• An attempt to monitor pore pressure changes in a block sample during and after sampling 

      Amundsen, Helene A.; Jønland, Jan; Emdal, Arnfinn; Thakur, Vikas Kumar Singh (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      A soil sample goes through stress changes during and after sampling. Sensitive clays are affected by sample disturbance and stress changes have a great effect on the quality. The reduction of in-situ total stresses to zero ...
    • Evaluation of sample disturbance of three Norwegian clays 

      Paniagua, P; L'Heureux, Jean-Sébastien; Carroll, Roselyn; Kåsin, Kristoffer; Sjursen, Morten Andreas; Amundsen, Helene A. (Chapter, 2017)
      The quality and reliability of laboratory test data in sensitive clay can significantly be affected by sample disturbance. In turn, sample disturbance may affect key design parameters such as compressibility, preconsolidation ...
    • On engineering characterisation of a low plastic sensitive soft clay 

      Amundsen, Helene A.; Emdal, Arnfinn; Sandven, Rolf; Thakur, Vikas (Chapter, 2015)
      In central Norway, the soft clays can be extremely sensitive to disturbance during sampling and preparation for laboratory testing. In this paper a low plastic sensitive soft clay from Klett is presented. It is challenging ...
    • Simulering av prøvetakingsprosessen i PLAXIS 2D 

      Edvardsen, Kristina Molland (Master thesis, 2015)
      Under prøvetaking påføres jorden volumendringer og avlastning av totalspenning oppstår, noe som videre fører til en endring i poretrykk. Når prøven avlastes fra in situ spenningsstilstand oppstår det et sug, $-u_k$, i ...
