  1. 1. Assessment of Ground Vibration for Early-Stage Design

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Fadi Rafea Jameel Jameel; Patrick Francesco Joseph; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Ground borne vibrations in urban areas can be caused by human activities such as railwayand road traffic, construction works and industrial manufacturing. These vibrations can playa significant role in human comfort and the disruption of vibration sensitive equipment inbuildings. READ MORE

  3. 2. Optimization and automatization of end-bearing pile groups

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Gabriel Antonio Del Pozo Alarcon; [2021]
    Keywords : Optimization; automatization; pile groups; Optimering; automatisering; pålgrupper;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of the development, trial an application of a computational tool that by the use of the Genetic Algorithm optimization method provides the user with an alternative approach from the traditional trial and error when faced with the challenge of designing end bearing pile groups.The work presents the three main concepts needed for understanding the computational tool as well as the structure of it.

  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. Automatingand optimizing pile group design using a Genetic Algorithm

    University essay from KTH/Optimeringslära och systemteori

    Author : Arian Abedin; Wolmir Ligai; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In bridge design, a set of piles is referred to as a pile group. The design process of pile groups employed by many firms is currently manual, time consuming, and produces pile groups that are not robust against placement errors. READ MORE

  6. 5. Optimization of Pile Groups : A practical study using Genetic Algorithm and Direct Search with four different objective functions

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Ann Bengtlars; Erik Väljamets; [2014]
    Keywords : Pile Group Optimization; objective function; Genetic Algorithm; Direct Search; Pattern Search; Pålgruppsoptimering; målfunktioner; Genetic Algorithm; Direct Search; Pattern Search;

    Abstract : Piling is expensive but often necessary when building large structures, for example bridges. Some pile types, such as steel core piles, are very costly and it is therefore of great interest to keep the number piles in a pile group to a minimum. READ MORE
