A Laboratory Study of Salt Diffusion and its Effect on Electrical Resistivity and Sensitivity in Quick Clay
Øveraas, Astrid Thorvik (Master thesis, 2016)Resistivity measurements as a geophysical method have become increasingly popular as a supplement to geotechnical field investigations over the last years. The main use for this method is to uncover the possibility of quick ... -
A macro model for shallow foundations on granular soils describing non-linear foundation behavior
Tistel, Joar; Grimstad, Gustav; Eiksund, Gudmund Reidar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)This paper describes a macro model for a shallow foundation. The macro model represents the non-linear soil structure interaction (SSI) exemplified by a suspension bridge anchor-block. The model can be adjusted and used ... -

A macro-element model for multidirectional cyclic lateral loading of monopiles in clay
Page, Ana M.; Grimstad, Gustav; Eiksund, Gudmund Reidar; Jostad, Hans Petter (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This paper investigates numerically the impact of multidirectional cyclic loads on the response of a monopile in clay supporting an offshore wind turbine (OWT). The results indicate that multidirectional loading modifies ... -
A macro-element pile foundation model for integrated analyses of monopilebased offshore wind turbines
Page, Ana M.; Grimstad, Gustav; Eiksund, Gudmund Reidar; Jostad, Hans Petter (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The design of OWTs relies on integrated load analyses tools that simulate the response of the entire OWT (including the rotor-nacelle assembly, support structure and foundation) under combined aerodynamic and hydrodynamic ... -
A numerical investigation of strain-softening in soft clay for a modelled shear vane
Henneseid, Olav (Master thesis, 2018)The strain-softening phenomenon has been extensively studied the last decades in context of numerical modelling and progressive failure mechanism. In this study, a vane is modelled in soft clay with a negative dilatancy. ... -
An anisotropic shear strength model for cyclic accumulated plastic strain of overconsolidated clay
Cai, Fang; Eiksund, Gudmund Reidar; Grimstad, Gustav; Jostad, Hans Petter (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Many geotechnical problems involve calculation of the permanent deformation of overconsolidated clay under undrained cyclic loading. There are many existing methods in the literature which have been made for predicting ... -
An Effective Stress Based Model for Undrained Slope Stability Analyses in Anisotropic Clay
Aamodt, Magnus Træland (Master thesis, 2019)Direkte skjærtester (DSS) utført på naturlig myk leire indikerer at skjærstyrken vil øke dersom leiren konsolideres under en skjærspenning (Andersen, 2009). Formålet med denne studien er å avgjøre om anisotrop skjærstyrke ... -
An elastic-viscoplastic model for saturated frozen soils
Ghoreishian Amiri, Seyed Ali; Grimstad, Gustav; Kadivar, Mehdi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)From the material science point of view, saturated frozen soil is a natural particulate composite, composed of solid grains, ice and unfrozen water. The mechanical behaviour of such a material is strongly affected by the ... -
An experimental study of thermal properties and the influence on the ground thermal regime in permafrost soil
Eiken, Idun (Master thesis, 2019)Jord er et porøst materiale som består av mineralkorn og porer som er fylt med luft og vann. Frossen jord har høy trykkstyrke og høy bæreevne. Infrastruktur som er etablert i områder med permafrost er avhengig av styrken ... -
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, ... -
Application of a generalized continuous Mohr–Coulomb criterion
Grimstad, Gustav; Rønningen, Jon Abusland; Nordal, Steinar (Chapter, 2018)This paper presents an application of a generalized failure criterion for soils. The presented formulation was originally adopted by the authors to round the corners of the Mohr–Coulomb (MC) yield surface in principals ... -
Behaviour of 60-year-old trial embankments on peat
Long, Michael; Paniagua Lopez, Ana Priscilla; Grimstad, Gustav; Sponås, Egil Berg Antoniazzi; Bjertness, Endre; Ritter, Stefan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The search for low cost solutions for roads on peatlands inspired the construction of four full scale trial embankments at two sites in Norway in the early 1960's. The embankments are still accessible and this work was ... -
