Low Temperature Performance of Wax Modified Mastic Asphalt (Civil Project)
The current interest in energy saving asphalt production techniques is great and several new processes have been developed to reduce the Continue reading
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
Potential Use of Natural Red Mud as Pozzolan for Portland Cement (Civil Project)
Red mud, the main waste generated in aluminum and alumina production by the Bayer process, is considered hazardous due to its high pH, according to the Continue reading
Development of Materials Supply System Requirements (Mechanical Project)
In industry today, the need for excellent product development and realization in many different aspects is increasing. This calls for excellent quality, while at the Continue reading
Difficulties in Fe-modelling of an I-beam Subjected to Torsion, Shear and Bending (Civil Project)
In this thesis six different models of IPE240 have been created in order to study their behavior under shear, bending and torsion. These models simulate IPE240 but differ in the boundary conditions, in the loading and the length of the Continue reading
Dewatering Soil for Use as an Emergency Construction Material for Disaster Recovery (Civil Project)
The objective of this report was to investigate means to rapidly dewater fine grained soils for immediate re-use as an emergency construction material. Dewatering using polymers was the Continue reading
Worldwide Applications of Geosynthetics Reinforced Walls for Soil Reinforcement (Civl Project)
Geosynthetics have become well established construction materials for geotechnical applications in most parts of the world. Because they constitute manufactured materials, new products and applications are developed on Continue reading
Vertical Displacements in a Medium-rise Timber Building (Civil Project)
The history of timber buildings in Sweden entered a new era when the authorities decided to lift the ban on constructing more than two-storey timber buildings in Sweden. This change in legislation has contributed to the emergence of Continue reading
Design of an Earthquake Proof One Family House: A house in alternative Construction Material, made for slum areas in Medellin, Colombia (Civil/Mechanical Project)
One of mankind’s most important needs is the need for shelter. All around the world people live in lack of this basic need. Colombia is a South American country heavily burdened by Continue reading
Assessment of Design Procedures for Structural Glass Beams (Civil Project)
In structural design, ductile materials are usually preferred, because failure is rarely sudden and catastrophic. Once the material has yielded, large observable strains will occur Continue reading
Aspects of Structural Design With Glass (Civil Project)
Glass is being increasingly used as a structural material. In particular, its favorable aesthetic qualities have made it popular with Continue reading
