Ongoing Projects

RFF – HIGELIG - High resolution Geophysical mapping of the quick clays in Gjerdrum

The main objective of the project is to develop a fast-to-operate, effective and non-intrusive geophysical approach for characterization of the areas which are susceptible to presence of quick clays.

NGI-GBV – Quantification of 3D effects on slope stability in QC terrain

It is a common practice to perform a 2D LEM (limit equilibrium method) or 2D FEM back-analyses to access safety factor (SF) of failed slopes.

NGI-GBV – Coupled failure and runout modelling

There is today no reliable approach to model the complete process, including initiation and run-out, of landslides in sensitive clays, both on land and offshore.

Multi-band and machine learning approaches for emerging InSAR applications

This project has tested to what extent digital terrain models generated from freely available SAR data (L- and C-band) are applicable for the quantification of erosion in quick clay areas.

NGI-GBV – Reconsolidation of remoulded quick clay

After the occurrence of quick clay landslides, mitigation measures to improve slope stability may be considered. The implementation of measures is often time critical in (quick) clay, but the measures require time to take effect.
