  1. 1. Environmental Perspectives on Urban Material Stocks used in Construction : Granular Materials

    Författare :Simon Magnusson; Sven Knutsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Soil Mechanics; Geoteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The peoples demand of functions and services in cities is the driver for energy and material flows. Most people in the world are now living in urban areas. In order to achieve a sustainable development of cities, both resource use and environmental impact have to be reduced. LÄS MER

  3. 2. 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.

  4. 3. The influence of soil and contaminant properties on the efficiency of physical and chemical soil remediation methods

    Författare :Sofia Jonsson; Mats Tysklind; Peter Haglund; Staffan Lundstedt; Tuula Tuhkanen; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fenton’s reagent; ozone; solvent washing; granular activated carbon; GAC; Persistent organic compounds; Persistenta organiska föreningar; Cardiology; kardiologi;

    Sammanfattning :  A vast number of sites that have been contaminated by industrial activities have been identified worldwide. Many such sites now pose serious risks to humans and the environment. Given the large number of contaminated sites there is a great need for efficient, cost-effective  remediation methods. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Predicting surfacing internal erosion in moraine core dams

    Författare :Hans Rönnqvist; Anders Wörman; Hans Bergh; Kaare Høeg; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; internal erosion; internal stability; filters; moraine core; embankment dams; sinkholes; internal erosion assessment; Geoengineering and mining engineering; Geoteknik och gruvteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Dams that comprise broadly and widely graded glacial materials, such as moraines, have been found to be susceptible to internal erosion, perhaps more than dams of other soil types. Internal erosion washes out fine-grained particles from the filling material; the erosion occurs within the material itself or at an interface to another dam zone, depending on the mode of initiation.

  7. 5. Soil identification by vibration measurements during soil-rock sounding

    Författare :Editha Ehrmanntraut; Stefan Larsson; Jörgen Johansson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ground vibrations; dynamic penetration testing; frequency; seismic test; vibration velocity; in-situ tests; markvibrationer; dynamiska sonderingsmetoder; frekvens; seismiska försök; vibrationshastighet; in-situ-försök; Jord- och bergmekanik; Soil and Rock Mechanics;

    Sammanfattning : Dynamic penetration tests are frequently used as geotechnical site investigation methods. In Sweden, the main reason to choose a dynamic penetration method is to investigatedepth to bedrock, strength and deformation properties of soil, compaction, or pilingdepth. LÄS MER
