  1. 1. Numerical modelling of lime-cementcolumns in the passive zone of excavations in soft clays

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Anaëlle Gilot; [2021]
    Keywords : Deep mixing; lime-cement columns; excavations; clay; finite element method; advanced constitutive model; Mélange profond; colonnes de chaux-ciment; excavations; argile; méthode des éléments finis; modèle constitutif avancé; Jordförstärkning med kalk-cement pelare; utgrävningar; lera; finita elementmetoden; avancerad konstitutiv modell;

    Abstract : Excavations in soft clays come with a number of specific challenges. The use of lime-cement columns in the passive zone of such works represents a promising solution to some of these problems, such as basal heave stability or excessive deformations. READ MORE

  3. 2. Modelling and simulation of vibratory driven sheet piles - Development of a stop criterion

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

    Author : Johannes Jonsson; Anton Andersson; [2021]
    Keywords : Vibratory driving; sheet pile; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : During excavations, steel sheet piles are often installed through vibratory driving, to establish a retaining wall that resists soil instability and ground water leakage. The method of vibratory driving is that the sheet pile is driven into the soil with a vertical vibratory motion. This is especially effective in soft soils. READ MORE

  4. 3. Jet grouting as a method for sealing sheet pile excavations in Swedish conditions : A probabilistic approach

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Mårten Brinck; Karl Stigenius; [2019]
    Keywords : Jet-grouting; probabilistic model; water; Monte-Carlo; holes;

    Abstract : Jet grouting is a groundimprovement method that creates cemented columns in the soil. The soil isinjected with different pressurized fluids, through the monitor, to replace andcement the soil, often with water cement grout. There are three different commonsystems for ejecting the fluids, the single, double and triple fluid system. READ MORE

  5. 4. Vibration caused by sheet pile driving- effect of driving equipment

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Haftom Tesfay Tsegay; [2018]
    Keywords : Ground vibration; vibratory driving; sheet pile; eccentric moment; markvibrationer; vibrerade drivning; spont; excentriska moment.;

    Abstract : In many construction works in urban areas vibratory driving is the most widely used technique toinstall sheet piles. But due to vibration-sensitive equipment and structures the amount of inducedground vibration need to be minimized. READ MORE

  6. 5. The Effect of Matric Suction on Total Stability Evaluations in Clay

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

    Author : Robin Tvrdek; [2015]
    Keywords : Finite Element Method; Matric Suction; Soil Water Retention Cruve; Total Stability Evaluation; Excavation; Clay; Factor of Safety; Unsaturated Soil; Capillary Rise; Sheet pile; Plaxis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In this master´s dissertation I investigated if it is possible to increase the total stability for excavations in clay, if suction is taken into account during the calculations. The work has been performed at, and in cooperation with, Sweco Civil AB as well as the Dept. of Construction Sciences at Faculty of Engineering LTH, Lund University. READ MORE
