A management tool to reduce the risk of damage caused by geotechnical groundworks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021) -
Assessment of building damage due to excavation-induced displacements: The GIBV method
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This paper presents an original methodology for the rapid assessment of “potential” building damage caused by an excavation. The combination of the Ground-work Impact (GI), in terms of induced greenfield displacements, and ... -
Biochar for the Improvement of Soil and Rock With Acid Potentia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Biochar is a carbonaceous material generated by the heating of organic matter under limited access to oxygen (called pyrolysis). While pyrolysis is applied to dry feed, hydrothermal carbonization can be used for wet materials ... -
Persistent, mobile and toxic (PMT) and very persistent and very mobile (vPvM) substances pose an equivalent level of concern to persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) and very persistent and very bioaccumulative (vPvB) substances under REACH
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Under the EU chemicals regulation REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals EC 1907/2006), registrants are not obliged to provide information related to intrinsic substance properties for ... -
Estimation of natural frequencies and damping using dynamic field data from an offshore wind turbine
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The dynamic characteristics of offshore wind turbines are heavily affected by environmental loads from wave and wind action and nonlinear soil behaviour. In the design of the monopile structures, the fatigue load due to ... -
Stabilization of PFAS-contaminated soil with activated biochar
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Biochars are considered potential sustainable sorbents to reduce the leaching of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) fromcontaminated soils. However, biochar characteristicsmust probably be optimized to achieve ... -
Research on the relationship between urban form and urban smog in China
(Journal article, 2017)The present study aims at exploring whether aspects of urban form (compactness ratio and elongation ratio) are associated with urban smog (particulate matter) in China. Quantitative indicators relating to urban form and ... -
Long-term effects of thin layer capping in the Grenland fjords, Norway: Reduced uptake of dioxins in passive samplers and sediment-dwelling organisms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The Grenlandfjords in South East Norway are severely contaminated with dioxins from a magnesium smelter operated between 1950 and 2001. In 2009, the proposal of thin-layer capping as a potential mitigation method to reduce ... -
Ranking REACH registered neutral, ionizable and ionic organic chemicals based on their aquatic persistency and mobility
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)The contaminants that have the greatest chances of appearing in drinking water are those that are mobile enough in the aquatic environment to enter drinking water sources and persistent enough to survive treatment processes. ... -
Site-specific soil reaction model for monopiles in soft clay based on laboratory element stress-strain curves
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Large-diameter monopiles are the predominant foundation solution for supporting offshore wind turbines. They are conventionally designed using soil reaction curves developed for long slender piles used for supporting ... -
Multiscale characterisation of chimneys/pipes: Fluid escape structures within sedimentary basins
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Evaluation of seismic reflection data has identified the presence of fluid escape structures cross-cutting overburden stratigraphy within sedimentary basins globally. Seismically-imaged chimneys/pipes are considered to be ... -
Oppdatert tiltaksplan for forurenset sjøbunn utenfor Elkem Carbon, Kristiansand
(NIVA-rapport, Research report, 2021)Denne rapporten er en oppdatering av NIVA-rapport 7276-2018 «Tiltaksplan for forurenset sjøbunn utenfor Elkem Carbon, Kristiansand» (Olsen og medarb. 2018). Basert på nye analyser og modellering er det presentert utforming ... -
Challenging Infrastructure Project Assisted by Monitoring and Numerical Modelling as the Follo Line Tunnels were Excavated Below Existing Tunnels

Reducing Impact of Vibrations from Compaction on Slope Stability
(Chapter, 2020) -
Modelling 2018 Anak Krakatoa Flank Collapse and Tsunami: Effect of Landslide Failure Mechanism and Dynamics on Tsunami Generation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The 2018 Anak Krakatoa volcano flank collapse generated a tsunami that impacted the Sunda Strait coastlines. In the absence of a tsunami early warning system, it caused several hundred fatalities. There are ongoing discussions ... -
Numerical Wavenumber Integration for 2.5D Wave Equation Solution

Effect of prior small to moderate seismic events on monotonic undrained shear strength of sand
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In this study we investigate the effect of prior seismic shaking on the monotonic shear strength of saturated Ottawa Sand 20/30. We perform a series of stress-controlled undrained cyclic triaxial tests with different seismic ... -
Paper product production identified as the main source of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in a Norwegian lake: Source and historic emission tracking
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The entirety of the sediment bed in lake Tyrifjorden, Norway, is contaminated by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). A factory producing paper products and a fire station were investigated as possible sources. Fire ... -
Living Labs—A Concept for Co-Designing Nature-Base Solutions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Living Labs are recognized as a progressive form to foster innovation and the strengthening of collaborative planning. The concept has received strong attention by the European Union (EU) research and innovation agendas ...
