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
Soil-structure Interaction of End-frames for High-speed Railway Bridges (Civil Project)
In this thesis, the influence of soil-structure interaction (SSI) of end-frame bridges for high-speed railways was studied. Impedance functions, representing the SSI, was calculated and analyzed. The impedance functions were applied to 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
Soil Bioengineering for Upland Slope Stabilization (Civil Project)
The objective of the study was to provide alternatives called soil bioengineering methods for slope and shallow rapid landslide stabilization along different roadside environments. Additional objectives were to Continue reading
Field Study of Compaction Monitoring Systems:Self-propelled Non-vibratory 825g and Vibratory Smooth Drum CS-533e Rollers (Civil Project)
ABSTRACT:
A field study comprised of experimental testing and statistical analyses was conducted to evaluate the Caterpillar machine drive power (MDP) and Geodynamik compaction 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
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
Energy Efficiency of Tunnel Boring Machines (Civil Project)
Herrenknecht AG is a German world-leading Tunnel Boring Machines manufacturer showing strong awareness and concern regarding environmental issues. The company supports research on the Energy Efficiency (EE) of their Continue reading
Modelling Sediment Connectivity in Swedish Catchments and Application for Flood Prediction of Roads (Civil Project)
Climate changes are predicted to increase precipitation intensities and occurrence of extreme rainfall events in the near future. Scandinavia has been identified as one of Continue reading
Finite Element Studies of Reinforced and Unreinforced Two-layer Soil Systems (Civil Project)
The purpose of this study is to obtain an insight into the mechanisms by which a geosynthetic membrane influences the performance of Continue reading
Strategic Municipal Energy Planning – Examining Current Practice in Sweden (Civil Project)
The Swedish Act on Municipal Energy Planning was written in 1977 in a time of energy crisis and requires each municipality to have a plan for rational supply and Continue reading
