Undrained soft soil modelling with the Material Point Method
(Master thesis, 2011)For modelling of large deformation problems the Finite Element Method (FEM)is not suitable due to distortion of elements. The Material Point Method(MPM), adopting principles from computational fluid dynamics, is a relatively ... -
Unethical and Criminal – Predicting “Dark Side” Phenomena in the AEC Industry
(Chapter, 2023)This paper outlines prediction of “dark side” (illegal or unethical) phenomena in the AEC industry. “Dark side” phenomena pose a substantial yet unexplored threat to Lean Construction practices. Insights from criminology ... -
Unified bounding surface model for monotonic and cyclic behaviour of clay and sand
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)This paper presents a constitutive model enabled to simulate monotonic and cyclic behaviour of clay and sand in a unified framework. The bounding surface concept has been utilized to predict a smooth transition from elastic ... -
Universell utforming - økt tilgjengelighet ved etterinstallering av heis: - sikret gjennom god samhandling og kommunal skjønnsutøvelse
(Master thesis, 2014)Store deler av Norges bygningsmasse er ikke tilgjengelig for alle fordi det eksisterer få boligblokker og bygårder med heis. For å øke tilgjengeligheten og bruksverdien til den eksisterende boligbebyggelsen, er etterinstallering ... -
Universell utforming og evakuering ved brann: Evakueringsheiser
(Master thesis, 2013)Oppgaven vil ta utgangspunkt i en boligblokk med krav om heis, fordi problematikken knyttet til evakuering kommer lettere til syne i bygg med flere etasjer og mange beboere. Det er av stor interesse å undersøke hvilke ... -
Universell utforming og Vinterdrift: Et målesystem for gangareal
(Master thesis, 2013)Myndighetene har som mål å bygge universelt utformede reisekjeder. For at reisekjedene skal beholde sin tiltenkte funksjon hele året, må de holde en høy standard også om vinteren. Denne masteroppgaven utvikler et målesystem ... -
Unsaturated Soil Mechanics in a Norwegian Perspective
(Master thesis, 2020)Denne oppgaven utforsker infiltrasjonkarakteristikker i umettet jord. Hovedforskjellen mellom mettet og umettet jord er at luft og vann er tilstede samtidig i porevolumene i sistnevnte. Overflatespenningene mellom luft og ... -
Untangling the Concepts of Value and Values
(Chapter, 2023)The concept of value is widely used in lean construction (LC) literature, but researchers and practitioners lack a common understanding of the term. This is partially due to confusion between value (singular) and values ... -
Up-Front Assessment and Quality Assurance of Major Investment Projects
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2010:114, Doctoral thesis, 2010)The work reported in this thesis comprises an exploration of the up-front assessment and quality assurance of major investment projects. It was conducted by investigating a sequence of projects planned and executed under ... -
Up-Front Governance of Major Public Investment Projects
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2019:236, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Traditionally, project success has been interpreted in a narrow, operational sense, concerning the question of How to implement the project. More recently, the need to take a wider tactical and strategic view has been ... -
Updated OCTAS geoid in the northern North Atlantic - OCTAS07
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008)A new gravimetric geoid (OCTAS07v2) is generated using Stokes’ formula with gravity data as input. As local gravity data, a combination of land gravity data, new and old airborne gravity data, and adjusted marine gravity ... -
Upgrading of a Typical Norwegian Existing Wooden House According to the EnerPHit Standard
(Chapter, 2019)The building sector has a key role to play in implementing the EU energy efficiency objectives. Around 40% of the energy consumption and a third of CO2 emissions comes from buildings. With the adoption of Nearly Zero Energy ... -
Upgrading of Hydropower Plants to Pumped Storage Plants: Tunnel System Hydraulics
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:352, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Energy storage is needed to enable the transition from fossil to renewable electrical energy sources. As wind and solar power are unregulated and volatile, energy storage is necessary. Pumped hydro can deliver both short- ... -
Upgrading of Roskrepp hydropower plant to a pumped storage plant: Necessary reconstruction of the surge tank.
(Master thesis, 2018)The scope of this thesis is to build a 1D numerical model of a hydraulic powerplant, transform it to simulate the upgrade of the powerplant into a pumped storage system, establish the issues that would emerge from it in ... -
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 ... -

Upstream-Cylinder and Downstream-Cylinder Influence on the Hydrodynamics of a Four-Cylinder Group
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The wave interaction at low Keulegan-Carpenter numbers with a group of four large cylinders arranged in the form of a square with one diagonal along the direction of wave propagation is studied with a focus on the ... -
Urban drainage models for green areas: Structural differences and their effects on simulated runoff
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Mathematical stormwater models are often used as tools for planning and analysing urban drainage systems. However, the inherent uncertainties of the models must be properly understood in order to make optimal use of them. ... -
Urban Facilities Management in Smart Cities
(Book, 2019)Facilities managers have the skills to work within a top down strategic level and link to a bottom-up operational levelwithin an organization. This type of approach to managing services and facilities is lacking within a ... -
