2. Large-scale testing of granular material
Abstract : The main problem to investigate in this study is if larger grained materials, up to 200 mm nominal size, could be used as an embankment material for high-speed railways. High-speed railways have very strict settlement requirements, allowing only very small settlements to ensure safety. READ MORE

3. Laboratory Investigations of Frost Action Mechanisms in Soils
Abstract : Phase change of the water in the soil skeleton under cold climate conditions (also known as frost action in soils) affects soil properties and can be responsible for serious alterations in a soil body; causing damages (due to the volumetric expansion known as frost heave) to structures on or below the ground surface such as foundations, roads, railways, retaining walls and pipelines, etc. In order to improve the current design methods for roads against frost action, the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) has initiated a research program.
