• Characterisation of the Halden silt 

      Blaker, Øyvind; Carroll, Roselyn; L'Heureux, Jean-Sébastien (Chapter, 2016)
      NGI recently established a research site on a natural silt deposit to accommodate some of the challenges related to intermediate soils. This study briefly summarises the geological history and the preliminary geotechnical ...
    • Effects of fines content in numerical simulation of CPTu in silty sands 

      Nagula, Sparsha Sinduri; Jostad, Hans Petter; Blaker, Øyvind (Lecture, 2023)
      The Cone Penetration Test (CPTu) does not measure soil properties directly; rather, it measures cone resistance, sleeve friction and pore water pressure, that correlated with laboratory test data, allow estimation of soil ...

    • Halden research site: geotechnical characterization of a post glacial silt 

      Blaker, Øyvind; Carroll, Roselyn; Paniagua Lopez, Ana Priscilla; DeGroot, Don J.; L Heureux, Jean-Sebastien (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      This paper describes the geology and geotechnical engineering properties of the Halden silt; a 10–12 m thick deposit of fjord-marine, low plasticity clayey silt. Over the last six years, the test site has been well ...
