A numerical geotechnical model for computing soil slides at banks of water reservoirs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Soil slides can occur when the water level in a lake or a reservoir is lowered. This may take place in situations when a reservoir is flushed to remove sediments. The current study describes a three-dimensional numerical ... -
Risikostyring av kvalitetskostnader
(Master thesis, 2022)Kvalitetsavvik utgjør en betydelig andel av kostnader i byggeprosjekter. Likevel legges det i liten grad vekt på kvalitetsavvik og tilhørende kostnader i endringsarbeider. Det faktiske omfanget av kvalitetskostnader viser ... -
A Hybrid Method to Incrementally Extract Road Networks Using Spatio-Temporal Trajectory Data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)With the rapid development of urban traffic, accurate and up-to-date road maps are in crucial demand for daily human life and urban traffic control. Recently, with the emergence of crowdsourced mapping, a surge in academic ... -

The plate spacing of sea ice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Columnar sea ice grows with an interface of tiny parallel ice plates, the distance of which is known as plate spacing. While it has been proposed as a fundamental microstructure scale of sea ice, the physics behind its ... -
Towards Circumpolar Mapping of Arctic Settlements and Infrastructure Based on Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Infrastructure expands rapidly in the Arctic due to industrial development. At the same time, climate change impacts are pronounced in the Arctic. Ground temperatures are, for example, increasing as well as coastal erosion. ... -
A Grid-Based Approach for Measuring Similarities of Taxi Trajectories
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Similarity measurement is one of the key tasks in spatial data analysis. It has a great impact on applications i.e., position prediction, mining and analysis of social behavior pattern. Existing methods mainly focus on the ... -
Aging Mechanism and Rejuvenating Possibility of SBS Copolymers in Asphalt Binders
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The styrene–butadiene–styrene (SBS)-modified asphalt pavement has been in growing demand in the road construction field owing to its workable mechanical property and temperature durability. This paper prepared a penetrative ... -
Coverage degrees of colloids on electrochemical electrodes and signal amplification for anti-citrullinated peptide antibody detection
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been used to increase the power of electrochemical biosensors. However, densities and pattern distributions of AuNPs colloids have not been determined yet. In this report, we attempt identifying ... -
Investigation on Flooding-Resistant Performance of Integral Abutment and Jointless Bridge
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Bridge washouts connected to flood events are deemed one of the main reasons for structural collapse. Compared to traditional continuous jointed bridges, integral abutment and jointless bridges (IAJBs) have better lateral ... -
Risk assessment for areas prone to flooding and subsidence: A case study from Bergen, Western Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Bergen city centre is prone to both subsidence and flooding. With a predicted increase in precipitation due to climate change, a higher proportion of rainfall becomes surface runoff, which results in increased peak flood ... -
Temporal downscaling of precipitation time-series projections to forecast green roofs future detention performance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)A strategy to simulate rainfall by the means of different Multiplicative random Cascades (MRC) was developed to evaluate their applicability to produce inputs for green roof infrastructures models taking into account climate ... -
Physical oceanographic conditions and a sensitivity study on meltwater runoff in a West Greenland fjord: Kangerlussuaq
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In this paper, we discuss the first setup of a hydrodynamic model for the fjord-type estuary Kangerlussuaq, located in West Greenland. Having such a high-fidelity numerical model is important because it allows us to fill ... -
Route Guidance Strategies for Electric Vehicles by Considering Stochastic Charging Demands in a Time-Varying Road Network
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Electric vehicles (EVs) are being increasingly adopted because of global concerns about petroleum dependence and greenhouse gas emissions. However, their limited driving range results in increased charging demands with a ... -
Upgrading the Smartness of Retrofitting Packages Towards Energy-Efficient Residential Buildings in Cold Climate Countries: Two Case Studies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings by implementing building automation control strategies (BACS) besides building envelope and energy system retrofitting has been recommended by the Energy Performance ... -
Anvendelse av Last Planner System ved fremdriftsplanlegging - Knyttet til gjenomføring av renoveringsprosjekter
(Master thesis, 2022)Å benytte seg av eksisterende bygg i form av ombygging og bygningsrenovering har den siste tiden fått økende oppmerksomhet. Det vil være et fremtidig behov for å redusere energiforbruket til eksisterende bygg, eksempelvis ... -
Physical model study on discharge over a dam due to landslide generatedwaves
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Impulse waves generated by landslides falling into reservoirs may lead to overtopping of a dam and, in turn, to flooding of the downstream area. In the case of an embankment dam, the overtopping may lead to erosion of the ... -
Geotechnical characterization of Halsen-Stjørdal silt, Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The evaluation of geotechnical parameters for design problems in silty soils is complicated due to partially drained conditions and irregular soil structure, including small layers and pockets of both coarser and finer ... -
Steric sea level changes from ENVISAT and GRACE in the Nordic Seas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Steric sea level changes are estimated over the Nordic Seas using ENVISAT (Environmental Satellite) altimetry and GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) gravity data. We have used altimetry data from the ENVISAT ... -
Correlation Analysis of Multipath Effects in GPS-Code and Carrier Phase Observations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010)Multipath error is a limiting factor for successful ambiguity resolution in precise real-time kinematic GPS positioning, both in the carrier phase and pseudorange measurements. Understanding the temporal characteristics ...
