  1. 11. Optimization in Design of End-Bearing Concrete and Steel Piles with Regard to Climate Impact : Climate Conscious Material Choices in Early Project Planning

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Simat Adnan; Jann Ton; [2021]
    Keywords : Design; End-bearing piles; Bearing capacity; GWP; LCA; Climate change; Dimensionering; Spetsburna pålar; Bärförmåga; GWP; LCA; Klimatpåverkan;

    Abstract : Environmental sustainability is becoming more popular in the building industry. Sustainable thinking needs to be present during the whole construction process, from the idea phase to the final stages. READ MORE

  3. 12. 2D Modelling of Geosynthetically Reinforced Piled Embankments : Calibration Methods in PLAXIS 2D & Review of Analytical Guidelines

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Maya Sleiman; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the 2D modelling of Geosyntheticaly Reinforced Piled Embankments (GRPE) in PLAXIS 2D. In doing so, it explores two main aspects: 1) the calibration of Interface Stiffness Factors (ISFs) governing the soil-pile interaction of Embedded BeamRow (EBR) elements in PLAXIS 2D, and 2) the prospects and limitations of modelling geogrids (GR) in PLAXIS 2D when underlain by EBR elements; although several studies have validates the EBR element in modelling piles, none address the geogrid-EBR interaction and its implications on modelling GRPE systems.

  4. 13. Lateral resistance of short piles near slopes - a review of calculation methods

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för bygg- och miljöteknologi

    Author : Tomas Jönebratt; [2020]
    Keywords : Lateral load capacity; Horizontal load capacity; Piles near slopes; Approximate design methods; Soil; Geotechnical engineering; Friction soil; Wind load; Ultimate limit state; Noise screens; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Vid konstruktion av bullerskärmar så väljs vanligtvis pålning som grundläggningstyp. Det finns flera modeller som kan approximera ett krav på minsta pållängd beroende på olika typer jordförhållande och vindlast. READ MORE

  5. 14. Probabilistic Assessment of Pile Drivability in Swedish Soils

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : MAEDEH ALINEJAD KORDMAHALLEH; [2020]
    Keywords : Pile refusal; Monte Carlo method; probabilistic model; boulder.;

    Abstract : Site investigations are often performed prior to the design of pile foundations with the aim to collect data regarding soil properties including boulder content. The obtained data is typically limited due to non-homogeneous characteristic of the soil. READ MORE

  6. 15. Investigation and Development of the Design Process for a Pile Group with and without Lateral Resistance from the Soil

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för bygg- och miljöteknologi

    Author : Linda Johansson; Frida Liljefors; [2020]
    Keywords : pile group optimisation; objective function; frame analysis method; lateral resistance of the soil; pålgrupp; optimering; målfunktion; ramanalys; sidomotstånd från jord; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : For bridges in weak ground conditions, piling is an appropriate type of foundation. To manually arrange the piles in a pile group is an iterative, time consuming process where the section forces in the piles must be verified for a large number of load cases. READ MORE
