Den odränerade skjuvhållfastheten är en viktig geoteknisk parameter som man behöver ha en god uppfattning om i samband med byggnation på lerrika jordarter. Då flertalet av de vanligen tillämpade undersökningsmetoderna är väldigt tidskrävande och kostsamma, finns det ett stort intresse för att undersöka hur alternativa och samtidigt mer enkelt mätbara parametrar, så som flytindex (IL), förhåller siUndrained shear strength is a crucial parameter of the clay-rich sediments commonly used in the design process of geotechnical structures and is determined by several tests. As a considerable part of these tests are cost- and time consuming, it is of interest to investigate the potential relationship with shear strength (cu) with alternative, easily measurable parameters, such as liquidity index (

Electromechanical oscillations is a power system phenomenon where generator rotors oscillate, leading to oscillatory power flows. Damping of such oscillations is important for system stability. Forced oscillations is a special case where one faulty component is the source of the oscillation. This report concerns the Dissipating Energy Flow (DEF), which is an energy-based method for analysing dampi

Alfa Laval has in the past had a lot of successful mergers, but there were also those cases that led to sell off and those that had potential to add more value than was actually realized. In the common case, it has been shown that 60-70 per cent of M&As fall sho

The access to safe drinking water is a basic and critical component of our society. If the drinking water supply system is exposed to disturbances, it is of great importance that water suppliers are able to maintain continuity within the water distribution system. In emergency situations this has to be done using alternative methods, e.g. distribution by tanks. This report analyses if the emerge

Using the characteristics of a fire scenario as a starting point, the authors illuminated the risks using textile membranes as a building material. The burning away of the membrane and the opening of a natural smoke evacuation was chosen for further studies. Using input from validation experiments the authors simulated these experiments in FDS to explore the agreement. There was uncertainties in f

The temples of Medinet Habu, Ramesseum and Sethos I, are located in the western side of modern Luxor and

Föreningar har överlag svårt att rekrytera och engagera nya medlemmar till sin verksamhet. Det är främst i målgruppen unga vuxna, som antalet engagerade är underrepresenterade. Detta är både ett samhällsproblem och ett problem hos många föreningar. Vi är därför nyfikna på hur ideella organisationer arbetar med sitt varumärke för att nå denna målgrupp. Vårt syfte med denna uppsats är att fördjupa k
