Assessing soil index parameters to determine the frost susceptibility of crushed rock aggregates

Loranger, Benoit; Doré, Guy; Hoff, Inge; Scibilia, Elena (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)

In Norway, crushed rock aggregates are widely used in all layers of pavement infrastructures. Frost heave severely affected the Norwegian road network during cold winters of 2009/10 and 2010/11, including newly built roads. ...

Barriers and opportunities towards monitoring and asset management of EU transport infrastructure

Scibilia, Elena; Hoff, Inge; De Urquia, Miguel A.; Bigaj-van Vliet, Agnieszka (Journal article, 2023)

Recent technological developments have clear potential to support paradigm shift from corrective maintenance towards risk-based/predictive maintenance through data-informed decision-making. The most promising developments ...

Establishment of Intrinsic Permeability of Coarse Open-Graded Materials: Review and Analysis of Existing Data from Natural Air Convection Tests

Rieksts, Karlis; Hoff, Inge; Scibilia, Elena; Côté, Jean (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)

This paper presents a review and analysis of large-scale air convection tests and the establishment of intrinsic permeability in coarse open-graded materials. Natural air convection can make a significant contribution to ...

The Forecast of the Temperature Regime of a Northern Railway Embankment in Tundra Near Hanovey Station

Kotov, Pavel; Isaev, Vladislav; Ospennikov, N.V.; Scibilia, Elena (Journal article, 2022)

This article presents the results of field study near a Northern Railway embankment (Hanovey station) in a field work area of the Geocryology Department (Moscow State University), where we performed cone penetration tests, ...

Formation and growth of multiple, distinct ice lenses in frost heave

Gao, Hao; Ghoreishian Amiri, Seyed Ali; Kjelstrup, Signe; Grimstad, Gustav; Loranger, Benoit; Scibilia, Elena (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)

This paper presents a fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) modelwhich simulates frost heave in fully saturated soils. The model is able tosimulate the formation and growth of multiple distinct ice lenses. The ...

Frost protection of roads

Stolpestad, Sisselsdotter Siri (Master thesis, 2020)

Telehiv er forskyvelsen av jordoverflate som forårsakes av dannelsen av islinser i bære - og forsterkningslagene. Når frosten når telefarlig undergrunn vil vann bli sugd opp nedenfra ved hjelp av kapillært poresug gjennom ...

Heat Transfer Characteristics of Crushed Rock and Lightweight Aggregate Materials

Rieksts, Karlis (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2018:228, Doctoral thesis, 2018)

Over the last decades there has been a major transition to using crushed rock materials for road and railway construction instead of natural materials such as sand or gravel. In addition, it is common practice to use very ...

Infiltration Response of Adsorbent Amended Filters for Stormwater Management under Freezing/Thawing Conditions

Monrabal-Martinez, Carlos; Scibilia, Elena; Maus, Sønke; Muthanna, Tone Merete (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)

Coastal cold climates experience frequent intermittent melting and freezing periods over the cold period. This intermittent freezing in stormwater systems affects the infiltration capacity and hence the performance. This ...

Laboratory investigation of frost susceptibility of crushed rock aggregates and field assessment of frost heave and frost depth

Loranger, Benoit (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:335, Doctoral thesis, 2020)

In Nordic countries that experience seasonal frost, understanding how it affects the service life of linear transport infrastructures such as roads and railways is essential. Frost action both regroup frost heave and thaw ...
