1. 1. Evaluation of structurally controlled rockfall hazard for underground excavations in seismically active areas of the Kiirunavaara mine

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

   Author : Manuel Alberto Fuentes Espinoza; [2023]
   Keywords : Structurally controlled rockfalls; rockfalls due to seismic shaking; sublevel caving; fork layout; Unwedge; wedge analysis; deterministic analysis; probabilistic analysis;

   Abstract : Sublevel caving operations at great depths are subjected both to large stress concentrations that are redistributed as the mining front progresses and to mining-induced seismicity. This is the case for Kiirunavaara mine, Sweden’s largest underground mine. READ MORE

3. 2. Feasibility study of a high-rise CLT building in a seismic area with high wind loads : A finite element approach

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Inga Berglind Eggertsdóttir; Emelía Ósk Gunnarsdóttir; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Timber has been used as a construction material for thousands of years. However,the inventions of stronger materials and increased construction of taller buildings hasled to decreased use of wood products. READ MORE

4. 3. Assessment of static performance of LKAB´s welded mesh : Laboratory testing and analysis

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

   Author : Fredrik Eriksson; [2020]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Surface support is an areal support, which is installed on rock excavation surface to prevent bulking of rock mass and retain loose rock fragments. Welded wire mesh is one type of surface support. Literature study indicates that there is a wide range of testing methods on mesh. READ MORE

5. 4. WIND TURBINE FOUNDATIONS IN CLAY : Technical and economic considerations for proposals for wind turbine foundations

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Michail Papagiannis; [2018]
   Keywords : clay; wind turbine; bored pile; monopilem; soil stratigraphy; seismic loads; DIN; Eurocode;

   Abstract : This thesis approaches the problem of the cost-efficient wind turbine foundation on an onshore site of clayey soil characteristics. The given soil stratigraphy includes a layer of clay and two sands of different density. The characteristics of the soil and the water level that were used as input come from a site in Peloponissos, Greece. READ MORE

6. 5. Evaluation of seismic action in Sweden using the European Seismic Hazard Model

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

   Author : Erik Larsson; Lucas Magnusson; [2017]
   Keywords : SHARE; ESHM13; Modal Response Spectrum Analysis; Linear Dynamics.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : In 2013 the European Seismic Hazard Model 2013 (ESHM13) was released as a result of the EU-funded project Seismic Harmonization in Europe (SHARE). This hazard model provides seismic data applicable for structural engineering for every location in Europe and Turkey that directly correlates to the seismic regulations provided by Eurocode 8.
