is done by performing field investigations on Lindefältet, Södermanlands län, Sweden. READ MORE

  3. 17. VERTICAL ELLIPTICAL ACCESS-SHAFTS Geometrical optimisation through FE-modelling

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

    Author : Björn Elfving; Aron Sandström; [2020]
    Keywords : Access-shafts; FE-modelling; Plaxis; Robot; Elliptical; Circular; Optimisation; Geotechnical; Engineering; Retaining; Structures; Tunnel; Soil; Interaction; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Urbanisation is causing densification of cities and more and more facilities are being placed in the underground to utilise the urban space as efficiently as possible. Access to the underground is obtained by constructing vertical access shafts. READ MORE

  4. 18. Evaluation of cone factors for CPT-evaluation in CONRAD of sulphide- bearing soil in Mälardalen

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Matilda Garpefjäll; Hugo Hildingsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Sulphide soil; clay; CPT-evaluation; CONRAD; Mälardalen; Sulfidjord; lera; CPT-utvärdering; CONRAD; Mälardalen;

    Abstract : The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate how to evaluate CPT-soundings in sulphide soilfrom Mälardalen in CONRAD. The objective is to conclude whether sulphide soil from Mälardalenshould be evaluated with existing methods or a new method should be developed. READ MORE

  5. 19. Foundations for generations : Sustainability in wind power planning

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Felix Söderberg; [2019]
    Keywords : Wind power; foundations; GIS; regional planning; MCA;

    Abstract : The demand for sustainable energy generation is constantly growing and with it comes higher demands on minimizing greenhouse gas emissions. This means not only finding ways of cleaner production processes from cradle to grave but also reducing the material use, extending the lifespan of constructions and finding ways to re-use and re-cycle materials.

  6. 20. Artificial intelligence to model bedrock depth uncertainty

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Beatriz Machado; [2019]
    Keywords : Machine learning; Artificial intelligence; Kriging; prediction; algorithm.;

    Abstract : The estimation of bedrock level for soil and rock engineering is a challenge associated to many uncertainties. Nowadays, this estimation is performed by geotechnical or geophysics investigations. These methods are expensive techniques, that normally are not fully used because of limited budget. READ MORE
