Miljøspor fra menneskelige aktiviteter begynner å utgjøre mange problemer i vår nåværende verden. I mellomtiden kan sivilingeniør og spesifikt geoteknikk, som er ansvarlig for et bredt utvalg av menneskeskapte aktiviteter ...

Carbon-intensive binders such as cement are traditionally employed to stabilise peat. Few studies have investigated alternative materials such as biochar to improve peat stability while simultaneously sequestering carbon ...

Interpretation of Cone Penetration Tests (CPTU) in intermediate soils is complex due to partially drained conditions during penetration. In order to gain more insight into the material behavior of silt during a CPTU, an ...

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 ...

Evaluating undrained shear strength in clayey soils, especially soft sensitive clays in Finland, is crucial for several geotechnical engineering applications. In-situ investigation methods, including field vane and piezocone ...

Interpretation of remoulded shear strength in soft clays based on lab and/or in-situ traditional testing can be simple and challenging, depending on the adopted approach. A new approach that uses CPTU data in the calculation ...

In January 2019, a shallow marine landslide occurred at Verdal Port, Norway. This slope failure occurred during ongoing construction for port expansion. The initial geotechnical investigations were heavily reliant on CPTU ...
