1. 11. Reliability – based analysis of embankment dams

   University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Xiaochen Liu; [2019]
   Keywords : Embankment dams; reliability-based analysis; slope stability analysis; internal erosion; dam safety; fyllningsdammar; tillförlitlighetsbaserad analys; analys av släntstabilitet; inre erosion; dammsäkerhet;

   Abstract : Embankment dams are widely used as water-retaining structures through the world. Two principal structural failure modes of embankment dams are internal erosion and slope instability. The objective of this thesis is to investigate the feasibility of applying probabilistic methods in embankment dam assessment. READ MORE

3. 12. Slope Stability Evaluation from a RiskManagement Perspective : Case Study: the Slussen project in Stockholm

   University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Louise Larsson; [2018]
   Keywords : Slope stability; shear strength; uncertainties; risk management; Släntstabilitet; Skjuvhållfasthet; riskhantering; osäkerheter;

   Abstract : Site characterization and the subsequent determination of soil strengthparameters constitute a significant part of slope stability assessment.Geotechnical engineering is always governed by great uncertainties sincethe soil properties are challenging to estimate for a large soil volume.

4. 13. Modeling of pore pressure in a railway embankment

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

   Author : Marcus Vestman; [2018]
   Keywords : PLAXIS; Pore pressure; Railway;

   Abstract : LKAB and Trafikverket want to increase the maximum allowed axial load from 30 tons to 32,5 tons for the northern part of Malmbanan. There are ongoing investigations of the condition of the railway with the current axial load of 30 tons. The investigations do not include one of Trafikverket's concerns about the condition of the railway. READ MORE

5. 14. Ferroelectricity in nanocrystalline Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 thin films

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Lun Sang; [2018]
   Keywords : ferroelectricity; Hf0.5Zr0.5O2; GIXRD; XRR; Technology and Engineering; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Hafnium dioxide (HfO_2) based thin films doped with various dopants (Si, Ge, Al, Gd, Sr, Zr) have been found to exhibit ferroelectricity. These dopants were found to stabilize the III orthorhombic phase in the hafnium oxide based thin films. READ MORE

6. 15. Slope stability assessment through field monitoring

   University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Yukun Wei; [2018]
   Keywords : Slope stability; inclinometer; displacement; FEM; inverse analysis.;

   Abstract : Deterministic methods have been used in geotechnical engineering for a long period, such as slope stability calculations. However, only applying deterministic methods is subjective and imperfect. READ MORE
