  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. Finite Element Modeling of Installation Effects of Soil-Cement Columns

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

    Author : Anne Holtmeier; [2022]
    Keywords : Deep Mixing; Soil Stabilization; Installation; Finite Element Method; PLAXIS;

    Abstract : Since the 1970's deep mixing columns have been widely used all over the world to improve the performance of soft soil in regard to bearing capacity or deformation behaviour. They are installed by mixing a binding agent, e.g. cement, in situ with the soil. READ MORE

  5. 4. Buckling of Short End-Bearing Piles in Clay

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : David Ebenhardt; Jonas Stener; [2022]
    Keywords : Short piles; buckling; elastic buckling length; initial deflection; finite element method; Eurocode 3;

    Abstract : Structural design of piles with respect to buckling in Sweden is commonlymade in accordance with the calculation model from the Commission ofPile Research, PKR. A prerequisite for this model is that the elasticbuckling length of the pile is shorter than the physical length. READ MORE

  6. 5. 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
