  1. 1. The influence of soil modeling on the prediction of vehicle dynamics and mobility – A comparison between the Finite Element Method and a Semi[1]Empirical Model

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Jimmy Kjellqvist; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This master's thesis investigated the influence of soil modeling on vehicle dynamics and mobility predictions with a focus on two different soil models implemented in Project Chrono: the Bekker-Wong model, and a Finite Element (FE) model. The primary objective is to provide insights for decision-making regarding the most suitable soil model under specific circumstances. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. 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. Jet Grout Bottom Plug in Deep Excavations : Numerical Analysis of a Tunnel Project

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Ida Schjelderup; [2022]
    Keywords : Jet grouting; jet grout bottom plug; cut-and-cover tunnel; tunnel design;

    Abstract : This master thesis has investigated the performance of a deep excavation with a jet grout bottom plug used to prevent bottom heave and hydraulic uplift failure. The concept of a jet grout plug as a structural and sealing component in a specific case was studied, namely one of the tunnel sections of The West Link tunnel project in Gothenburg. READ MORE

  6. 5. Timber pile-supported road embankment : Numerical and analytical analysis of field monitoring project E4 Råneå

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geoteknologi

    Author : Kent Nystedt; [2022]
    Keywords : Geosynthetic reinforcement; Geosynthetic reinforced pile supported embankment; Pile distance; Embankment height; Finite element method; Pile efficacy;

    Abstract : The previous E4 Råneå road embankment was prone to flooding. Risk of flooding in combination with settlements of the road due to the weak underlying sulphide soil was problematic. The Swedish Transportation Administration improved the length section E4 Råneå by rebuilding the road using the method light embankment piling. READ MORE
