Surveying Perception of Landslide Risk Management Performance, a Case Study in Norway
(Chapter, 2017)The effectiveness of landslide risk management should be assessed to optimize the implementation of landslide risk mitigation measures. The Risk Management Index (RMI) of Cardona et al. (Disaster risk and risk management ... -
The Svalbard fatal accident 19th December 2015 - Assisting local authorities in the acute phase
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2016)The Svalbard fatal avalanche caused massive destruction when it hit part of the village Longyearbyen Saturday morning at the start of the Christmas holiday. The avalanche released after a furious storm and killed to persons, ... -
Sørpeskred - like destruktive som snøskred, men lite kjent
(Chapter, 1999)Sørpeskred - hurtigflytende masser av snø og vann - forårsaker hvert år store skader i Norge. En oversikt over Norges Geotekniske Institutt sin kunnskap om sørpekred, tilegnet gjennom 25 år med forskning og konsulentarbeid, ... -
Temperature gradient metamorphism and its relation with the avalanche release
(NGI Publication;203, Chapter, 1998)In winter there is a considerable amount of solid precipitation in the western part of Himalayas. Avalanche frequently occur here, and often endanger national economic construction and human life. Observations show that ... -
Temporal changes in the spatial variability of shear strength and stability.
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2006)Avalanche forecasting involves the prediction of spatial and temporal variability of the snowpack. To predict avalanches with more accuracy it is important to determine whether the snowpack is becoming more spatially ... -
The most recent view of vulnerability

The Refne landslide, Halden, Norway: case history and use of risk assessment
(Chapter, 2016)In 2014, a landslide in a steep slope beneath an apartment block in Refne in the city of Halden, Norway led to the evacuation of over 60 residents from their homes. The landslide is assumed to have been triggered by unusually ... -
Thin-layer detection from the cone resistance rate of change
(Chapter, 2022) -
Transferring avalanches between paths
(NGI Publication;203, Chapter, 1998)Estimates of exceedance probabilities of runout lengths of avalanches for a specific path can rarely be based on measured avalanches in that slope alone, if they are to become statistically reliable. Thus one has, directly ... -
Trykkvirkninger av skred
(Chapter, 1979)Masse i bevegelse følger de generelle fysiske grunnprinsipper: K = m . a (newtons 2 . lov).... -
Twenty-five years of snow and avalanche research at NGI: Geotechnique contributions.
(NGI Publication;203, Chapter, 1998)In this paper, I wish to review the far reaching contributions from snow and avalanche research at NG! over the last 25 years. My review is based on my own association with the research at NGI (24 years) as well as the ... -
Ultimate Limit States of Foundation on Random Unsaturated Soils
(Chapter, 2019)This paper investigates stochastically the case of a shallow foundation resting on unsaturated heterogeneous soil under rainfall infiltration. Porosity is assumed to vary spatially while other soil parameters are constant. ... -
Undrained Shear Strength of Overconsolidated Clay
(NGI Publication;209, Chapter, 2022)It has been known for a long time now that in soft and sensitive clays undrained failure occurs apparently before the full friction angle has been mobilized. The main object of this paper is to clarify the importance of ... -
The upgraded full-scale avalanche test-site Ryggfonn, Norway.
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2010)Measurements of full-scale avalanches are expensive and time consuming, but are indispensable to gain in-depth understanding of the flow behavior of avalanches. They are needed to crosscheck the scaling used in small-scale ... -
The use of a numerical snow-drift model as a decision making tool in the planning of avalanche protection measures.
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2002)Blowing and' drifting snow is not only a major factor in the assessment of the acute avalanche danger, its contribution to the snow distribution also influences land-use planning. In many parts of alpine terrain end an ... -
The use of commercial cad software in snow avalanche run-out estimation
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2012)Linear infrastructures like highways and transmission lines often pass avalanche terrain both in remote and urban areas. In some cases these areas are quite wide, measured along the lines, and the number of avalanche paths ...
