A research study has been conducted to simulate liquefaction in saturated sandy soil induced by nearby controlled blasts. The purpose of the study is to help quantify soil characteristics under multiple and consecutive high-magnitude shock environments similar to those produced by large earthquakes. The simulation procedure involved the modeling of a three-dimensional half-space soil region with pre-defined, embedded, and strategically located explosive charges to be detonated at specific time intervals. LS-DYNA, a commercially available finite element hydrocode, was the solver used to simulate the event. A new geo-material model developed under the direction of the U.S. Federal Highway Administration was applied to evaluate the liquefaction potential of saturated sandy soil subjected to sequential blast environments. Additional procedural enhancements were integrated into the analysis process to represent volumetric effects of the saturated soil's transition from solid to liquid during the liquefaction process. Explosive charge detonation and pressure development characteristics were modeled using proven and accepted modeling techniques. As explosive charges were detonated in a pre-defined order, development of pore water pressure, volumetric (compressive) strains, shear strains, and particle accelerations were carefully computed and monitored using custom developed MathCad and C/C++ routines. Results of the study were compared against blast-test data gathered at the Fraser River Delta region of Vancouver, British Columbia in May of 2005 to validate and verify the modeling procedure's ability to simulate and predict blast-induced liquefaction events. Reasonable correlations between predicted and measured data were observed from the study.

The thesis is devoted to determining the parameters of the bucket to increase productivity of dredgers while mining deep-water organic-mineral sediments. It was achieved by increasing the fill factor through determining the rational geometrical parameters of the bucket. Analytical dependencies of the rational height and length of the bucket on the cutting parameters and physical-and-mechanical properties of the excavated sediments were determined. Expressions for defining forces while digging plasticity water-saturated soils were developed. Experimental investigations of the process of digging deep-water organic-mineral sediments in laboratory conditions and in the real conditions of operating single-bucket dredger in the Black Sea at the depth of 1885 m were carried out. The technique for calculation of the bucket\'s parameters was developed.

Diplomová práca,, ,,Analysis of boundary conditions of ground heat exchangers,, je primárne zameraná na analýzu okrajových podmienok a hlavných faktorov vplývajúcich na spoľahlivý návrh a prestup tepla plošného zemného výmenníka v oblasti geotermálnych aktivít na kúpeľnom ostrove v Piešťanoch. Posúdenie možných vplyvov na životné prostredie, ako je napríklad vznik tepelných zmien v dôsledku extrakcie tepla vrátane zamŕzania pôdy v okolí potrubia a potenciálneho znečistenia podzemných vôd je taktiež rozoberané. Súčasťou tejto záverečnej práce boli spracované tri numerické analýzy metódou konečných prvkov pomocou softvéru COMSOL Multiphysics 5.6., ktoré sa môžu vyskytnúť v tejto konkrétnej oblasti. Prvá numerická analýza je podrobená štúdii dynamických procesov plošného zemného výmenníka tepla a zeminy nasýtenou vodou pri konštantnej teplotnej okrajovej podmienke pôdy. Dynamický proces zemného výmenníka tepla a nasýteného podložia pri nestálej teplotnej okrajovej podmienke je skúmaný v druhej numerickej analýze. Posledná analýza je vyhotovená na posúdenie prevádzky plošného zemného výmenníka tepla s možnosťou prúdenia podzemnej vody v rovnakej vrstve. Vďaka týmto numerickým štúdiám a výsledkom dynamických tepelných modelov, každá prípadová štúdia obsahuje rozloženie teplôt v zemine, výstupné teploty z výmenníka a vlastný čiastočný záver.

This thesis presents validation and application of advanced soil constitutive models in cases of seismic loading conditions. Firstly, results of three advanced soil constitutive models are compared with examples of shear stack experimental data for free field response in dry sand for shear and compression wave propagation. Higher harmonic generation in acceleration records, observed in experimental works, is shown to be possibly the result of soil nonlinearity and fast elastic unloading waves. This finding is shown to have high importance on structural response, real earthquake records and reliability of conventionally employed numerical tools. Finally, short study of free field response in saturated soil reveals similar findings on higher harmonic generation. Secondly, two advanced soil constitutive models are used, and their performance is assessed based on examples of experimental data on piles in dry sand in order to validate the ability of the constitutive models to simulate seismic soil-structure interaction. The validation includes various experimental configurations and input motions. The discussion on the results focuses on constitutive and numerical modelling aspects. Some improvements in the formulations of the models are suggested based on the detailed investigation. Finally, the application of one of the advanced soil constitutive models is shown in regard to temporary natural frequency wandering observed in structures subjected to earthquakes. Results show that pore pressure generated during seismic events causes changes in soil stiffness, thus affecting the natural frequency of the structure during and just after the seismic event. Parametric studies present how soil permeability, soil density, input motion or a type of structure may affect the structural natural frequency and time for its return to the initial value. In addition, a time history with an aftershock is analysed to investigate the difference in structural response during the earthquake and the aftershock.
