Hvor forekommer snøskred og hvilken rekkevidde har skredene i dalbunnene?
(Chapter, 1979)Snøskred kan forekomme i nær sagt alle typer terreng, fordi snø og værforholdene i løpet av et langt tidsrum i vårt klimaområde kan bli så ekstreme og snødekket så labilt samrnensatt at snøskred kan utløses safremt terrenget ... -
Hydrological Risk: Landslide
(Chapter, 2017) -
Icelandic avalanche run out models compared with topographical models used in other countries
(NGI Publication;203, Chapter, 1998)A statistical topographical model for the computation of runout for snow avalanches in Iceland has been derived from a recently assembled data sel of long Icelandic snow avalanches. The avalanches are from hills above towns ... -
Identification of slushflow situations from regional weather models
(Norwegian Geotechnical Institute;, Chapter, 2013)Slushflows are known phenomena that cause significant problems for settlements and infrastructure in Norway. Even though single events in the same location are rather rare compared to avalanches, slushflows do occur annually ... -
Impact of data acquisition parameters and processing techniques on S-wave velocity profiles from MASW – Examples from Trondheim, Norway
(Chapter, 2016)The shear modulus is one of the most important engineering parameters, and it relates directly to the soil's shear-wave velocity. Shear-wave velocities can be derived from both laboratory measurements (e.g., bender elements) ... -
Impact of innovations from the Norwegian CCS Research Centre - NCCS
(Chapter, 2021)We have evaluated the potential impact of the research and innovation performed in the Norwegian CCS Research Centre (NCCS). In this context, impact was evaluated along several axes. Examples include reduced emissions, ... -
Impact of sample quality on CPTU correlations in clay – Example from the Rakkestad clay
(Chapter, 2018)As part of the zoning plan for the new 30 km long highway, E16, from Nybakk to Slomarka, an extensive laboratory and field testing campaign was conducted by NGI. The deposit along the highway is a normally to slightly ... -
In situ detection of sensitive clays – Part I: Selected test methods
(Chapter, 2016)Sensitive and quick clays are typically found in Norway, Sweden and Canada, and are characterized by a remoulded undrained shear strength that is considerably lower than the undisturbed shear strength. In geotechnical ... -
In situ detection of sensitive clays – Part II: Results
(Chapter, 2016)Sensitive and quick clays are typically found in Norway, Sweden and Canada, and are characterised by a remoulded undrained shear strength considerably lower than the undisturbed shear strength. In geotechnical engineering, ... -
Influence of forest on snow avalanche hazard – norwegian challenges
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2012)Forested areas are less prone to snow avalanches, due to the trees' influence on snow accumulation, snow pack layering, energy balance and the armoring effect of the trees. Crown cover, tree dimensions and forest density ... -
Informed mine closure by multi-dimensional modelling of tailings deposition and consolidation
(Chapter, 2019)This paper introduces an advanced geotechnical numerical modelling approach, which can be used to simulate the gradual deposition and large-strain consolidation of tailings in a multi-dimensional space. The findings from ... -
Installation of fully grouted piezometers
(Chapter, 2016)In the planning and design phase of the E16 Sandvika – Wøyen road project in Bærum Municipality in Norway, NGI installed a large number of piezometers using the "Fully grouted" installation method. Because of layered soil ... -
Integrated database for rapid mass movements in Norway
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2006)Rapid mass movements include all kinds of slides in geological material, snow or ice. Traditionally, information about such events is collected separately in different databases covering selected geographical regions and ... -

K0 as a Function of Changes in Stress and Strain Conditions during Consolidation, Unloading and Reloading
(NGI Publication;209, Chapter, 2022)There are several examples in the literature that describe empirical correlations for the coefficient of earth pressure at rest, K0, and undrained shear strength, su, in normally consolidated and overconsolidated clays as ... -
Kartlegging av snøskred- og steinsprangfare ved hjelp av EDB-baserte metoder
(Chapter, 1984)For å unngå at boligfelt planlegges i skredfarlig tcrreng er det satt igang kartlegging av områder utsatt for snøskred-og steinsprangfare i Norge. Kartleggingen er basert på topografiske kart og i målestokk l: 15 000. Disse ... -
Kriging analysis on CPTU data from offshore wind farm

Landslide displacement prediction based on wavelet transform and long short-term memory neural network
(Chapter, 2019)The prediction of landslide displacement is a key component of an early warning system to mitigate landslide risk. Most of the models for landslide displacement prediction are static models. Yet, landslides move dynamically. ... -
Landslide Risk in Hong Kong under Extreme Storms
(Chapter, 2018)Landslides are a major hazard in Hong Kong which can lead to loss of life, injury to people, or economic losses. This paper assesses the landslide risk in western part of Hong Kong Island under extreme rainstorms of 29%, ...
