  1. 1. Pile subjected to lateral load : Analytical hand calculation implemented by programming

    University essay from KTH/Byggteknik och design

    Author : Anders Nordlöf; Danny Holmboe; [2021]
    Keywords : Commission on Pile Research; report 101; pile foundation; transversely loaded piles; interaction pile soil; Mathcad; hand calculation method; Pålkommissionen; rapport 101; pålgrundläggning; transversalbelastade pålar; interaktion påle-jord; Mathcad; handberäkningsmetod;

    Abstract : The official recommendations in geotechnical engineering are according to Swedish practice to install inclined driven piles in order to resist external horizontal loads, which usually consist of windloads. These loads gets counteracted by utilizing the pile's axial load-bearing capacity, however when designing a foundation the use of inclined piles has proven to be problematic from a number of different perspectives.

  3. 2. Lateral resistance of short piles near slopes - a review of calculation methods

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för bygg- och miljöteknologi

    Author : Tomas Jönebratt; [2020]
    Keywords : Lateral load capacity; Horizontal load capacity; Piles near slopes; Approximate design methods; Soil; Geotechnical engineering; Friction soil; Wind load; Ultimate limit state; Noise screens; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Vid konstruktion av bullerskärmar så väljs vanligtvis pålning som grundläggningstyp. Det finns flera modeller som kan approximera ett krav på minsta pållängd beroende på olika typer jordförhållande och vindlast. READ MORE

  4. 3. Investigation and Development of the Design Process for a Pile Group with and without Lateral Resistance from the Soil

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för bygg- och miljöteknologi

    Author : Linda Johansson; Frida Liljefors; [2020]
    Keywords : pile group optimisation; objective function; frame analysis method; lateral resistance of the soil; pålgrupp; optimering; målfunktion; ramanalys; sidomotstånd från jord; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : For bridges in weak ground conditions, piling is an appropriate type of foundation. To manually arrange the piles in a pile group is an iterative, time consuming process where the section forces in the piles must be verified for a large number of load cases. READ MORE

  5. 4. Relationship between Shear-Wave Velocity and Consolidation Parameters of Peat

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

    Author : Oskar Markström; [2018]
    Keywords : shear wave velocity; peat; constant rate of strain; consolidation parameters; von Post; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : There is a need of developing methods for evaluating material parameters for peat. It is hard and costly to obtain undisturbed samples for laboratory testing of the peat. Therefore, in this thesis the possibility of using in situ measurements of the shear wave velocity for first order estimates of the consolidation parameters has been investigated. READ MORE
