  1. 11. Deriving Geothermal Reservoir Properties from Tomographic Models

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Samantha Kim; [2019]
    Keywords : Geothermal reservoir; super-critical fluids; optimization; seismic tomography; effective medium model; Iceland; Geotermisk energi; seismisk; mediummodel; reservoir; spricktäthet; superkritisk vätska optimisering;

    Abstract : The effectiveness of the heat transfer in a geothermal reservoir strongly depends on its temperature, pressure and rock type. A porous and fractured rock is essential to provide a hot fluid circulation to a geothermal power plant. READ MORE

  4. 13. An alarm system for pore pressure measurements in the foundation ofconcrete dams : a case study of Storfinnforsen buttress dam

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Daniel Falcão de Queiroz; [2018]
    Keywords : Buttress dams; dam foundation; pore pressure; alarm system; alarm limits; sliding in the rock mass; uplift pressure; piezometers.; Lamelldammar; dammgrundläggning; portryck; alarm system; alarmgränser; glidning i bergmassan; upptryck; portrycksmätare;

    Abstract : Concrete buttress dams are relatively light structures and less demandingon foundations; because of that, they may have problems with upliftforces and horizontal joints in the area of the dam´s foundation maypresent a failure mode through sliding. The Storfinnforsen dam, thelargest concrete dam in Sweden, had its foundation studied recently andthe discovery of sub-horizontal joints in the bedrock led to the necessityof having the safety of the dam foundation to sliding assessed.

  5. 14. Modeling of pore pressure in a railway embankment

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

    Author : Marcus Vestman; [2018]
    Keywords : PLAXIS; Pore pressure; Railway;

    Abstract : LKAB and Trafikverket want to increase the maximum allowed axial load from 30 tons to 32,5 tons for the northern part of Malmbanan. There are ongoing investigations of the condition of the railway with the current axial load of 30 tons. The investigations do not include one of Trafikverket's concerns about the condition of the railway. READ MORE

  6. 15. Internal Erosion and Dam Stability : Analysis of the internal erosion effects on stability of an embankment dam

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geoteknologi

    Author : Arthur Jedenius; [2018]
    Keywords : Internal erosion stability finite element analysis method plaxis slope seep;

    Abstract : Embankment dams encounter several problems in terms of dam safety. One of those problems is called internal erosion. This phenomenon is induced by the movement of fine particles within the dam due to seepage forces. If the dam is not able to self-heal, the eroded zones will increase which will eventually cause the dam to fail. READ MORE
