Probabilistic flood forecast model based on remote sensing information

This study aims to explore the possibility of employing remote sensing images to build a probabilistic flood extent forecasting model. This model is constructed and tested in two study areas: New Orleans and Miami. Images that recorded flooding events are first performed with segmentation method Seed Region Growing, and segmented images are...

Geotechnical characterization of sediments from the Rockall Bank Slide Complex

The main reason for this research is the possibility of landslides that could trigger a tsunami together with general interest from the oil and gas industry. The goal of this thesis is to find out what the geotechnical properties are of the 7 different locations at the eastern flank of the Rockall bank which is located to the west of Ireland and...

Dry Deep Soil Mixing Soil-Cement column panels as bottom struts for excavation support: Revising of design methodology in Scandinavia

Deep Soil Mixing is an often-applied technique in the reinforcement of embankments, but little has been done to investigate and understand its behavior when used in excavation projects. The present research presents a database of the results of previous studies on the Deep Soil Mixing technique in Scandinavian soils. An expression that can...
