  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. 2D Effects of Geomorphology and Discharge on Hyporheic Exchange—a HEC-RAS Modelling Study

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Olivia Preston; [2020]
    Keywords : average hyporheic exchange velocity; water surface elevation; water surface concavity; hydrostatic head;

    Abstract : Hyporheic exchange is an ecologically and biogeochemically essential function of rivers and streams. One important driver of hydrostatic (hyporheic) exchange is gra- dients in the hydrostatic hydraulic head at the streambed. READ MORE

  4. 3. Modelling of Venous Biomechanics and Evaluation using Imaging, Positive Airway Pressure and Postural Changes

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Madelene Holmgren; [2016]
    Keywords : Jugular vein; Venous pressure; Positive airway pressure; Cross sectional area; Posture; Ultrasound; Halsven; Ventryck; Positivt luftvägstryck; Tvärsnittsarea; Kroppsposition; Ultraljud;

    Abstract : Knowledge about biomechanical properties of veins is of importance for understanding the physiologyof the venous system. Specifically for this thesis there is a motivation based on an idea of how to usebiomechanics of the vein in the development of new non-invasive measurement techniques for assessingthe pressure in the brain.
