1. Phytobenthic communities in the Baltic Sea - seasonal patterns in settlement and succession
Abstract : Seasonal changes in reproduction, recruitment, occurrence and growth of marine plant and animal species is a common phenomenon world-wide. This thesis investigates whether such seasonal changes could determine the succession in subtidal phytobenthic communities on free space in the Baltic Sea. READ MORE

2. Simulation of track settlement in railway turnouts-An iterative approach
Abstract : In this thesis, a methodology for simulation of track settlement in railway turnouts (switches andcrossings, S&C) is presented. The methodology predicts the accumulated settlement for a given setof traffic loads using an iterative and cross-disciplinary procedure. READ MORE

3. Differential railway track settlement in a transition zone – Field measurements and numerical simulations
Abstract : In a transition zone between two different railway track forms, there is a discontinuity in track structure leading to a gradient in track stiffness. Examples include transitions between different superstructures, e.g., slab track to ballasted track, and/or between different substructures, e. READ MORE

4. Flow effects on settlement and recruitment in the barnacle BALANS IMPROVISUS with applications for biofouling control
Abstract : An understanding of the processes causing patterns of organism distributions in time and space is fundamental in ecology. For sessile marine invertebrates, water motion is an important predictor of distribution patterns, affecting organisms all the way from dispersal to post-settlement recruitment. READ MORE

5. Deformation Behavior of Lime/Cement Column Stabilized Clay
Abstract : Deep stabilization of clay with lime/cement columns has lately become one of the most frequent methods for improvement of soft clays. The method is cost effective, as it results in a drastic reduction of settlement. The theories used for design were originally developed for lime columns. READ MORE
