Andreas Sjölander has investigated the structural behaviour of fibre-reinforced shotcrete used as rock support. As part of the project, an important tool that can be used in future studies has been developed. Hopefully, the results can be a step towards reducing the use of shotcrete in tunnels and scaling down the overuse that we normally see today.

Jesper Ahlin Marceta has analysed whether it is possible to reliably determine that a patient expresses inauthentic wishes and if a healthcare decision should be overridden for paternalist reasons if it can be determined as inauthentic.
Hopefully, the results can benefit patients suffering from medical conditions that affect their decision-making processes.
