• Breach Progression Observation in Rockfill Dam Models Using Photogrammetry 

      Kiplesund, Geir Helge; Sigtryggsdottir, Fjola Gudrun; Lia, Leif (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Dam failures are examples of man-made disasters that have stimulated investigation into the processes related to the failure of different dam types. Embankment dam breaching during an overtopping event is one of the major ...
    • Effects of toe configuration on throughflow properties of rockfill dams 

      Kiplesund, Geir Helge; Hiriyanna Rao Ravindra, Ganesh; Rokstad, Marius Møller; Sigtryggsdottir, Fjola Gudrun (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Rockfill dams must be equipped with defence mechanisms to counteract the destabilizing effects of throughflow forces under accidental leakage scenarios. A key component of the rockfill dam overtopping system is the rockfill ...
    • Riprap Protection Exposed to Overtopping Phenomena: A Review of Laboratory Experimental Models 

      Dezert, Theo; Kiplesund, Geir Helge; Sigtryggsdottir, Fjola Gudrun (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      There are increasing demands from dam safety regulations and guidelines to upgrade the rockfill dams, especially in Norway where over 180 large rockfill dams are present. To protect the hydraulic structure against overtopping ...
    • Typeeksempler på ombygging av dammer i små nedbørfelt for flomdemping 

      Kiplesund, Geir Helge; Strokkenes, Stig Arne; Johnsborg, Hilde Bruheim; Osen, Randi; Thomassen, Gaute (Research report, 2018)
      Foreliggende rapport er et FoU‐prosjekt for NVE om muligheter for ombygging av eksisterende dammer i små vassdrag for flomdemping. Hensikten er å se nærmere på hypotesen om at dammer etter ombygging, og primært med ...
