  1. 1. Investigation of Suffusion in Glacial Till Dam Cores : Testing methods and critical hydraulic gradients

    Författare :Ingrid Silva; Jan Laue; Peter Viklander; Thomas Pabst; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; internal erosion; suffusion; glacial till; dam cores; dams; experimental investigation; hydraulic gradient; testing methods; cohesionless soils; granular soils; Geoteknik; Soil Mechanics;

    Sammanfattning : Suffusion is an internal erosion mechanism that occurs in embankment dams when fine grained particles in the dam core are washed out by seepage. Initiation of internal erosion depends mainly on three major factors: grain size distribution of the soil, stress conditions and hydraulic gradient; whilst its continuation depends on the properties of the filter.

  2. 2. Development and Investigation of Reactivity Measurement Methods in Subcritical Cores

    Författare :Johanna Wright; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; source modulation method; point kinetics; core loading; reactivity measurement; Feynman-alpha formulae; Accelerator Driven Systems ADS ; subcritical cores;

    Sammanfattning : Subcriticality measurements during core loading and in future accelerator driven systems have a clear safety relevance. In this thesis two subcriticality methods are treated: the Feynman-alpha and the source modulation method. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Suffusion of Glacial Till Dam Cores : An Experimental Investigation

    Författare :Ingrid Silva; Jan Laue; Peter Viklander; Cristina Jommi; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Geoteknik; Soil Mechanics;

    Sammanfattning : Suffusion, also called internal instability, is an internal erosion mechanism that occurs in embankment dams when fine-grained particles are washed out of the core soil matrix by seepage. Initiation of internal erosion depends mainly on three major factors: grain size distribution of the soil, stress conditions and hydraulic load; whilst its continuation depends of the filter properties.

  4. 4. Extreme solar particle storms and links to solar activity inferred from cosmogenic radionuclides in ice cores

    Författare :Chiara Paleari; MERGE: ModElling the Regional and Global Earth system; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ice cores; cosmogenic radionuclides; Solar storms; 10Be; 36Cl; Solar energetic particles;

    Sammanfattning : During solar storms, large amounts of solar energetic particles (SEP) are accelerated into the interplanetary medium and sometimes hit Earth. These events, known as SEP events, can have harmful impacts on our modern society by affecting spacecrafts and potentially astronauts in space. LÄS MER
