Ground Vibrations due to Vibratory Sheet Pile Driving (Civil Project)
Vibratory driving is today the most common installation method of sheet piles. The knowledge of the induced ground vibrations is however still deficient. This makes predictions of the vibration magnitudes difficult to Continue reading
Phosphorus Removal from Domestic Wastewater Using Dual Reactive Materials Polonite® and Absol® (Civil Project)
Private wastewater treatment facilities release tons of phosphorus to the aquatic environment due to the insufficient removal efficiency in conventional Continue reading
Model Testing of Geogrids in Unpaved Roads (Civil Project)
Simple unpaved roads consist of a layer of coarse granular material placed directly onto the surface of weak or Continue reading
Lucidpipe™ Power System (Civil Project)
In most gravity fed water transmission pipelines, it is desired to reduce excess pressure head to prevent undue strain on a pipeline and lower the incidence of leaks. Normally this is done with pressure reducing valves that essentially burn off this Continue reading
Supplemental Irrigation of Cereals in Semi-arid Areas in Ethiopia (Civil Project)
With a growing world population, estimated to 9.6 billion in 2050, the world food demand is estimated to increase with 45-50 %. One way to meet the demand is to increase the areal yield from the Continue reading
IAS Water project in Sudan (Civil Project)
This study is made to investigate how the water project of International Aid Services (IAS) is working. First I wanted to get a good image of the different areas connected to the IAS water project such as community mobilization, drilling and Continue reading
Using Metering Signals at Roundabouts with Unbalanced Flows to Improve the Traffic Condition (Civil Project)
In some roundabouts, just relying on the “right of way” regulations results in long queues forming along the approaches. This usually happens when a roundabout suffers from Continue reading
Faunapassager: How animals cross roads (Civil Project)
A fauna passage is a way for animals to cross roads separated from the traffic. In Sweden, there are an unknown number of passages with different functions and appearances. These passages would, with the question “Which fauna passages can be Continue reading
Investigation of Steel-stringer Bridges: Superstructures and Substructures, Volume I (Civil Project)
ABSTRACT:
There are hundreds of structurally deficient or functionally obsolete bridges in the state of Iowa. With the majority of these bridges located on rural county roads where there is limited funding available to replace the bridges, diagnostic load testing can Continue reading
Human-Induced Lateral Excitation of Public Assembly Structures (Civil Project)
ABSTRACT
Excessive human-induced vibrations of assembly structures have been reported more frequently over the past two decades. In the automotive industry, the evaluation of the response of the human body to vibration is an important and active Continue reading
Hydrophobic Sand to Combat Water Scarcity Properties and Possible Chemical Risk (Civil Project)
The city of Dubai, which lies in the Middle East is, as many other cities in the area, suffering from shortage of fresh water resources. This issue is handled by desalination of sea water, which is a rather Continue reading
