  1. 6. 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

  3. 7. ENVIRONMENTAL RADIOLOGICAL STUDIES OF KVARNTORPSHÖGEN Dose and Radiological Risk Assessments for Humans and Biota

    University essay from

    Author : Felicia Hultqvist; [2021-04-06]
    Keywords : Medical physics; NORM; TENORM; Shale ash; Uranium; Polonium; Radiological risk; Humans; Biota;

    Abstract : Background: The pile Kvarntorpshögen and the lakes Surpölen and Norrtorpssjön are the remains of an industry which mined and processed oil shales to extract oil during World War II. The pile mainly consists of shale ash, a waste from the production, while the lakes are nowadays water-filled mining pits. READ MORE

  4. 8. 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

  5. 9. 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

  6. 10. Pile subjected to lateral load : Analytical hand calculation implemented by programming

    University essay from KTH/Byggteknik och design

    Author : Anders Nordlöf; Danny Holmboe; [2021]
    Keywords : Commission on Pile Research; report 101; pile foundation; transversely loaded piles; interaction pile soil; Mathcad; hand calculation method; Pålkommissionen; rapport 101; pålgrundläggning; transversalbelastade pålar; interaktion påle-jord; Mathcad; handberäkningsmetod;

    Abstract : The official recommendations in geotechnical engineering are according to Swedish practice to install inclined driven piles in order to resist external horizontal loads, which usually consist of windloads. These loads gets counteracted by utilizing the pile's axial load-bearing capacity, however when designing a foundation the use of inclined piles has proven to be problematic from a number of different perspectives.
