Characteristics and Profile Asymmetry Properties of Waves Breaking over an Impermeable Submerged Reef
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)In the present study, a 3D two-phase flow CFD model that solves the unsteady, incompressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes equations has been used to simulate breaking waves over an impermeable submerged reef. The level ... -
Characteristics of breaking irregular wave forces on a monopile
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The substructures of offshore wind turbines are subjected to extreme breaking irregular wave forces. The present study is focused on investigating breaking irregular wave forces on a monopile using a computational fluid ... -
Characteristics of failure mass and safety factor during rainfall of an unsaturated slope
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Water is an important factor triggering destabilization of soil masses in slopes, particular in unsaturated condition. Rainfall and snow melting are some of the main sources of natural water which frequently induce unsaturated ... -
Characteristics of VOCs generated during production and construction of an asphalt pavement
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) generated during asphalt pavement production and construction have negative impacts on both asphalt workers’ health and atmospheric ecosystem. The characteristics of asphalt VOCs have ... -

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Benchmarking is of significant importance in geological and geotechnical engineering, for testing and verifying innovative soil investigation methods and foundation solutions. This Special Issue aims to present detailed ... -
Characterization and temporal variation of urban runoff in a cold climate - design implications for SuDS
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This paper characterizes stormwater runoff in a coastal cold climate urban area regarding metal fractionation and particle size distribution to understand the implications for sustainable urban drainage system (SuDS) design. ... -
Characterization of photocatalytic materials used for water treatment
(Master thesis, 2015)As the pressure on water bodies throughout the world is increasing, good water quality obtained through water treatment is essential to secure health and welfare of the population. Many chemical compounds used in industry ... -
Characterization of wave slamming forces for a truss structure within the framework of the WaveSlam project
(Master thesis, 2014)The foundations of offshore wind turbines in shallow water are predominantly truss structures which are exposed to wave slamming forces. In these situations the design of the structure is governed by high and rapid impacts ... -
Charging electric vehicles on long trips and the willingness to pay to reduce waiting for charging. Stated preference survey in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Technological developments in charging speed and battery capacity are leading to an increased use of electric vehicles (EV) for long trips, but the charging infrastructure network is too scarce to satisfy the growing energy ... -
Charring rates of heavy timber structures for Fire Safety Design: A study of the charring rates under various fire exposures andthe influencing factors
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2010:128, Doctoral thesis, 2010)This thesis presents research on the charring rate of large structural members of timber and the material properties and external factors that influence on the charring of these members. The most commonly used temperature-time ... -
Chemical Frost Protection of Road Surfaces: A Laboratory Investigation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Anti-icing chemicals are commonly used to protect against hoar frost formation on roadways and bridges. Because of their negative impact on both environment and infrastructure, their use should be optimized. During conditions ... -
