1. Soil Modification By Adding Small Amounts of Soil Stabilizers : Impact of Portland Cement and the Industrial By-Product Petrit T
Abstract : This licentiate thesis presents results of laboratory experiments regarding the effectiveness of adding small amounts of binders in order to modify and improve the mechanical performance of low organic clayey silt soil. Two types of binders have been used i.e. cement and an industrial by-product named Petrit T. READ MORE

2. On a mathematical basis for constitutive drivers in soil plasticity
Abstract : Huvudsyftet med denna avhandling har varit att vidareutveckla en matematisk grund för konstitutiva drivenheter inom området plasticitetsteori för jord. Med en konstitutiv drivenhet avses här en datorrutin som innehåller ett antal utvalda konstitutiva modeller jämte integrationsmetoder och med vilken olika laboratorieförsök och fältförsök kan simuleras numeriskt och modellparametrar bestämmas genom optimering.

3. Behaviour of Piles with Enlarged Tip in Non-Cohesive Soil. Model Tests and Numerical Simulations
Abstract : Slender piles reduce detrimental vibrations during installation. In order to preserve a high bearing capacity, the pile tip can be enlarged after installation. This study consists of model tests of conventional piles (unexpanded piles) and piles with enlarged tip (expanded piles). READ MORE

4. Numerical modelling of geomaterials at failure
Abstract : Geotechnical engineering is the science dealing with mechanics of soils and rocks and its engineering applications. Geotechnical engineering projects vary in a wide range, from evaluation of the stability of natural slopes and man-made soil deposits, to the design of earthworks and foundations. READ MORE

5. Soil Modification by adding small amounts of binders : A laboratory study
Abstract : Soil stabilization through addition of a hydraulic binder is a method frequently used to modify and improve engineering properties of soft soils. Additives like cement and lime are typically used as stabilizers. More recently, industrial by-products, such as fly ashes, cement kiln dust, blast furnace slags and other slags have been used.
