1. 21. Numerical analysis of vibrations due to impact pile driving

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

   Author : Sebastian Andersson Olivecrona; Rasmus Sulander; [2016]
   Keywords : Finite element method; Concrete pile; Impact pile driving; Ground vibrations; Soil mechanics; Soil dynamics; COMSOL Multiphysics; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Vibrations originating from constructional work can affect the nearby soil and structures. Depending on the properties of the vibrations, these can result in settlements in the soil and damages to existing structures. Along with blasting, impact pile driving is one of the greatest sources of vibrations on a construction site. READ MORE

3. 22. 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

4. 23. Analysis of an Inclined Pile in Settling Soil

   University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Fredrik Resare; [2015]
   Keywords : Batter piles; raked piles; ground settlements; induced bending moments; lutande pålar; marksättning; nita elementmetoden; påle; transversalbelastning;

   Abstract : The use of inclined piles is an efficient way to handle horizontal forces in constructions. However, if the soil settles the structural bearing capacity of each pile is reduced because of induced bending moments in the pile. There are several reasons for a soil to settle, e.g. READ MORE

5. 24. Soil Plugging of Open-Ended Piles During Impact Driving in Cohesion-less Soil

   University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Victor Karlowskis; [2014]
   Keywords : soil plugging; impact driving; driving resistance; driving records; jordpluggning; slagdrivning; drivmotstånd; pålprotokoll;

   Abstract : During impact driving of open-ended piles through cohesion-less soil the internal soil column may mobilize enough internal shaft resistance to prevent new soil from entering the pile. This phenomena, referred to as soil plugging, changes the driving characteristics of the open-ended pile to that of a closed-ended, full displacement pile. READ MORE

6. 25. Pile – Soil Interaction during Vibratory Sheet Pile Driving : a Full Scale Field Study

   University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Claire Guillement; [2013]
   Keywords : Ground vibrations; vibratory driving; sheet pile; full-scale field study; soil instrumentation; sheet pile instrumentation.;

   Abstract : Urban construction sites require strict control of their environmental impact, which, for vibratory sheet pile driving, can include damage to nearby structures due to ground vibrations. However, the lack of knowledge concerning the generation of soil vibrations makes the prediction of ground vibration levels difficult. This MSc. READ MORE
