• Risk-based Fatigue Design Considering Inspections and Maintenance 

      Mendoza Espinosa, Jorge; Kohler, Jochen; Bismut, Elizabeth; Straub, Daniel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The different phases of a structure’s life-cycle are managed by different teams with little interaction. Correspondingly, the optimization of the individual phases is isolated and does not necessarily result in optimal ...
    • Statistical Validation of Rigid Body Rocking Response Models Against Experimental and Numerical Data 

      Strand, Mathias (Master thesis, 2017)
      Slender, free-standing structures subjected to ground motions, may substantially decrease the seismic moment and shear at the base by uplifting and rocking motion. However, the rocking motion response is sensitive to all ...
    • Structural performance of parallel wires 

      Østen, Trond; Slungård, Fredrik Øiahals (Master thesis, 2015)
      Many of the cable bridges in Norway, and Europe are in general nearing their estimated lifespan. Due to the sheer number of bridges, it is not possible to rebuild or redesign all of these. However, many are still in good ...
    • The Influence of Grading on the Reliability of Timber Structures 

      Lindseth, Ola Bakken (Master thesis, 2015)
      In the present thesis, the influence of grading on the reliability of timber structures is analyzed. The thesis develops necessary expressions and explains methods for performing this type of analysis, and presents an ...
    • Value of information of in-situ inspections of mooring lines 

      Mendoza Espinosa, Jorge; Paglia, Jacopo; Eidsvik, Jo; Kohler, Jochen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Mooring systems that are used to secure position keeping of floating offshore oil and gas facilities are subject to deterioration processes, such as pitting corrosion and fatigue crack growth. Past investigations show that ...
