  2. 1. Characterisation of Fractured Rock for Grouting Using Hydrogeological Methods

    Author : Åsa Fransson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hydraulic test; specific capacity; grouting; water pressure test; geological mapping; grout take; aperture; penetration length; transmissivity;

    Abstract : Sealing of tunnels by grouting demands knowledge concerning the fractured rock and the grout, followed by an appropriate choice of strategy and equipment. In this thesis, the characterisation of rock is the main issue and, since it addresses the engineering problem of producing a description for grouting, the properties of grout and the grouting procedure need to be considered.

  4. 2. Spectral signature measurements and image processing for geological remote sensing

    Author : Kjell Wester; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

    Abstract : This work focuses on (i) spectral signatures of rocks and lichens, and on the use of satellite images for (ii) survey mapping of areas dominated by exposed bedrock, (iii) bedrock mapping and mineral prospecting.(i) Laboratory measurements demonstrate that a lichen cover can significantly mask the spectral reflectance of rocks.

  5. 3. Environmental applications of biogeochemical data from Geological Survey of Sweden

    Author : Kaj Lax; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Applied Geology; Tillämpad geologi;

    Abstract : The Geological Survey of Sweden, SGU, has carried out geochemical mapping for several decades. In 1983, two regional mapping programmes were initiated, aiming at a nation wide coverage. READ MORE

  6. 4. Geology of Lagoa das Furnas, a crater lake on São Miguel, Azores archipelago

    Author : Thommy Andersson; Otto Hermelin; Martin Jakobsson; Alasdair Skelton; Erik Sturkell; Richard Gyllencreutz; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lagoa das Furnas; Azores; crater lake; geophysical mapping; tephrochronology; volcanic dome; Marine Geology; maringeologi;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the results from a geophysical mapping and coring campaign of Lagoa das Furnas are presented. Specific focus is placed on the origin of a subaqueous volcanic cone mapped in the southern part of the lake. READ MORE

  7. 5. Geoelectrical imaging for interpretation of geological conditions affecting quarry operations

    Author : Mimmi K. Magnusson; Joanne Fernlund; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrical resistivity imaging; Rock-mass quality; Aggregate production; Geophysical methods; Induced polarization; Normalized induced polarization; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik;

    Abstract : Determination of the subsurface geology is very important for the rock quarry industry. This is primarily done by drilling and mapping of the surface geology. However in Sweden the bedrock is often completely covered by Quaternary sediments making the prediction of subsurface geology quite difficult. READ MORE
