Abstract
This thesis examines how safety factors are defined, selected, and evaluated in the design of sheet pile walls by comparing traditional geotechnical calculation methods with finite element analysis (FEM). It aims to clarify the handling of uncertainties and model assumptions in classical calculations versus numerical simulations and to discuss implications for reliability and design decisions. The available excerpt contains only the front matter and provides no details on methodology, datasets, or results; accordingly, this abstract outlines the study’s overall focus rather than specific findings.
Denne afhandling undersøger, hvordan sikkerhedsfaktorer defineres, vælges og vurderes i design af spunsvægge ved at sammenligne traditionelle geotekniske beregningsmetoder med numerisk analyse (FEM). Formålet er at tydeliggøre håndteringen af usikkerheder og antagelser i klassiske beregninger kontra simuleringer samt diskutere betydningen for pålidelighed og projekteringsbeslutninger. Det tilgængelige uddrag indeholder kun titelblad og giver ingen detaljer om den anvendte metode, datasæt eller resultater; derfor beskriver dette resumé afhandlingens overordnede fokus frem for konkrete fund.
