• An Experimental Study of Thermal Properties of Permafrost Soils 

      Bratlie, Una Helene Haug (Master thesis, 2018)
      Soil is a multiphase porous media, and its complexity increases when the soil freezes. The high compressive strength of frozen soil has been utilized by geotechnical engineers in construction of frozen earth structures. ...
    • An experimental study of unfrozen water content in fine grained permafrost soils 

      Nybo, Marte Sundby (Master thesis, 2017)
      The strength of a soil increases when the ground freezes, but some of the water will remain unfrozen. Unfrozen water content is an important thermal property of a soil as flowing water may supply heat, reduce the strength, ...
    • Evaluation of Thermosyphons for Permafrost Stabilization in Longyearbyen 

      Skrebergene, Ole Kristian (Master thesis, 2023)
      Denne rapporten undersøker effektiviteten av termosifoner som en bærekraftig løsning for å opprettholde permafrostintegriteten i konteksten av skiftende klimaforhold i Longyearbyen, Svalbard. Studien tar sikte på å vurdere ...
    • 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 ...
