Static Pile-soil-pile Interaction in Offshore Pile Groups (Civil Project)
This thesis is a theoretical study, using both finite element and boundary element methods, of the behaviour of single-piles and pile groups under vertical and lateral loading. It offers an improved understanding of the Continue reading
Surveying, modelling and visualisation of geological structures in the Tunbergettunnel (Civil Project)
The 3-d visualisation of a section of the Tunberget tunnel and important fracture zones was accomplished by combination of the topographic surface, measurements at the surface of fracture planes together with surfaces of dolerite dykes, results from magnetic modeling of Continue reading
Aqueous Phase Geochemical Characterization and Delineation of Low Arsenic Aquifers (Civil Project)
The fact that the former highstand whitish sediments of Plio-Pleistocene and lowstand off-white/red sediments of Late Pleistocene containing low As concentrations in the Bengal basin forms the Continue reading
Analogy Between Equilibrium of Structures and Compatibility of Mechanisms (Civil Project)
ABSTRACT
Planar bar-and-joint mechanisms with one degree-of-freedom are widely used in deployable structures and machines. Such mechanisms are designed to Continue reading
Hydraulic and Hydrologic Properties of the Sabine River (Civil Project)
The Sabine River is located in Northeast Texas and is home to many threatened and endangered species as well as a growing human population. It is important to understand channel properties and flow characteristics of rivers in Continue reading
Beneficial Reuse of Baltimore Dredged Sediments as Vertical Cutoff Wall Backfill Material (Civil Project)
Dredged sediments are obtained from the process of dredging coastal areas and harbors in order to maintain navigable waterways. This study focuses on the potential of using Continue reading
Parametric Study of Bridge Response to High Speed Trains, Ballasted Track on Concrete Bridges (Civil Project)
When a train enters a bridge, passenger sitting inside will feel a sudden bump in the track, which not only affect the riding comfort of the passengers but also put a dynamic impact on the Continue reading
Embedded Strain Sensor with Power Scavenging from Bridge Vibration (Civil Project)
The objective of this study is to investigate an embedded strain sensor system with power scavenged from highway bridge vibration for structure health monitoring. A power scavenging scheme is developed to Continue reading
A Model Study of the End Bearing Capacity of Piles in Layered Calcareous Soils (Civil Project)
The results of a series of over 120 model tests to study the end bearing capacity of piles in layered calcareous soils are Continue reading
Developing an Employer Index within the Real Estate Industry (Civil Project)
Employer brand establishes a firms’ identity as an employer. It distinguishes one firm from others, creating an identity that gives a competitive advantage in the search for Continue reading
Learning from Slum Upgrading and Participation (Civil Project)
This document compiles a highly discussed issue present in many cities of the developing world today; it brings forward the importance of facing the challenges that slums create to Continue reading
