• Assessment of Rheological Models for Run-out Distance Modeling of Sensitive Clay Slides, Focusing on Voellmy Rheology 

      Yifru, Ashenafi Lulseged (Master thesis, 2014)
      Sensitive clay landslides especially that of quick clay are the major natural hazards in Canada and Scandinavian countries. Fair estimation of post-failure movement (retrogression and run-out distances) is very important ...
    • Engineering properties of Norwegian peat for calculation of settlements 

      Long, Mike; Paniagua Lopez, Ana Priscilla; Grimstad, Gustav; Trafford, Andrew; Degago, Samson Abate; L Heureux, Jean-Sebastien (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Despite some 9% of Norway's area being underlain by peat the geotechnical characteristics of the material have not been well documented. As peatlands form an excellent carbon sink there is much pressure on planning authorities ...
    • Estimating shear wave velocity with the SCPTu and Bender element 

      Valsson, Sigurdur Mar; Dahl, Marianne; Haugen, Eigil; Degago, Samson Abate (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The shear wave velocity (vs) is an important soil and rock property that can both be used in several geotechnical problems including for evaluation of dynamic properties of soils as well as in determining the maximum value ...
    • Evaluering av beregningsmetoder for friksjonspeler i sand 

      Kolsgaard, Fredrik (Master thesis, 2020)
      Det finnes en rekke metoder for beregning av aksiell kapasitet for friksjonspeler i sandige masser, og i Norge er det to metoder som anbefales av Norges Geotekniske Forening (NGF) og Statens Vegvesen. Den ene metoden med ...
    • Modified cam clay bounding surface hyper-viscoplastic model 

      Dadrasajirlou, Davood; Grimstad, Gustav; Ghoreishian Amiri, Seyed Ali; Degago, Samson Abate; Houlsby, G. T. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Clays exhibit complex mechanical behaviour with significant viscous, nonlinear, and hysteric characteristics, beyond the prediction capacity of the well-known modified cam clay (MCC) model. This paper extends the MCC model ...
    • Norway's National GeoTest Site Research Infrastructure (NGTS) 

      L'Heureux, Jean-Sébastien; Lunne, Tom; Lacasse, Suzanne; Carroll, Roselyn; Strandvik, Stein Oddvar; Instanes, Arne; Sinitsyn, Anatoly; Degago, Samson Abate; Nordal, Steinar (Chapter, 2017)
      Benchmarking is a key to the reliability of the solutions in geotechnical engineering, both for testing and verifying innovative soil investigation methods and verifying and calibrating foundation solutions. NGI and its ...
    • On Creep during Primary Consolidation of Clays 

      Degago, Samson Abate (Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2011:203, Doctoral thesis, 2011)
      Soft clay deposits are characterized by their strong tendency to undergo significant creep deformation even during the primary consolidation phase. This creep behaviour is usually studied based on information obtained from ...
    • Tolkning av krypparametere fra CRS-forsøk 

      Johnsen, Kari Elisabeth Lien (Master thesis, 2016)
      I den siste tiden er det blitt rettet større fokus mot levetidsaspektet i byggeprosjekter. Konstruksjoner skal ofte dimensjoneres for 50 til 100 år frem i tid, noe som blant annet betyr større krav til beregning av ...
