1. Confined Compression of Single Particles : Development of a Novel Triaxial Testing Instrument and Particle-Scale Modelling
Abstract : When predicting the performance of a powder compaction process, assessing the behaviour of the particles comprising the powder bed is of central relevance. Currently, however, no experimental methods are available for mimicking the multiaxial loading conditions imposed on the individual particles in a powder bed during compaction, and such analyses are therefore usually performed in silico.

2. Mechanical Behavior of Tailings : Laboratory Tests from a Swedish Tailings Dam
Abstract : Tailings is leftover material from mining industry and is produced in huge quantities approximately 70-99% of the ore production. Tailings material is stored as impoundments by constructing tailings dams which are often constructed with tailings material itself. READ MORE

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

4. Behaviour and modelling of a natural soft clay : triaxial testing, constitutive relations and finite element modelling
Abstract : The main objectives if the research project have been to create an experimental basis for a more general theoretical modelling of Swedish clays and to improve the knowledge of the mechanical behaviour of natural soft clays. Another objective has been to investigate the effects of end restraint on the mechanical behaviour obtained in triaxial tests, by means of numerical simulations. READ MORE

5. Mixed-Grained Till in Pavement Structures; A Field and Laboratory Study
Abstract : The road network in Sweden has historically been constructed using rock fill and natural gravel. More than 75 per cent of the land surface of Sweden is covered by glacial till and greater utilization of site-won material will not only reduce transportation costs but will also promote better sustainability of natural assets.
