1. Thaw Mechanism in Subgrades
Sammanfattning : Freezing-thawing, changes the properties of soil due to the phase change of the water in the soil body. Freezing-thawing cycles in the soil have been studied for several decades including extensive laboratory research. In this study, the main focus is thawing based on laboratory investigation. LÄS MER
2. Ground freeze-thaw, snow and roads in northern Sweden
Sammanfattning : In this thesis freeze-thaw along roads in northern Sweden is examined. The examinations are put in a context of changing climate and its amplification towards the Arctic region on earth. The research focuses on the impact of a warmer climate on ground freeze-thaw and in exten- sion road maintenance in the region. LÄS MER
3. Multiphase models for freeze-thaw actions and mass transport in concrete hydraulic structures
Sammanfattning : A crucial task for civil engineers is to make appropriate designs of new concrete structures and assessments of existing structures to ensure a long service life and sustainable use of the infrastructure. This doctoral thesis aims to increase the understanding of how advanced mathematical models can be used to describe phenomena and processes governing concrete degradation and thereby ultimately contribute to improving tools for design and assessments.

Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
5. Compaction and thaw deformation of frozen soil : permeability and structural effects due to freezing and thawing
Sammanfattning : This thesis is the result of the two projects:"Deformations in winter compacted soils" and "Permeability changes in a fine-grained till due to freeze/thaw". The aim of the first project was to study whether it is possible to compact frozen soils, in road embankments etc. LÄS MER
