The influences of the contact between the pile cap and the soil on the capacity and the load-settlement behaviour of a piled footing are considerable but this has not been well understood. LÄS MER

To move towards an individualized management of frailty, a better understanding of its biological underpinnings and an early identification of frail older adults are necessary. LÄS MER
3. Thermal modelling and evaluation of borehole heat transfer
Sammanfattning : The use of ground source heat pump systems to provide heating and cooling inbuildings has increased greatly in the last decade or so. These systems have a highpotential for energy efficiency, which has environmental and economicadvantages. LÄS MER
