    • Dimensjonering av peler i permafrost 

      Ramsvik, Caroline; Bozkurt, Ida Chatrine Rangul (Bachelor thesis, 2021)
      Vår bacheloroppgave handler om å undersøke ulike typer fundamentering i arktiske forhold. På Svalbard finnes det permafrost helt ned til 450 m enkelte plasser. På grunn av dette kan man ikke fundamentere på samme måte som ...
    • Estimation of the full-field dynamic response of a floating bridge using Kalman-type filtering algorithms 

      Petersen, Øyvind Wiig; Øiseth, Ole; Nord, Torodd Skjerve; Lourens, Eliz-Mari (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Numerical predictions of the dynamic response of complex structures are often uncertain due to uncertainties inherited from the assumed load effects. Inverse methods can estimate the true dynamic response of a structure ...
