Detta är en artikel om kalkmodifiering av lermorän och är baserad på examensarbetet ”Lime modification of clay till – a case study” (Westesson, 2015). Med kalkmodifiering menas att jordens packningsbarhet förbättras genom inblandning av kalk. Metoden att använda sig av kalk för att förbättra de geotekniska egenskaperna av leror och lermoräner är en nygammal metod och har främst använts till vägproThis report deals with lime modification of clay till. Lime modification means that the compaction properties of the soil are improved by the addition of lime. The report consists of three main parts: 1) Description of the geotechnical properties of clay till and how lime modification affects the properties; 2) Description of the implementation of lime modification and the tests conducted at a con

In modeling unsteady compressible viscous flow problems with the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, time adaptive implicit methods are needed to solve the initial value problems that arise when discretizing the equations in accordance with the method of lines. The methods most used in industrial code today are a family of multistep methods called BDF-methods. Because BDF-methods with higher ord
