An integration of shallow depth geophysics

The purpose of this thesis is to integrate the geophysical data gathered along side a future road construction site. The gathered data consists of: surface elevation data, CPT”s and several types of electrical and geoelectrical measurements. The data has been integrated both in a qualitative and in a quantitative way. For the qualitative...

Secondary settlement of dikes in peat areas based on CPTu

This study aims for a software tool that predict secondary settlements in soft layers on which secondary dikes are founded based on cone penetration test data. In the literature study five equations have been found that relate cone resistance and friction ratio to volumetric weight and over consolidation ratio. With the volumetric weight and...

Quantifying track condition based on soil properties

Soil is an important part of a railway track structure. It provides the foundation for the structure and distributes the imposed loads. Consequently, soil has an influence on the condition of a track structure and a low quality soil can ultimately cause failure of the track structure. To be able to include the condition of a soil in the...
