  3. 7. Investigation of Influential Contexts on Mining-front Seismicity at Kiirunavaara Mine

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geoteknologi

    Author : Bernardo Filizzola; [2023]

  5. 9. Environmental and technical evaluation of cement reduction and test methods for fibre reinforced shotcrete in tunnels

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Elin Brodd; Lina Östlund; [2022]

    Abstract : The dominating support method for hard rock tunnels today is use of fibre reinforced shotcrete in combination with rock bolts. The fibre reinforced shotcrete secures smaller blocks, while rock bolts are used to support larger blocks in the rock. Application of shotcrete is done by spraying against the rock surface using compressed air. READ MORE

  6. 10. Modelling of Fluid Flow and Contaminant Transport in Fractured Rock : Case Study

    Abstract : Drinking water contamination is a big concern in Sweden and is commonly traced back to being waste from former manufacturing industrial sites. Pollutants in the topsoil can be remediated by several techniques, such as decontamination or excavation but the toxins already enclosed in the bedrock cannot be treated the same and is harder to track possible contaminant pathways.
