2. 1. Automated performance monitoring of concrete dams

   Author : Christian Bernstone; Teknisk geologi; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydrogeologi; teknisk geologi; geographical and geological engineering; Maintenance; Uplift pressure; Crack; Deformation; Image processing; Dams; Condition monitoring; Time-domain reflectometry; GPS; Image analysis; Concrete structures; teknisk geografi; Hydrogeology;

   Abstract : The Swedish hydropower industry operates a large number of power plants and dams geographically spread over the country. The level of safety of a specific dam is to a large extent determined during the design and construction phases that in the case of Swedish hydropower plants took place several decades ago.

4. 2. Groundwater occurrence and risk of pollution in a mountain watershed of Nicaragua

   Author : Alfredo Mendoza; Teknisk geologi; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; teknisk geologi; electrical resistivity; surface water; springs; Nicaragua; Hydrogeology; groundwater; teknisk geografi; geographical and geological engineering; Hydrogeologi;

   Abstract : Hydrogeological and geophysical methods were applied in the Río Artiguas watershed, a mountain basin located in central Nicaragua. This area is under environmental stress from anthropogenic activities like gold mining using mercury and waste disposal into the streams. READ MORE

5. 3. Surface Wave Testing of Pavements

   Author : Nils Rydén; Teknisk geologi; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; geographical and geological engineering; Hydrogeologi; teknisk geologi; teknisk geografi; Hydrogeology; inversion; guided waves; road; pavement; Surface waves; non-destructive testing;

   Abstract : A novel approach for surface wave testing of pavements is presented. It is a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique that can be used to obtain the thickness and stiffness properties of the different layers in a pavement. READ MORE

6. 4. Resistivity investigation and monitoring for detection of internal erosion and anomalous seepage in embankment dams

   Author : Pontus Sjödahl; Teknisk geologi; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydrogeologi; teknisk geologi; internal erosion; Hydrogeology; geographical and geological engineering; time-lapse inversion; inversion; monitoring; modelling; resistivity; detection; leakage; seepage; teknisk geografi; embankment dam;

   Abstract : Methods for monitoring seepage and detecting internal erosion are essential for the safety evaluation of embankment dams. Internal erosion is one of the major reasons for embankment dam failures, and there are several tenths of thousands of large embankment dams in the world. 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
