1. Numerical modelling of lime-cementcolumns in the passive zone of excavations in soft clays
University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanikAbstract : Excavations in soft clays come with a number of specific challenges. The use of lime-cement columns in the passive zone of such works represents a promising solution to some of these problems, such as basal heave stability or excessive deformations. READ MORE

2. Settlement calculation for lime/cement column improved clay : Analytical and numerical analyses related to a case study
University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanikAbstract : The dry deep mixing method is widely used to improve a soft clay soil to increase the shear strength as well as to reduce the time for consolidation. It is a mechanical mixing process that makes parts of the soil stiffer than its original strength. It is mainly applicable to soft clay or peat soil. READ MORE

4. Short-term deformations in clay under a formwork during the construction of a bridge : A design study
University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanikAbstract : During the casting of a concrete bridge deck, the temporary formwork is causing the underlying ground to deform if a shallow foundation solution is used. There are often demands on the maximum deformation of the superstructure when designing the foundation for the formwork. READ MORE
