Finds documents with exactly this word group, in exactly this word order and spelling (e.g. "employer branding").
Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Abstract

The chapter delves into the critical role of full-scale field testing in the planning and design of large transport infrastructure projects. It discusses the complexities of geotechnical engineering in challenging terrains, such as those found in Norway, and how full-scale testing provides valuable insights into soil-structure interactions. The chapter presents case studies from the Ringeriksbanen and E16 joint project and the E6 Kvithammar-Åsen project, illustrating how full-scale field testing can lead to substantial cost savings and optimized design solutions. By capturing natural variability and external factors, these tests offer unique opportunities to assess new foundation solutions and validate laboratory and numerical model results. The chapter also highlights the potential risks and challenges associated with full-scale testing, such as high costs and uncertainties, but emphasizes that the benefits, including reduced risks and improved design accuracy, outweigh the drawbacks. The experiences from Norway serve as compelling examples of the practical applications and advantages of full-scale field testing in the transportation sector.
