Performance Measurement for Infrastructure Project Sustainability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)From a lean construction perspective, the role of a Public Roads Administration is to identify the value from the client’s point of view and define the processes able to develop the value stream. In the long-run strategy, ... -
Lessons from ex-post evaluation of government investment projects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Although public goods and services are increasingly delivered through projects, many studies have demonstrated that the success of projects in different sectors varies. In Norway, large government projects are subjected ... -
Cost and schedule performance in large government projects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)This paper uses data from 111 large government projects in Norway. We compare their final cost to the formal budget set by the parliament in their formal funding decision. We use standard statistical measures to illustrate ... -
Automatic Train Operation and Project Management: A Scoping Review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024) -
Federating cross-domain BIM-based knowledge graph
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Despite decades of the digitization of the construction industry, interoperability challenges prevail. One of which is the lack of sufficient integration between domain-specific BIM models. Therefore, the paper proposes a ... -
Competitive Negotiated Procedure: Experiences From Rv. 555 the Sotra Connection
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)To reduce the number of conflicts in their projects, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration has implemented procurement procedures which allow dialogue and negotiation before the signing of contracts. One of these ... -
Comparison of 16 national methods in the life cycle assessment of carbon storage in wood products in a reference building
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Wood and bio-based construction products are perceived as a way to use renewable resources, to save energy and to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG)-emissions during production and to store carbon during the entire service life ... -
Machine Learning and Computational Micromechanics Models for Multifunctional Cementitious Composites Reinforced by Graphene Derivatives: Mechanical and Functional properties
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2024:284, Doctoral thesis, 2024)Cementitious composites (CCs), which include cement paste, mortar, and concrete, are widely used around the world, second only to water. They are essential for sustainable construction due to their wide availability, ... -
Practical Experiences from Application of a Comprehensive Simulator for Pumped Storage Hydropower Investment Decisions on a Real Investment Case
(2024 20th International Conference on the European Energy Market (EEM);, Chapter, 2024)The future electricity system is expected to include a higher share of production from renewable energy sources. This will lead to increased price volatility and thus a higher demand for short-term balancing by hydropower ... -
Reducing cost overruns through data-driven methods used in uncertainty analyses
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)This article focuses on how data from completed projects can be applied to uncertainty analysis. Cost estimates and risk assessments in public construction projects rely on expert opinions and, by little extent, historical ... -
Urban Heritage Facility Management
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2024:313, Doctoral thesis, 2024)This dissertation explores and introduces the novel term Urban Heritage Facility Management (UHFM), which is defined as an urban-scale function that integrates the management of all the supporting services to the people, ... -
Time analysis of a Megaproject, how to verify the duration of the Construction Phase
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)This paper aims to give the reader a 4-step approach to verifying the construction phase of a Megaproject at an early stage. It allows the management team to identify potential bottlenecks and other factors that can delay ... -
Evaluating the generalizability and transferability of water distribution deterioration models
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Small utilities often lack the required amount of data to train machine learning-based models to predict pipe failures, and hence are unable to harness the possibilities and predictive power of machine learning. This study ... -
Arctic Freeboard and Snow Depth From Near-Coincident CryoSat-2 and ICESat-2 (CRYO2ICE) Observations: A First Examination of Winter Sea Ice During 2020–2022
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)In the summer of 2020, ESA changed the orbit of CryoSat-2 to align periodically with NASA's ICESat-2 mission, a campaign known as CRYO2ICE, which allows for near-coincident CryoSat-2 and ICESat-2 observations in space and ... -
A steel joint for driven precast concrete geothermal energy pile foundations
(Journal article, 2024)This invention describes a steel joint used for connecting two precast concrete driven energy pile (DEP) segments which is known as DEP joint. Precast concrete DEPs are cast in segments with a maximum length of 12 m at a ... -
Determining Moisture Content of Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Wooden load-bearing structures are becoming more common as an eco-friendly alternative to steel and concrete in large buildings. In these buildings, laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is increasingly used in structural building ... -
Quantification of climate change impact on rainfall-induced shallow landslide susceptibility: a case study in central Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Climate change impact on rainfall-induced landslide susceptibility of a certain region is often implied based on expected changes in rainfall patterns and rarely explicitly quantified. This study aims to address this gap ... -
Metrics to quantify the degree of co-location of urban water infrastructure
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Co-located infrastructure networks such as road, water, and sewer in theory offer the possibility for integrated multi-infrastructure interventions. However, how closely these networks are aligned in space and time determines ... -
Secondary Currents, Turbulence Characteristics, and Bed Shear Stress Variations in Supercritical Narrow Channel Flows
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2024:213, Doctoral thesis, 2024)Sediment bypass tunnels (SBTs) belong to the active sediment management strategies of combating reservoir sedimentation, which route high-speed sediment-laden flows around reservoirs and primarily experience supercritical ... -
Modelling ice using the River1D ice model
(Master thesis, 2024)Ice formation on rivers is a dynamic process that eventually leads to the complete and continuous ice cover with which the people of northern, and not-so northern regions of the globe are familiar. As water temperatures ...
