  1. 1. Soil Improvement method by Mass Stabilization : Settlement analysis in stabilized sulfide soil

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

    Author : Albin Åkerlund; [2023]
    Keywords : Mass stabilization; Sulfide soil; settlement.;

    Abstract : Mass stabilization is not a common soil improvement method in Sweden, and even less so in sulfide soils. Previous research indicates that a linear elastic material model is suitable for settlements in stabilized sulfide soil. A construction project in the northern part of Sweden applied mass stabilization in sulfide soil. READ MORE

  3. 2. Geomechanical testing of non-hardening grout : for determination of flowability and strength properties

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geoteknologi

    Author : Axel Barrdahl; [2022]
    Keywords : Non-hardening; Grout; Embankment dam; Repair; Fall cone; Uniaxial Compressive Strength; UCS; Triaxial;

    Abstract : Due to an increasing amount of aging tendencies in Swedish embankment dams, failures such as internal erosion has become a more common problem. Internal erosion is a phenomenon where certain soil material within the embankment dam is removed, often over a longer period of time. READ MORE

  4. 3. Modelling of a compensated foundation in GeoSuite Settlement

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Linnea Hermansson; Rebecka Söderberg; [2020]
    Keywords : Compensated foundations; Load compensation; Lightweight material; Clay; Settlements; Creep; GeoSuite Settlement; Kompensationsgrundläggning; Lastkompensation; Lättfyllning; Lera; Sättningar; Krypning; GeoSuite Sättning;

    Abstract : The world today is constantly growing, creating a need of new roads and residential areas. New constructions lead to an increased load onto the soil, which can result in deformations when the soil layers underneath are compressed. To reduce the increased load on the soil, a compensated foundation can be used. READ MORE

  5. 4. Dynamic Design of Bridges on High-Speed Railway Lines

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

    Author : Felicia Nilsson; Filippa Dahl; [2019]
    Keywords : High-speed railway bridges; bridge-train resonance; structural dynamics; modal dynamics; time stepping; soil-structure interaction; finite element method; BRIGADE Plus; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In recent years, high-speed railway has been on the upswing in the public debate, as Swedish authorities have affirmed the plans of a high-speed corridor connecting Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malm¨o. The track speed limit is not fully determined, but will be in the range of 250-320 km/h. READ MORE

  6. 5. Evaluation of SCPT-surveys as method for accessing dynamic modulus

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

    Author : Joakim Granskär; [2018]
    Keywords : SCPT; Dynamic modulus; Seismic surveys;

    Abstract : The purpose of this master thesis is to evaluate the results from the completed SCPT (Seismic Cone Penetration Test) surveys with respect to the methods ability to estimate dynamic young´s modulus. This has been done by comparing the result from SCPT to other seismic methods and dynamic parameters converted from “static” geotechnical surveys. READ MORE
