Review of the relationship between aggregates geology and Los Angeles and micro-Deval tests
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Rock aggregates constitute the enormous volume of inert construction material used around the globe. The petrologic description as igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic types establishes the intrinsic formation pattern of ... -
Surpassing the Limits to Human Cognition? On the Level of Detail in the Norwegian Building Design Guide
(Journal article, 2021)The SINTEF Building Research Design Guides are a series of Norwegian building technical recommendations. The design guides are highly reputed and widely used in the Norwegian construction sector, serving as a link between ... -
3D numerical modelling of scour around a jacket structure with dynamic free surface capturing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This paper presents a numerical investigation of local scour with dynamic free surface capturing around a jacket structure. The hydrodynamics and resulting scour are calculated using the open-source CFD model REEF3D. The ... -
Flushing of Stagnant Premise Water Systems after the COVID-19 Shutdown Can Reduce Infection Risk by Legionella and Mycobacterium spp.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)There is concern about potential exposure to opportunistic pathogens when reopening buildings closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, water samples were collected before, during, and after flushing showers in ... -
Numerical Simulation of Wave Interaction with Submerged Porous Structures
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The study of wave interaction with porous structures is essential as coastal structures are often porous in nature because of their prominent energy dissipation characteristics. The present work is focused on the numerical ... -
A Lagrangian approach for the coupled simulation of fixed net structures in a Eulerian fluid model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)A Lagrangian approach for the coupled numerical simulation of fixed net structures and fluid flow is derived. The model is based on solving the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations in a Eulerian fluid domain. The ... -
Modeling porous coastal structures using a level set method based VRANS-solver on staggered grids
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Several engineering problems in the field of coastal and offshore engineering involve flow interaction with porous structures such as breakwaters, sediment screens, and scour protection devices. In this paper, the interaction ... -
Elucidating the role of tetraethylammonium in the silicate condensation reaction from Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The understanding of the formation of silicate oligomers in the initial stage of zeolite synthesis is important. The use of organic structure-directing agents (OSDAs) is known to be a key factor in the formation of different ... -
Fuel characterization and thermal degradation kinetics of biomass from phytoremediation plants
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Biomass obtained from phytoremediation energy crops Miscanthus x giganteus and Sida hermaphrodita planted on different soils contaminated with heavy metals was thermogravimetrically studied and kinetically analyzed, assuming ... -
Hydropower‐driven thermal changes, biological responses and mitigating measures in northern river systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Water temperatures control life histories and diversity of aquatic species. Hydropower regulation, particularly in high head systems, alters natural water temperature regimes, which may have profound and long-term impacts ... -
The next generation of smart citizens: Experiences and inspiration from the +CityxChange project
(Chapter, 2020)Environmental sustainability has become a core objective in policy fields related to the built environment, from the international to local level. The transition to a sustainable built environment depends on increasing the ... -

Prosjektering i samspillprosjekt - Med fokus på hindringer i utviklingsfasen
(Master thesis, 2020)Sammendrag I mange land er det økende interesse for å fremme samarbeidsrelasjoner ved bruk av samspillskontrakter, såkalt relasjonell kontrakt. Bruken av samspill i prosjekt øker stadig i den norske byggebransjen. I den ... -
A framework for classification of snow- and icephobicity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)For decades, there has been no proper thermodynamic definition of icephobicity. Some claim icephobic properties at an adhesion lower than 100 kPa, whereas others claim it when the accretion of ice is significantly prolonged. ... -
