2. 1. Aspects on probabilistic approach to design : From uncertainties in pre-investigation to final design

   Author : Anders Prästings; Stefan Larsson; Rasmus Müller; Jan Laue; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Reliability-based design; Geotechnical design; Geotechnical structures; Sheet-pile wall; Characterization of uncertainties; Geotechnical investigations;

   Abstract : Geotechnical engineering is strongly associated with large uncertainties. Exploring a medium (soil) that is almost entirely and completely hidden from us is no easy task. Investigations can be made only at discrete points, and the majority of a specific soil volume is never tested. READ MORE

4. 2. Solid Waste Landfills in an Arid Environment : Site Selection and Design

   Author : Ali Chabuk; Jan Laue; Nadhir Al-Ansari; Sven Knutsson; Hussain M. Hussain; Roland Pusch; Rafid Alkhaddar; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Landfill; Arid Environment; Site selection; Design; Babylon; Iraq; Soil Mechanics; Geoteknik;

   Abstract : Selecting landfill sites is considered a complicated task because its whole process is based upon several factors and restrictions. This study shows the present status of solid waste management, sources, collection personnel, machinery and equipment that are involved in the waste collection process, financing and financial management for the major cities of the Babylon Governorate in Iraq (Al-Hillah, Al-Qasim, Al-Mahawil, Al-Hashimiyah and Al-Musayiab).

5. 3. LCA and LCCA in the design of geotechnical engineering works

   Author : Ida Samuelsson; Stefan Larsson; Johan Spross; Rasmus Rempling; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Life Cycle Assessment; Life Cycle Cost Analysis; climate impact; costs; geotechnical engineering; Livscykelanalys; Livscykelkostnadsanalys; klimatpåverkan; kostnader; geoteknik; Soil and Rock Mechanics; Jord- och bergmekanik;

   Abstract : Geotechnical engineering works are part of almost all construction and infrastructure projects. The geotechnical engineering work contributes to the impact on the environment and gives rise to costs throughout its life cycle. READ MORE

6. 4. Managing uncertainties in geotechnical parameters : From the perspective of Eurocode 7

   Author : Anders Prästings; Stefan Larsson; Johan Spross; Rasmus Müller; Kok-Kwang Phoon; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Eurocode 7; Characteristic value; Partial-factor method; Reliability-based design; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

   Abstract : Geotechnical engineering is strongly associated with large uncertainties. Geotechnical site investigations are made only at discrete points and most of a soil volume is never tested. A major issue is therefore how to cost effectively reduce geotechnical uncertainties with respect to structural performance. READ MORE

7. 5. Modeling aspects of reliability-based design of lined rock caverns

   Author : Davi Rodrigues Damasceno; Fredrik Johansson; Johan Spross; Rafael Jimenez; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Lined rock cavern; reliability-based design; analytical modeling; finite element modeling; underground gas storage; Inklädda bergrum; tillförlitlighetsbaserad design; analytisk modellering; finita elementmodellering; underjordisk gaslagring; Soil and Rock Mechanics; Jord- och bergmekanik;

   Abstract : The storage of large quantities of hydrogen gas in underground lined rock caverns (LRCs) could contribute to an efficient supply of fossil-free energy. The consequences of failure of such storage can be catastrophic, so representative predictive models and a small probability of failure are needed for the LRC design. READ MORE
