  1. 1. Vattenbalansberäkningar som metod för bevattningsplanering : Efterhandsvalidering i svenska bevattningsförsök med olika bevattningsstrategier i vall

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Carl Andås; [2023]
    Keywords : bevattning; Penman-Monteith; markvattenhaltsmätningar; evapotranspiration;

    Abstract : Bevattning för med sig många effekter som vore önskvärda i dagens svenska lantbruk, som präglas av ökade produktionsrisk till följd av höga produktionskostnader men samtidigt ökade avräkningspriser. Efterfrågan på bevattningskompetens och effektiv bevattningsplanering för att kunna hushålla med begränsade vattenresurser kan förväntas öka i vår tid. READ MORE

  3. 2. The effect of taper on pile shaft bearing capacity : Finite element analysis of a tapered wooden pile in sulfate soil

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

    Author : Jonathan Lindström; [2023]
    Keywords : Pile; taper; timber piles; wooden piles; sulphide soil; sulfate soil; tapered piles;

    Abstract : he usage of piles, especially wooden piles, have been going on for thousands of years in construction and foundation reinforcements. Sometimes this was done temporary like the Romans who used wooden piles to construct bridges in Britain, or more permanently like the piles upon which the floating city of Venice stands. READ MORE

  4. 3. Soil Improvement method by Mass Stabilization : Settlement analysis in stabilized sulfide soil

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

    Author : Albin Åkerlund; [2023]
    Keywords : Mass stabilization; Sulfide soil; settlement.;

    Abstract : Mass stabilization is not a common soil improvement method in Sweden, and even less so in sulfide soils. Previous research indicates that a linear elastic material model is suitable for settlements in stabilized sulfide soil. A construction project in the northern part of Sweden applied mass stabilization in sulfide soil. READ MORE

  5. 4. Probabilistic settlement analysis for embankments using preloading without surcharge

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Karl Escher; [2022]
    Keywords : Bayesian statistics; uncertainty; geotechnical risk evaluation; preloading; consolidation; embankments; ground improvement; dependence modelling.;

    Abstract : Preloading without a surcharge is a common method for ground improvement. Thereare however uncertainties related to the number of site investigations and the partialfactor method has been identified as a problem. READ MORE

  6. 5. Modelling of a compensated foundation in GeoSuite Settlement

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Linnea Hermansson; Rebecka Söderberg; [2020]
    Keywords : Compensated foundations; Load compensation; Lightweight material; Clay; Settlements; Creep; GeoSuite Settlement; Kompensationsgrundläggning; Lastkompensation; Lättfyllning; Lera; Sättningar; Krypning; GeoSuite Sättning;

    Abstract : The world today is constantly growing, creating a need of new roads and residential areas. New constructions lead to an increased load onto the soil, which can result in deformations when the soil layers underneath are compressed. To reduce the increased load on the soil, a compensated foundation can be used. READ MORE
