1. Moisture Influence on Structural Behaviour of Pavements : Field and Laboratory Investigations
Abstract : The structural behaviour of pavements in cold regions can considerably be affected by seasonal variation in environmental factors such as temperature and moisture content. Along with the destructive effect of heavy traffic loads, climatic and environmental factors can considerably contribute to pavement deterioration. READ MORE

2. Mixed-Grained Till in Pavement Structures; A Field and Laboratory Study
Abstract : The road network in Sweden has historically been constructed using rock fill and natural gravel. More than 75 per cent of the land surface of Sweden is covered by glacial till and greater utilization of site-won material will not only reduce transportation costs but will also promote better sustainability of natural assets.

3. Modeling of frost heave and surface temperatures in roads
Abstract : Temperature and moisture are very essential parameters when describing the condition of a pavement. In most cases, a high moisture content involves a decreased bearing capacity and, consequently, a shorter durability of the pavement. A frozen pavement has a greater bearing capacity than the corresponding construction in spring or late autumn. READ MORE

4. Rockfill Pavements on Soft Subsoil - Construction and Compaction
Abstract : Analytical or mechanistic design models are today available, which all require predictable material properties of the materials involved. However, the efficiency of compaction of pavements on soft subsoil is often questioned, since such pavements mostly show lower pavement quality and poorer performance, it seems like the full potential of the fill material not is utilised.

5. Multi-year maintenance optimisation for paved public roads - segment based modelling and price-directive decomposition
Abstract : I avhandlingen studeras hur kostnadseffektiva underhålls- (uh-)planer för belagd väg kan genereras, på basis av information om aktuellt vägytetillstånd och funktionella modeller för kostnads- och tillståndsförändringar, delvis utvecklade i samarbete med svenska Vägverket (VV). Tilltänkt användning är på strategisk och programnivå, innan mer detaljerad objektinformation finns att tillgå. READ MORE
