Articulating the new urban water paradigm
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Urban water systems in industrialized countries have underpinned unprecedented improvements in urban living standards through effective drinking water supply, sanitation and drainage. However, conventional urban water ... -
Asmara: Balancing Conservation and Development
(Master thesis, 2011)This master thesis is product of the work done during my last semester at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), spring 2011.The report is based on the preliminary work done during the fall semester ... -
Aspect of a Feasibility Study for Development of a Deep Water Hydrocarbon Field (in a case of strong offshore current)
(Master thesis, 2011)As demand for energy keeps increasing, the need to explore and develop oil and gas resources in challenging areas (such as in offshore deep water) is growing. It would be necessary to explore relevant field development ... -
Aspects of a Tilting Tower Test
(Master thesis, 2010)Many ancient towers are affected by stability problems. The main part of this thesis is physical modeling of tower. Model test is very appropriate for the stability assessment of tower foundations, which is related to: ... -
Aspects of triaxial testing and development of a learning system
(Master thesis, 2011)The triaxial test is designed to measure the effective shear strength of the selected soil sample or solid. Normally, the sample shear strength is derived from the obtained parameters of the soil samples tested. Triaxial ... -
Aspekter ved konflikt i byggenæringen - En casestudie av nye Deichmanske hovedbibliotek
(Master thesis, 2019)Sammendrag «Tvist» og «konflikt» er to begrep som ofte er benyttet i forbindelse med utfordringer på arbeidsplasser, og som trolig blir brukt mye om hverandre i byggenæringen. Konfliktnivået i næringen ansees å være ... -
Assess the effect of reservoirs in Sutlej river on high and low flow conditions in the lower parts of the basin
(Master thesis, 2023)In the south Asian countries of Pakistan, India and Tibet, a considerable portion of population is directly related to agriculture. Water is the essential element for both urban and rural use. In these areas reservoirs are ... -
Assessing and Mitigating Ice-Jam Flood Hazards and Risks: A European Perspective
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The assessment and mapping of riverine flood hazards and risks is recognized by many countries as an important tool for characterizing floods and developing flood management plans. Often, however, these management plans ... -
Assessing energy-smartness in smart cities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The massive urbanization process registered since 1950s and projected to continue for the coming decades is posing a crucial issue for the management of existing cities and the planning of future ones. Smart cities are ... -
Assessing macrophyte seasonal dynamics using dense time series of medium resolution satellite data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The improved spatial and temporal resolution of latest-generation Earth Observation missions, such as Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2, has increased the potential of remote sensing for mapping land surface phenology in inland ... -
Assessing Responsive Building Envelope Designs Through Robustness-Based Multi-Criteria Decision Making in Zero-Emission Buildings
(Journal article, 2022)Responsive building envelopes (RBEs) are central to developing sustainability strategies for zero emission/energy buildings (ZEBs). RBEs are a large group of complex technologies and systems, which is why multi-criteria ... -
Assessing Ridesharing´s Potential To Reduce Congestion During Commute
(Master thesis, 2018)In light of repeated traffic congestion during peak hour in combination with low car occupancy rates, an increasing interest in ridesharing has emerged. Ridesharing is defined as shared trips in a private car, between ... -
Assessing soil index parameters to determine the frost susceptibility of crushed rock aggregates
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In Norway, crushed rock aggregates are widely used in all layers of pavement infrastructures. Frost heave severely affected the Norwegian road network during cold winters of 2009/10 and 2010/11, including newly built roads. ... -
Assessing Stability of Coastal Bluffs Due to Combined Actions of Waves and Changing Ambient Temperatures in the Arctic
(Master thesis, 2017)The Arctic coastal zone is characterized by high erosion rates, which are on average 0,5 m/year but can reach up locally to 25 m/year and therefore endanger coastal infrastructure. Additionally, the global warming takes ... -
Assessing the effects of four SUDS scenarios on combined sewer overflows in Oslo, Norway: evaluating the low-impact development module of the mike urban model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Paved surfaces, increased precipitation intensities in addition to limited capacity in the sewer systems, cause a higher risk of combined sewer overflows (CSOs). Sustainable drainage systems (SUDS) offer an alternative ... -
Assessing the hydraulic performance of a combined sewer system under climate change using temporal downscaling
(Master thesis, 2018)In recent years, climate change has lead to an increasing number of high intensity rain events causing flooding in urban areas around the world. Studies of different future climate scenarios indicate that this increase ... -
