16. Pore water pressure and settlements generated from water driven DTH-drilling : - A field study
University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanikAbstract : Foundation work can cause damage to adjacent buildings and infrastructure. Drilling is performed in sensitive areas in urban projects and where the ground conditions are difficult. It is important to be aware of the installation effects from drilling. READ MORE

17. Consolidation of Soft Sediments Using Artificial Ground Freezing
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/GeoteknologiAbstract : Freeze-thaw cycling is investigated as a possible method for consolidation of fine grained soils. The method relies mainly on phenomena of thaw consolidation. While the soil is subjected to multiple freeze-thaw cycles the water is pressed out of the material as the excess pore pressure dissipates. READ MORE

18. Effect of Environmental Factors on Pore Water Pressure in River Bank Sediments, Sollefteå, Sweden
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Pore water pressure in a silt slope in Sollefteå, Sweden, was measured from 2009-2016. The results from2009-2012 were presented and evaluated in a publication by Westerberg et al. (2014) and this report is an extension of that project.In a silt slope the pore water pressures are generally negative, contributing to the stability of theslope. READ MORE

19. Membrane screening to identify optimal properties when separating organic matter from Bolmen water
University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)Abstract : In many places across the northern hemisphere, drinking water treatment plants (WTPs) need to avert the effects of deteriorating quality in surface water sources caused by increasing lev-els of natural organic matter (NOM). The two major factors responsible for this phenomenon, also called brownification, are the greenhouse effect and changes in soil acidification. READ MORE

20. The Effects of Different Earth Pressure Coefficient at Rest in Triaxial Shear Tests on Clay
University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanikAbstract : Triaxial shear test is the most accurate test for deciding the undrained shear strength of clay. In every test the ratio between the horizontal and vertical stresses, the coefficient of earth pressure at rest (K0′), has to be decided. READ MORE
