1. 1. Preconsolidation Pressure of Soft, High-plastic Clays

   Författare :Göran Sällfors; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Sammanfattning : In the early days only the ground that was best from a geotechnical point of view was used for foundations, but now, owing to the growth of cities and to the rising prices of land, softer and more compressible soils, less suitable for foundations, are also often used.The choice of foundation method is both economically and techni­cally an important matter, and thorough testing of the soil is often needed to determine its geotechnical properties, and thus, to furnish necessary information.

3. 2. Undrained shear strength in clay slopes - Influence of stress conditions. A model and field test study

   Författare :Hjördis Löfroth; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; preconsolidation pressure; piezocone test; slope; model test; consolidation; horizontal stress; clay; undrained shear strength; direct simple shear test; field vane test; field test;

   Sammanfattning : To counteract natural hazards such as landslides, current methods for evaluation of soil properties as a mean for determining the safety level of natural slopes need to be refined. The empirical relationships used for estimation of the undrained shear strength from piezocone and field vane test are based on the stress conditions valid for horizontal ground and normally consolidated or slightly overconsolidated soil.

4. 3. On the impact of temperature perturbations on the creep of sensitive clay

   Författare :Yanling Li; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; thermal cycles; sensitive clays; oedometer tests; temperature; natural bonding; apparent preconsolidation pressure; multi-physics modelling; geothermal; static thermal loading;

   Sammanfattning : Temperature affects the soil response, but is not fully understood and quantified and thus often ignored. The temperature fluctuations resulting from energy foundations and construction activities, such as excavations and soil stabilization, however, may lead to changes in the hydromechanical response of the clay.

5. 4. Hydrogeological Methods in Geotechnical Engineering: Applied to settlements caused by underground construction

   Författare :Jenny Persson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; excavation; tunnel; hydrogeology; consolidation; pumping test; Groundwater; inflow rate; settlement; transmissivity; pore pressure; clay;

   Sammanfattning : Improvement in the infrastructure in urban areas generally involves underground construction with tunneling and deep excavations. One important consideration when constructing in cities founded on soft soil is settlement resulting from groundwater drawdown. The potential cost of excessive settlement in these projects is immense. LÄS MER

7. 5. Kompressionsegenskaper hos sulfidjordar : En fält- och laboratoriestudie av provbankar

   Författare :Mattias Andersson; Lars Eriksson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Soil Mechanics; Geoteknik;

   Sammanfattning : In this licentiate thesis is presented the work and the results of the construction of two testembankments on sulphide soils at the test field in Lampen outside the city of Kalix next to thenew rail road Haparandabanan.The main purpose of the licentiate thesis work was to improve the knowledge of compressionproperties of sulphide soils, with focus on the creep properties.
