Uncertainty analysis in a large-scale water quality integrated catchment modelling study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Receiving water quality simulation in highly urbanised areas requires the integration of several processes occurring at different space-time scales. These integrated catchment models deliver results with a significant ... -
Uncertainty assessments of structural loading due to frst year ice based on the ISO standard by using Monte-Carlo simulation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Sea ice is the major source of loading for structural design in cold regions. The intrinsic properties of sea ice are generally associated with high degrees of uncertainty due to ice growth taking place during different ... -
Uncertainty in CCTV sewer inspection data - a case study from Trondheim, Norway
(Master thesis, 2020)Avløpssystemet er en kritisk infrastruktur som benytter kamerainspeksjoner (CCTV) til å samle data som brukes til å foreta beslutninger om rehabiliterings- og utskiftningsstrategier som utgjør betydelige kostnader. Dataene ... -
Uncertainty management of projects from the owners’ perspective, with main focus on managing delivered functionality
(Journal article, 2014)Purpose This paper aims to report on the work on a doctoral thesis studying uncertainty management of projects. The thesis was in particular studying uncertainty regarding the functionality that the project should deliver. ... -
Uncertainty quantification in the ice-induced local damage assessment of a hull section
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)For the northernmost ocean regions, where the ice is occasionally present, one must design a robust structure that can withstand rare ice events (i.e., a glacial ice impact). Despite existing engineering practice is well ... -
Unconsolidated ice rubble modelling with continuum approach
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2017:173, Doctoral thesis, 2017)In ice-infested waters and in the absence of icebergs, ice ridges are responsible for the highest quasi-static loads on offshore structures. The main body of an ice ridge is located below the waterline. This submerged part ... -
Underentreprenørers oppfatning av seriøsitetsarbeidet i BAE-næringen
(Master thesis, 2018)BAE-næringen er en kompleks bransje preget av arbeidskriminalitet. Underentreprenører som arbeider innenfor loven sliter i et marked hvor useriøse aktører oppnår konkurransefortrinn som følge av ulovlig og uetiske midler. ... -
Understanding bicycle ridership: Bicycle parking in central areas and by public transport stations
(Master thesis, 2021)Nullvekstmålet ble lagt til grunn av Stortinget i Klimaforliket i 2012, og er en av de viktigste tyringsdokumentene for planlegging av transport i Norge. Her er det bestemt at all økning av persontransport skal skje ved ... -
Understanding local ownership - Early phase in aid and development projects
(Master thesis, 2018)The issue of the master thesis takes base in the Kakuma project - a collaborative project between NTNU School of Entrepreneurship and the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), where an Entrepreneurship HUB will be built in ... -
Understanding skepticism of smartphones in travel behavior research: A qualitative approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Travel behavior research is increasingly reliant on data collected from smartphones. However, recruitment is challenging in app-based travel surveys, which can cause data quality issues, such as non-response bias and ... -
Understanding structure/function relationships in nitrifying microbial communities after cross-transfer between freshwater and seawater
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In this study, nitrification before and after abrupt cross-transfer in salinity was investigated in two moving bed biofilm reactors inoculated with nitrifying cultures that had adaptation to freshwater (FR) and seawater ... -
Understanding the effect of assumptions on shell plate thickness for arctic ships
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)The presence of ice requires specially constructed ships. The biggest challenge in this aspect is ice loads on ship’s hull: processes of deformation and fracture of ice are not fully understood and ice geometry and mechanical ... -
Understanding the Emergence of Policies - Revising Building Regulations in Light of the Three Pillars of Sustainability
(Master thesis, 2015)The building regulations for the Norwegian construction industry (TEK10) undergo a major revision in 2015. The regulations have been subject for major critique, both in public media and by building specialists, often because ... -
Understanding the governance of urban water services from an institutional logics perspective
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In recent decades, the urban water sector has experienced accelerating social complexity that derives from conflicting goals and beliefs, making the sustainability of the sector primarily a governance issue. However, ... -
Undersøke presisjon og effektivitet av Ground Penetrating Radar for å definere hulrom i asfaltdekket
(Master thesis, 2018)Ground Penetrating Radar, GPR, blir benyttet til kvalitetskontroll av hulrom i asfaltdekker, både i Sverige og Finland. Det er her blitt akseptert som en relativt god måte å vise variasjonene i hulrom i dekkets lengderetning. ... -
Undersøkelse av materialegenskapene til lettklinker og skumglass fra eksisterende veifyllinger og nye materialer
(Master thesis, 2017)Lettklinker og skumglass brukes i flere veiprosjekter som lette fyllmasser. På grunn av krav til veikonstruksjonens bestandighet er det viktig å vite om materialegenskapene er tilfredsstillende i eksisterende veifyllinger. ... -
