This explorative study focuses on young, university attending males (22-27 years) and their understanding and pratice of the classic tail coat. It is based on five qvalitatively interpreted interwievs with a total of six participants, and through open questions regarding individuality and identicalness, limits and possibilities and inclusion and exclusion, a masculininty of a less contemporary hue takes shape. These conversations have revealed the tail coats potential of respresenting a male stereotype that can set a foundational and minimal standard for inclusion. Above this layer these males can then manifest and negotiate their masculine position in a homosocial hierarchy which decides the amount of passage, privilieges and confirmation of self- worth received for the wearer. These negotiation is performed by value bearing symbols (such as medallions, cordons and the like) allowed by the wearer and by the actions that systematically ensure that the lines of the tail coat are watched and unbroken.

En vanlig orsak till brott i svetsade kolsta?lskonstruktioner kan ha?rledas till sma? sprickbildningar som uppsta?r i svetsgodset eller det omra?de av grundmaterialet som har pa?verkats strukturellt av energin fra?n svetsprocessen, a?ven kallad HAZ. Dessa sprickor uppsta?r ofta timmar eller dagar efter avslutad svetsning och beror pa? en kombination av va?te, en ha?rd och spro?d mikrostruktur och na?rvaro av spa?nningar.Fo?r att undvika dessa sprickor kan man fo?rva?rma materialet innan svetsning. Den fo?rho?jda arbetstemperaturen ger en la?ngsammare svalning vilken minskar risken fo?r martensitbildning och la?ter va?te diffundera ut fra?n svetsfo?rbandets kritiska delar.

The different material layers as part of a road construction fill all a function so theroad becomes durable, safe, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. Recently, anew group of construction materials started to play an important role in roadconstruction ? geosynthetics.This thesis addresses the two most common types ofgeosynthetics used in modern road construction, namely geogrids and geotextiles.The most common use of geogrids is reinforcement of poor subgrade by usinggeogrid soil reinforcement, which occurs when road material particles wedge inthe geogrid?s mesh. Geotextiles act partly as a barrier that prevents the finermaterial in the below ground from being mixed with coarser upper material andalso act as a load spreader.Road contractors often face a choice of whether geogrids and/or geotextiles areappropriate in a particular road project and also how much profit the choice mightbring. This phase in the tender calculation process is the intended scope of thisthesis.The thesis deals with both the "hard" cost-function aspects and the "softer" values e.g.
