  2. 1. Three-component digital-based seismic landstreamer : Methodologies for infrastructure planning applications

    Author : Bojan Brodic; Alireza Malehmir; Christopher Juhlin; André Pugin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; landstreamer; multicomponent seismic; shear-waves; surface-waves; Geophysics with specialization in Solid Earth Physics; Geofysik med inriktning mot fasta jordens fysik;

    Abstract : To support urban infrastructure planning projects, along with various other near-surface applications, a multicomponent landstreamer was developed. The landstreamer was built with broadband (0-800 Hz), three-component (3C) micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) sensors. READ MORE

  4. 2. Laboratory Seismic Testing of Asphalt Concrete

    Author : Anders Gudmarsson; Nils Rydén; Björn Birgisson; Hervé Di Bendetto; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Nondestructive laboratory seismic testing to characterize the complex modulus and Poisson’s ratio of asphalt concrete is presented in this thesis. These material properties are directly related to pavement quality and the dynamic Young’s modulus is used in thickness design of pavements. READ MORE

  5. 3. Analysis of Seismic Data Acquired at the Forsmark Site for Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel, Central Sweden

    Author : Fatemeh Sharifi Brojerdi; Christopher Juhlin; Alireza Malehmir; Bjarne Almqvist; Ramon Carbonell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Forsmark site; anisotropy; deformation zone; reflection seismic; shear-wave splitting; fractures and traveltime tomography;

    Abstract : The Forsmark area, the main study area in this thesis, is located about 140 km north of Stockholm, central Sweden. It belongs to the Paleoproterozoic Svecokarelian orogen and contains several major ductile and brittle deformation zones including the Forsmark, Eckarfjärden and Singö zones. READ MORE

  6. 4. Seismic high-frequency content loads on structures and components within nuclear facilities

    Author : Cecilia Rydell; Anders Ansell; Mario Plos; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Nuclear power plant; Earthquake; Seismic high frequencies; Fluid-structure interaction; Piping; Concrete; Pool;

    Abstract : Sweden is generally considered to be a low seismicity area, but for structures within nuclear power facilities, the safety level demand with respect to seismic events are high and thus, these structures are required to be earthquake-resistant. The seismic hazard is here primarily considered to be associated with near-field earthquakes. READ MORE

  7. 5. Resistivity and Surface Wave Seismic Surveys in Geotechnical Site Investigations

    Author : Roger Wisén; Teknisk geologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; teknisk geografi; Hydrogeologi; teknisk geologi; Hydrogeology; geographical and geological engineering; resistivity method; surface wave seismic method; inverse modelling; site investigation; geophysics;

    Abstract : The adaptation of geophysical methods for civil engineering purposes represents an important contribution to the development of geotechnical site investigation methodology. The term geotechnical site investigation here refers to all investigations performed prior to or during construction; i.e. READ MORE
