  2. 1. The soil as a source material in archaeology. : Theoretical considerations and pragmatic applications

    Author : Johan Linderholm; Roger Engelmark; Martin Bell; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Environmental archaeology; Geoarchaeology; Prehistory; Soil phosphate; Magnetic susceptibility; Soil chemistry; Site formation processes; Soil erosion; Archaeology subjects; Arkeologiämnen; Archaeology; arkeologi;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with questions on various applications using soils and sediments as sources of information in archaeological research. Human environmental impact on soils and sediments, in terms of pollution, is a well known phenomenon as the industrialisation intensified during historical times and onwards and has left strong pollutive marks.

    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; cereal cultivation; iron age; southern Scandinavia; archaeobotany; settlement archaeology; environmental archaeology; miljöarkeologi; Archaeology; arkeologi;

    Abstract : The here presented PhD project explores the phenomenon of cereal cultivation during the Iron Age (c. 500 BC – AD 1100) in southern Scandinavia. The main body of the thesis consists of four articles. READ MORE

  5. 3. Effect of Compactive Effort on the Behaviour of a Gypsiferous Subgrade Soil

    Author : Dina K Kuttah; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Gypsum; Soil; Clay; Compaction; California bearing ratio; Triaxial; Moisture content; Pore water pressure; 62 Road: Soil mechanics; 62 Road: Soil mechanics;

    Abstract : Presented in this thesis is a study of the effect of compactive effort and long-term soaking on strength, stiffness and deformation characteristics of a gypsiferous subgrade soil from Kirkuk city.The tested soil is sandy lean clay (CL) according to the Unified Soil Classification System and A-6 (6) soil according to AASHTO soil classification system.

  6. 4. Mass Stabilization, Stability and Settlement in Mass Stabilized Peat

    Author : Nenad Jelisic; Byggnadsmekanik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mass stabilization; stabilizer; field investigations; laboratory investigations; settlement; stability; peat; Building construction; Byggnadsteknik;

    Abstract : Peat is badly suited as a base for road and railway embankments due to its geotechnical properties. The usual procedure has been, therefore, to excavate peat and replace it with blasted rock. READ MORE

  7. 5. Risk Estimation of Groundwater Drawdown in Subsidence Sensitive Areas

    Author : Jonas Sundell; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; uncertainty quantification; urban hydrogeology; pore pressure reduction; subsidence; geostatistics; groundwater leakage; soft soil; groundwater drawdown; spatial variability; settlement; probabilistic; risk assessment;

    Abstract : Groundwater drawdown induced ground subsidence is a severe problem in many regions around the world. Leakage of groundwater into a sub-surface construction, resulting in drawdown and subsequent subsidence, can lead to immense damage costs on buildings and installations in urban areas. READ MORE
