Earthquake Geotechnics in Offshore Engineering
(Chapter, 2018)This paper presents a number of geotechnical issues encountered in earthquake design of offshore structures and subsea facilities. Parallel with construction of traditional structures such as jackets and gravity-based ... -
Effect of cone penetrometer type on CPTU results at a soft clay test site in Norway
(Chapter, 2018)Seven different cone penetrometers from 5 manufacturers have been used in a comparative testing program at the Norwegian GeoTest site (NGTS) on soft clay in Onsøy, Norway. Tests with all cone types give very repeatable ... -
Effect of high elevation birch forest on snow stability
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2013)Forest and especially evergreen conifers like pine and spruce are known to reduce avalanche formation due to their physical anchoring effect and their influence on snow pack layering through changed temperature, radiation, ... -
Effect of piezocone penetration rate on the classification of Norweian silt
(Chapter, 2018)Interpretation of Cone Penetration Tests (CPTU) in intermediate soils is complex due to partially drained conditions during penetration. In order to gain more insight into the material behavior of silt during a CPTU, an ... -
Effect of strain softening behaviours on run-out distance of a sensitive clay landslide
(Chapter, 2017)Reliable prediction of landslide triggering threshold and landslide run-out distance is essential for hazard risk assessment. The paper focuses on studying slides in sensitive clays, which represent a major geohazard in ... -
Effects of curvature in avalanche deflecting dams
(Chapter, 2005)Avalanches and other types of slides represent significant danger to people and property in large parts of the world. Deflecting dams, i.e. dams that change the courses of avalanches to prevent impact upon houses or roads, ... -
Estimation of Thickness and Layering of Johansen and Cook Sandstones at the Potential Co2 Storage Site Aurora
(Chapter, 2021)We have estimated the reservoir sand thickness and internal layering in the Aurora area, a planned geological CO2 storage site in the northern North Sea. The results are obtained by stochastic Markov chain Monte Carlo ... -
Evaluating geoparameters of Maine sensitive clay by CPTU
(Chapter, 2022) -
Evaluation and monitoring of man-made slope failure at Øysand, Norway
(Chapter, 2022) -
Evaluation of existing CPTu-based correlations for the deformation properties of Finnish soft clays
(Chapter, 2018)An extensive research program for soil testing has been conducted on five soft clay deposits located in Finland. This research project aims to collect data from high quality in-situ and laboratory tests and derive correlations ... -
Evaluation of existing CPTu-based correlations for the undrained shear strength of soft Finnish clays
(Chapter, 2018)The Tampere University of Technology has been carrying out an extensive research program on soil testing in Finland. The aim of this research project is to collect data from high-quality in situ and laboratory tests and ... -
Evaluation of sample disturbance of three Norwegian clays
(Chapter, 2017) -
Experimental study on axial and lateral bearing capacities of nonwelded composite piles based on pile load test results
(Chapter, 2016)In the presented paper, the axial and lateral behaviors of non-welded composite piles were investigated based on pile load test results. Recently, a composite pile composed of steel pipe and PHC pile was introduced into ... -
Experiments with remote sensing in the context of avalanche warning and detection
(Chapter, 2012)Two Norwegian projects carried out by NGI and NR have investigated and experimented with the potential of using remote sensing for avalanche warning and detection: The Norwegian Space Centre (NSC) supported project “Improved ... -
The eye in the sky: Avalanche mapping from space
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2016)The Seward Highway in Alaska has over one hundred avalanche paths spread out along a 150 km major transportation corridor, which traverses three different avalanche climatic regimes. This coupled with a small staff can ... -
Finite element modeling of snow-pack lying on a slope, considering snow as isotropic compressible viscoplastic media
(NGI Publication;203, Chapter, 1998)A simple extension of the von Mises plasticity is proposed in which the equivalent stress is defined as a function of deviatoric and hydrostatic stresses. Non-linearity is accounted by extending NortonHoff equation for ... -
Flow cone – new CPTU add-on module trialled in Halden silt
