  4. 22. Classification of different types of snow using spectral and angular imaging

    Author : Lavan Kumar Eppanapelli; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Experimental Mechanics; Experimentell mekanik;

    Abstract : The current thesis work details a non-contact detection approach concerningclassification of snow with different physical properties such as grain size, densityand specific surface area (SSA). In this approach, reflected light from snowsurfaces is measured as a function of wavelength and viewing geometry. READ MORE

  7. 25. Flexible culverts in sloping terrain : Research advances and application

    Author : Amer Wadi; Raid Karoumi; Lars Pettersson; Jan Vaslestad; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Flexible culvert; Soil‒steel composite bridge; Sloping terrain; Swedish design method; Finite element model; Slope stability; Avalanche load; Snowshed; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

    Abstract : Although the construction of flexible culverts involves simplicity in comparison to similar concrete structures, the complexity of the beneficial interaction between soil and steel materials requires good understanding for their composite action and performance. Current design methods have certain validity limitations with regard to applicable slopes above the structures. READ MORE
