Thesis rises from an actual needs to make standard of practice for assessment an existing arch railway masonry bridges on the basis of condition long term monitoring. Bridge assessment is a part of any inspection, especially in case of doubts arising during inspections due to heavy defects, increase of axle load or increase of train frequency, which may influence the structural safety, traffic safety or durability of a bridge. There are possibilities for utilization of monitoring results for assessment in case of investigation data absece. An important option is assessment based on satisfactory past performance by ČSN ISO 13822, chapter 8.

L’ouverture du contact béton-rocher des barrages-voûtes est un phénomène fréquemment observé, qui se traduit par une piézométrie locale caractérisée par des effets non-linéaires : effet de seuil et couplage de ses facteurs explicatifs (effets hydrostatiques, thermiques, et temporels). Afin d’interpréter les mesures d’auscultation correspondantes, il est nécessaire de tenir compte de la non-additivité de ces influences, ce que ne permettent pas les modèles physico-statistiques de type régression linéaire multiple actuellement utilisés par l’ingénierie. Dans ce contexte, les objectifs de cette thèse sont d’aboutir à une meilleure compréhension des phénomènes hydrauliques ayant lieu à l’interface béton-rocher grâce à l’analyse et interprétation des mesures d’auscultation, et de caractériser l’état de dégradation du contact, en particulier son extension spatiale, à partir de ces mesures. À cet effet, deux modèles ont été développés, l’un basé sur les réseaux de neurones artificiels, l’autre sur une formulation non-linéaire du modèle HST, permettant d’expliciter l’effet des différentes charges sur l’écoulement. L’interprétation de la piézométrie en termes d’effets réversibles et irréversibles a permis de proposer une caractérisation d’ordre géométrique de l’état du contact dans un profil amont-aval, basée uniquement sur la lecture de ces effets. Puis, un modèle analytique d’écoulement a été formulé et investigué, construit à partir de cette description géométrique du contact, qui permet d’interpréter le champ de pression en plusieurs points de mesure d’un même profil. / The aperture of the rock-concrete interface of arch dams is a frequently observed phenomenon that shows through the non-linear features it induces in the local piezometry: threshold effects, couplings between its explanatory factors (hydrostatic effects, thermal effects, temporal effects). In order to interpret the corresponding monitoring measurements, it is necessary to take into account the non-additivity of those influences. This is not feasible with the multi-linear regression models that are commonly used in engineering. In that context, the aim of this thesis is to come to a better understanding of the hydraulic phenomena that occur at the rock-concrete interface based on the analysis and interpretation of monitoring measurements. In parallel, the objective is to characterise the state of deterioration of the contact, and more particularly its spatial extent, thanks to those measurements. To that end, two models were developed, the first one based on artificial neural networks, the second one based on a non-linear formulation of HST, enabling to make explicit the effects of the different loads on the flow. The interpretation of the piezometry in terms of reversible and irreversible effects made it possible to propose a geometrical characterisation of the contact state in an upstream-downstream profile, based only on the analysis of those effects. Then, an analytical flow model was expressed and investigated, built on this geometrical description of the contact. It permits to interpret the pressure field in several measuring points in one profile.

When the financial markets start to shake investors start looking for a safe asset for protection. When people talk about a safe asset, they for the most part refer to gold. But is that really the case? There are few studies about gold as a safe haven however they do not concern the Swedish financial market. That is the purpose of this research; to examine if gold could act as a safe haven in the financial market in Sweden. This is of interest since there is an economic crisis caused by covid19 at this particular moment. The result could help us understand how investors could use gold in their portfolio of investments. To do this we have gathered daily returns from OMXS30, gold, and a 10-year Swedish government bond. With a statistical model we answered the question.

The Cretaceous Almond Formation, located in the Greater Green River Basin, records deposition of coastal plain fluvial sandstones and shallow marginal-marine sandstones in a net-transgressive sequence along the western margin of the Cretaceous Interior Seaway (CIS) from the late Campanian to early Maastrichtian. The Almond Formation is an important hydrocarbon reservoir, with development mainly along the Wamsutter Arch and the northeast margins of the Washakie Basin. Previous studies have primarily focused on outcrops along the eastern flank of the Rock Springs Uplift and subsurface data targeting the Wamsutter Arch. Further development of the Almond petroleum system requires extending our understanding of lateral facies changes and sequence stratigraphic architecture away from areas that have been previously studied. The aim of this research is to build a predictive model of lateral and temporal facies transitions and associated reservoir character along the Cherokee Arch in southern Wyoming. This structural feature marks the southern margin of the Washakie Basin and is roughly perpendicular to the shoreline of the CIS. Outcrop examination at either end of the arch shows that lower Almond strata along the western margin of the Washakie Basin transition from coastal plain facies associations to time-equivalent shallow-marine strata to the east, while the upper Almond strata transition from shallow-marine sands to offshore and prodeltaic muds across the ~125 km separating the two outcrop localities. This reveals clear facies associations shifts at the basin scale, which are difficult to interpret using only well data. The preservation of shoreface strata and related near-shore, fluvio-deltaics across large distances in the dip direction shows the large magnitude of shoreline migration. This also suggests that the system gradient was likely very gentle, leading to wide facies belts, and that reservoir continuity could be complex over significant distances. Stacking patterns observed in outcrop, core, and log curves demonstrate an early progradational sequence across the basin from the west to east. This time equivalent strata suggests sediment supply outpaced accommodation during deposition of the lower Almond and equivalent basinward strata, leading to progradation and eventually to some aggradation before relative sea-level rose. This is significant as the Almond is thought primarily as an overall retrogradational system. Within the upper Almond and basinward equivalent strata, stacking patterns reveal a well preserved retrogradational sequence as accommodation outpaced sediment supply during the final transgression of the Mesaverde Group. Core and outcrop analysis to the east at this time show facies associations that potentially represent an inundated, estuarine deltaic environment of deposition transitioning to deltaic depofacies to the west. Clinoformal geometry and an additional sand found in the subsurface of a cluster of only southern wells corroborate a deltaic interpretation. This sand is interpreted as a lobate deposit flanked by shale to the north. Shorelines span a short distance in the east and a much broader distance to the west with a clear facies shift in between allowing for marine shale to directly overlay coastal plain facies. Outcrop, core, and subsurface datasets have led to a better understanding of sediment partitioning and preservation during this transgressive phase of the CIS in the western United States. A better understanding of these spatial and temporal patterns will help to remove risk associated with exploration along this trend, as well as serve as an analogue for other transgressive deposits. Additional data would increase knowledge of this system and lead to solidification of new ideas presented for the Almond Formation along the Cherokee Arch.
