Avalanche run-out on counter-slopes
Moe, Arne; Bakkehøi, Steinar; Wieshofer, Sigrid; Domaas, Ulrik (Journal article, 2003)Counter-slopes in avalanche paths influence avalanche flow in similarways as defence structures. Measurements and calculations of run-outon such slopes will improve our understanding of retaining damdesign. We have studied ... -
Beregning av krefter mot horisontale elementer i snødekket.
Lied, Karstein; Bakkehøi, Steinar (NGI-rapport;75418-05, Research report, 1977-02-28)Norges Geotekniske Institutt har på oppdrag fra NVE - Statskraftverkene foretatt en teoretisk beregning av snøens vertikale belastning mot opphengte horisontale elementer nede i snødekket. Ved beregningen har man antatt ... -
Calculation of snow avalanche runout distance.
Bakkehøi, Steinar; Domaas, Ulrik; Lied, Karstein (Journal article, 1983)Evaluation of the maximum runout distance of snow avalanches is one of the most important problems in avalanche zoning. It is also one of the most difficult and controversial subjects in avalanche research. This is especially ... -
Can we learn more from the data underlying the statistical a-ß model with respect to the dynamical behavior of avalanches?
Gauer, Peter; Kronholm, Kalle; Lied, Karstein; Kristensen, Krister; Bakkehøi, Steinar (Journal article, 2010)Hazard and risk assessment in avalanche-prone areas involves estimation of runout distances of potential avalanches. Methods for determination of the runout may be divided into two categories: 1) methods based on statistical ... -
Climate database for avalanche consulting and warning in Norway
Jaedicke, Christian; Bakkehøi, Steinar (Journal article, 2007)Climate data is an essential tool for the study of weather induced geophysical processes like avalanches. Climate data provides on overview of normal and extreme weather conditions at a given location. This information can ... -
Comparing topographical and dynamical runout models by ideas of nearest neighbour method
Bakkehøi, Steinar; Norem, Harald (Journal article, 1999)Different avalanche runout models are used to compare the calculated results against observations of 230 real avalanches in Norway. The parameters used in the models are investigated and optimized to get the best fit to ... -
