  1. 1. Idealised remediation scenario in two small-scale intersecting fractures

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Agnes Zúniga Ekenberg; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Analysis of mass transport in rock fractures has become increasingly important in underground storage of radioactive materials and remediation of polluted groundwater in fractured rock aquifers. Permeability of rock mass is regulated by present rock fractures, where flow is mainly through the fracture networks. READ MORE

  3. 2. Groundwater Inflow into Fractured Rock Tunnels

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Mariam Beydoun; [2022]
    Keywords : groundwater inflow; rock tunnel; discrete fracture networks; discrete fracture-matrix; equivalent porous medium; Darcy’s Law; Reynold’s equation; cubic law; grundvatteninflöde; bergtunnel; discrete fracture networks; discrete fracture-matrix; equivalent porous medium; Darcy’s Law; Reynolds equation; cubic law;

    Abstract : Groundwater inflow is a challenge in construction of tunnels in fractured bedrocks since it affects the safety function of tunnels and leads to potential problems in the surrounding environment, such as subsidence, dropdown of the groundwater table. Quantification of groundwater inflow into the tunnel is also important for design of grouting in the construction of the tunnel. READ MORE

  4. 3. How can Inflow & Infiltration be effectively and sustainably managed? : MCA as a tool for decision support in planning Inflow & Infiltration

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Erika Qvick; [2021]
    Keywords : Inflow and infiltration; stormwater; sewer system; sustainable urban water management; decision support; multicriteria analysis; Tillskottsvatten; dagvatten; avloppssystem; hållbar urban vattenhantering; beslutsstöd; multikriterieanalys;

    Abstract : Inflow and infiltration (I/I) water in the sewer network originates from groundwater, precipitation, seawater as well as over-leakage from drinking water pipes. It is the proportion of water in the sewer system that is not wastewater and causes problems both at the treatment plant as well as in the sewer network. READ MORE

  5. 4. Stochastic Settlement Model Including Creep Effects : Simulation of Groundwater Induced Subsidence

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Pierre Wikby; Ragnar Andersson; [2020]
    Keywords : creep settlement; secondary compression; geotechnical uncertainty; EMBANKCO; groundwater drawdown; time-dependent settlement model; krypsättningar; Sekundärkompression; geoteknisk osäkerhet; EMBANKCO; grundvattensänkning; tidsberoende sättningsmodell;

    Abstract : When underground openings are constructed, groundwater inflow can occur, which might lead to ground settlements, namely in clay. In these types of construction projects, it is beneficial to be able to quantify risks related to these settlements. A framework developed by Sundell et al. (2019, Risk Analysis, Vol. READ MORE

  6. 5. Metal mobility and transport from an oil-shale mine, Lake Nõmmejärv, Estonia

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Åsa Ekelund; [2020]
    Keywords : Mine waste; Heavy metals; Oil shale; Lake sediments; Lake Nõmmejärv; Human impact; Kurtna kame field; Estonia.;

    Abstract : Mining activities have a large impact on the environment, for example by the release of heavy metals from acid mine drainage and erosion of mine waste. North-eastern Estonia has the largest commercially exploited oil-shale deposit in the world. READ MORE
