Model Testing of the Drainage Screen Type Debris Flow Breaker
(Master thesis, 2016)Debris flows are a hazardous geological phenomenon occurring in mountainous terrain. In Norway the National Public Roads Administration has registered around 1060 debris flows since the 1970's. The damages caused by a ... -
Modelling Seasonal Stability of Shallow Glacial Till on Steep Rock Slopes in Southeast Norway via Finite Element Analysis - A Case Study
(Master thesis, 2018)One of the most common geohazards in the mountainous regions of Norway are debris slides in shallow glacial till horizons overlying steep valley slopes of various bedrock. The predictions pro-duced by the established ... -
Monopile foundations - Effect of scour protection on eigenfrequency of offshore wind turbines
(Master thesis, 2017)Monopile foundations is the most popular foundation type for offshore wind turbines, with over 80 % of the substructures being monopile foundations. When placed in a marine environment monopiles is prone to scour around ... -
Numerical Modelling of Debris Flow Hazards using Computational Fluid Dynamics
(Master thesis, 2018)Debris flows are a natural hazard phenomenon that occur periodically in steep mountainous terrain and are typically triggered by heavy precipitation events. The flows are a highly mobile poorly graded mass of soil, rock, ... -
Numerical Study of Soil Nailing Technique - Empirical, classical limit equilibrium and 2D-3D FEM applications
(Master thesis, 2016)Literature review was conducted on the state-of-the art and the state-of-the practice of the soil nailing technique. The literature review focused on design analysis and constructional aspects of the soil nailing technique ... -
Physical Modeling of Debris Flow by Varying Sediment Concentration
(Master thesis, 2017)Debris flow is the natural hazard occurring in the mountainous topography. The geography of Norway mostly consists of sloppy terrain with higher steepness. The country receives heavy rainfall every year which is in fact ... -
Possible ways to improve infrastructure project governance on front-end and planning phase. - Case study S-7 Koszwaly-Nowy Dwór Gdanski highway project in Poland
(Master thesis, 2016)This thesis is about the project governance scheme in the Polish road sector. It is based on the case study of the project of the expressway S-7 realized in northern Poland. The aim of this research was to present Polish ... -
Prøveforstyrrelse: effekt av lagring på siltig leire fra Skien
(Master thesis, 2016)Kontroll på elementer som fører til påvirkning av egenskaper til jordprøver er viktig innen geoteknikk. De fleste geotekniske beregninger og vurderinger baserer seg på parametere fra laboratorieundersøkelser utført på ... -
Reconsolidation of Clay Pre-strained in Shear Mode
(Master thesis, 2015)Through the past years unexpectedly large settlements of the existing structures have been registered as a result of geotechnical site works, and especially, due to the boring and installation of steel core piles. One of ... -
Reliability-based design optimization with Cross-Entropy method
(Master thesis, 2015)Implementation of the Cross-entropy (CE) method to solve reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) problems was investigated. The emphasis of this implementation method was to solve independently both the reliability ... -
Sammenligningsstudie av laboratorieundersøkelse fra E6 Klett
(Master thesis, 2015)Statens Vegvesen skal oppgradere E6 sør for Trondheim fra to til fire felt over en distanse på 8,2km. Geotekniske undersøkelser ble utført for å skaffe viktig informasjon om grunnen. For å få best mulig resultater er det ... -
Shear Creep in Sensitive Clays
(Master thesis, 2015)Stability of natural clay slopes subjected to environmental changes is today under close investigation in Norway. This is stimulated by the NIFS project (Natural Hazards, Infrastructure, Flow and Slides), a cooperation ... -
Soil Stiffness Parameters for Finite Element Simulation
(Master thesis, 2015)Numerical analyses are widely used in practical geotechnical engineering to assess the deformation behaviour of deep excavations, in particular when the influence on existing infrastructure, such as buildings or adjacent ... -
Stability charts revisited using FEM
(Master thesis, 2015)The finite element method is a modern computer aided method developed in recent decades of years. While widely used Janbu stability charts theory is invented by hand calculation in 1954. The aim of this mater thesis is to ... -
Static Stiffness of Monopile Foundations Embedded in Nonhomogeneous Elastic Soil
(Master thesis, 2018)Monopiles are the main foundation type for offshore wind turbines. The number of wind farms around the world is increasing rapidly which leads to more demanding design methods. Until now the use of p-y curves was the main ... -
Suction Anchor Penetration - Estimating Penetration Resistance Based on CPT Sleeve Friction
(Master thesis, 2017)Oil and gas are number one commodity when it comes to transportation and energy, and with increasing worldwide demand for oil the need to utilise deeper offshore oilfield are of the essence. Great depths present challenges ...
