1. Rock Mechanical Consequences of Refrigeration. A Study Based on a Pilot Scale Rock Cavern
Sammanfattning : The deformation of a rock mass due to temperature decrease below freezing is very complex, since many factors are involved; thermal strain, strain due to stress change, stress re-distribution, ice formation and the temperature dependency of rock mechanical and thermo-physical properties. The objective of this study was to achieve a better understanding of the rock mass response to thermo-mechanical loading when storing low temperature products in rock caverns excavated in hard crystalline rock masses.

2. Assessment of rock mass quality and its effects on charge ability using drill monitoring technique
Sammanfattning : For an efficient mining operation, it is essential to have as much information as possible aboutthe ore to be excavated and the rock masses surrounding the ore. Geological information andthe content and distribution of extractable minerals, are central concerns for long term mineplanning. LÄS MER
3. Thermo-Mechanical Behaviour of Refrigerated Caverns in Hard Rock
Sammanfattning : For almost 4 decades, underground caverns in hard rock have been used to store liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) and refrigerated products, such as foods and chemicals. The design of such facilities has, however, been founded on relatively limited knowledge of the reaction of rock masses to cooling. LÄS MER
4. Rock mass behavior under hydropower embankment dams with focus on fracture erosion and rock mass stability
Sammanfattning : In Sweden there are about 190 large hydropower dams of varying age. According to the definition by the International Commission of Large Dams (ICOLD), if the height of the dam exceeds 15 m it is referred as large. Majority of these dams are of embankment type. LÄS MER
5. Artificial Ground Freezingin Clayey Soils : Laboratory and Field Studies of Deformations During Thawing at the Bothnia Line
Sammanfattning : Artificial ground freezing as a method to temporarily stabilize and create hydraulic sealing in urban as well as in rural areas has been used in a number of Swedish construction projects, particularly during the last decade. One problem with the freezing of soil and rock is that fine-grained clayey types of soils have showed a tendency to under certain circumstances, during the thawing process, create a pore water overpressure and to consolidate, despite a change in the external loading conditions.
