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
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
Dynamic Analysis of the Baozhusi Dam Using FEM (Civil Project)
High magnitude earthquakes have devastating effects that leads to severe human and material losses; when affecting concrete gravity dams, seisms devastate the surrounding habitat through sudden release of 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
The Reasonable Ways to Reduce Heat Losses From Windows (Mechanical Project)
The window insulation always plays an important role in building design and thermal comfort, it is one of the main parts needed to be optimized in building envelop. Window insulation is a basic element which can Continue reading
Iron material for the remediation of DNAPL-polluted groundwater (Civil Project)
Tetrachloroethylene and its daughter-products represent a group of contaminations which are frequently found at sites with industrial activities, such as metal processing, electrotechnical and pharmaceutical industries as well as 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
Impacts of Using Crushed Rocks in Concrete (Civil Project)
Concrete in Sweden has traditionally been manufactured with natural aggregate from glaciofluvial eskers. There is a need to preserve the remaining eskers because of their cultural value and importance for water filtration, thus natural aggregate has to be Continue reading
Controlling Parameters for Normal and Shear Behaviour of Rock Fractures – A Study of Direct Shear Test Data from SKB (Civil Project)
The deep mining and civil engineering industry need to perform rock stability analyses during excavation projects. The stability is mainly controlled by the shear strength of the Continue reading
Characterization of the Behavior of Ultra-High Performance Concrete (Civil Project)
In the past decade significant advances have been made in the field of high performance concretes. The next generation of concrete, Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC), exhibits exceptional Continue reading
Geogrid Reinforcement of Granular Layers on Soft Clay – A Study at Model and Full Scale (Civil Project)
The mechanisms by which a geogrid acts to reinforce a granular layer over a soft clay were investigated with reference to Continue reading
