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. Synchrotron X-ray Tomography Study of Bone-implant Integration

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

   Author : Ornella Lohéac; [2021]
   Keywords : Bone-implant; Digital volume correlation; Micro-computed tomography; PEEK; Synchrotron; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Implant loosening is a recurring problem in the field of orthopedics, typically resulting in a physical and financial burden for the patient. Proper integration of orthopedic implants within host bones is a fundamental requirement for the successful function and limited risk of failure of implants which, in-vivo, must support various loading conditions.

4. 3. Long-term deformation of balanced cantilever bridges due to non-uniform creep and shrinkage

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Sidra Akbar; Mathias Carlie; [2021]
   Keywords : Balanced cantilever bridges; box girder cross-section; concrete; non-uniform creep and shrinkage; Bažant’s B4 model; Eurocode 2; long-term deformations; finite element analysis; Freivorbau broar; lådtvärsnitt; betong; ojämnkrypningoch krympning; BažantsB4 modell; Eurokod 2; långtidsdeformationer; finita element analys;

   Abstract : Balanced cantilever bridges have historically experienced excessive deformations. Previous researchsuggeststhat the cause may be due to differential thickness in the box girder cross-section and underestimation of creep and shrinkage. READ MORE

5. 4. Modelling of a compensated foundation in GeoSuite Settlement

   University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Linnea Hermansson; Rebecka Söderberg; [2020]
   Keywords : Compensated foundations; Load compensation; Lightweight material; Clay; Settlements; Creep; GeoSuite Settlement; Kompensationsgrundläggning; Lastkompensation; Lättfyllning; Lera; Sättningar; Krypning; GeoSuite Sättning;

   Abstract : The world today is constantly growing, creating a need of new roads and residential areas. New constructions lead to an increased load onto the soil, which can result in deformations when the soil layers underneath are compressed. To reduce the increased load on the soil, a compensated foundation can be used. READ MORE

6. 5. Evaluation of future trial embankments : A study of measurement methods to apply on Lampen test embankments, Kalix, Sweden

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

   Author : Robin Holmström; Dmytro Yakubov; [2017]
   Keywords : Lampen; Future Embankments; Evaluation; Soil; Softsoil; Geotechnical Engineering;

   Abstract : At the Lampen site outside of Kalix, Sweden two embankments with heights 1,5m and 2m have been built to study and test the properties of sulfide soil that is located in the Gulf of Bothnia coastal areas. In this master thesis investigations have been done on what more could be done at the Lampen site today concerning new technics, measurements, observations and calculations etc. READ MORE
