  1. 1. Laboratory Investigation of Quarry Fines for Use in the Construction Industry

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Antonia Filippidi; [2022]
    Keywords : quarry fines; water content; optimum moisture content; maximum dry density; bearing capacity;

    Abstract : Quarry fines are by-products of the aggregate extraction and productionprocesses. Because such fine material cannot be marketed, it becomes aburden for the aggregate industry, resulting in stockpiles of financiallyunexploited material. READ MORE

  3. 2. Discrete Element Modelling of the Unbound Layer for Slab Tracks on High Embankment

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Karima Ghyate Forsberg; Rogin Ramak; [2016]
    Keywords : Slab track; unbound layer; discrete element modelling; deformation; embankment height; friction;

    Abstract : According to Swedish guidelines for high speed railways on embankment, the total settlement is limited to 20 mm over a track length of 10 m during the construction service life. The main objective of this thesis was to investigate the deformation in the subgrade (unbound layer) in a slab track, since there are very few studies related to high speed railways on high earth structure, discussing particularly the unbound layer.

  4. 3. "Where the Trails All Cross" : Chronotopes, Cyclic Time and Recycled Mythology in Pauline Melville's The Ventriloquist's Tale

    University essay from Engelska institutionen

    Author : Mikael Lopez; [2013]
    Keywords : Amerindians; myth; chronotope; cyclic time;

    Abstract : Pauline Melville’s The Ventriloquist’s Tale is an intricately layered novel in which the myths and folktales of the Amerindians of Guyana, as they are represented in Melville’s novel, are engaged in a dialogue with their reality. This narrative/mythical dialogue results in enactments and re-enactments of the myths and folktales, not only retelling them, but also recycling them, resulting in the Amerindians interpreting their myths and folktales nonmetaphorically.

  5. 4. The possibility of utilizing the normal incidence reflection coefficient of acoustic waves to characterize and study porous granular layers

    University essay from KTH/Väg- och banteknik

    Author : Hailegiorgis Dinagdae Yared; [2011]
    Keywords : non-destructive testing; reflection coefficient; acoustic wave; porous granular;

    Abstract : currently operational non-destructive testing methods for pavements have many drawbacks that need improvement. This thesis investigates the possibility of utilizing the normal incidence reflection coefficient of acoustic waves in characterizing and studying of porous granular materials. READ MORE
