Research projects on Soil Mechanics
Current projects
-
MinImpact – an Interreg Aurora project
-
Construction and evaluation of mine cover systems with upgraded soil
Experience gained from laboratory and pilot tests. The overall aim of the project is to facilitate the design of mine reclamation measures, providing a methodology to design mine covers.
-
3D effects on slope stability analysis
In this project, the influence of 3D effects on slope stability analysis will be studied focusing on extend of excavations and distance to the embankment to identify scenarios. The findings can be helpful to improve current engineering practice.
-
Interpretation of dynamic measurement
The project aims to study how frequency data used to detect defects in tracks and ballast can also be used to describe the embankments properties for larger sections.
-
Differential Frost Heave Modelling
The project focuses on describing the effect of suction on heave and 2D-thermal modelling. This project is funded by BVFF.
-
Optimising Light Embankment Piling
The aim of the project is to optimise the design of geosynthetic-reinforced timber piled embankments, a.k.a. light embankment piling. The project is financed by Branschsamverkan i Grunden.
-
STASIS - sustainable management of disposed sulphide rich soils
Aims to develop methods to inhibit sulphide oxidation and stabilize sulphide rich masses both chemically and physically, using lime, biochar and other amendments.
-
Green liquor dregupgraded soils as oxygen barrier in mine waste covers
An environmental problem arises when sulfide-bearing mine waste is exposed to atmospheric oxygen, sulfides (often iron sulfides) oxidize and produce acidity.
-
Modelling for the selection of remediation strategies for TSF
The aim of the pre-study was to develop a strategy to design the remediation for tailings storage facilities with multilayer covers, based on numerical modelling taking advantage of EPM’s experience of numerical modelling and applying this knowledge to climatic conditions in northern Sweden and Finl...
