A comparative analysis of international guidelines for green infrastructure performance assessment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Natural or semi-natural elements, referred to by various terms such as green infrastructure (GI), are increasingly adopted as a win-win solution to develop water-wise, climate-resilient, and sustainable societies. Accordingly, ... -
Comparative evaluation of performances of different conceptualisations of distributed HBV runoff response routines for prediction of hourly streamflow in boreal mountainous catchments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Unidentifiability and equifinality of parameters pose challenges to calibration and prediction by conceptual precipitation-runoff models. Evaluation of prediction performances of parametrical parsimonious and more complex ... -
Comparative Life Cycle Analysis of Timber, Steel and Reinforced Concrete Portal Frames: A Theoretical Study on a Norwegian Industrial Building
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The construction industry is a big contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, which has a negative environmental impact. Several studies have highlighted the possibility of using timber to reduce the environmental impact of ... -
Comparative study of indirect tensile test and uniaxial compression test on asphalt mixtures: Dynamic modulus and stress-strain state
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Dynamic modulus is an essential parameter for the performance characterisation of asphalt materials for performance prediction and pavement design. The Indirect Tensile (IDT) test and the Uniaxial Compression (UC) test are ... -
A Comparative Study of Soft Computing Models for Prediction of Permeability Coefficient of Soil
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Determination of the permeability coefficient (K) of soil is considered as one of the essential steps to assess infiltration, runoff, groundwater, and drainage in the design process of the construction projects. In this ... -
Comparative study of thermal-oxidative aging and salt solution aging on bitumen performance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021) -
Comparing a fracture mechanics model to the SN-curve approach for jacket-supported offshore wind turbines: challenges and opportunities for lifetime prediction
(Chapter, 2016)Accurate lifetime predictions are needed for support structures of offshore wind turbines to optimize operation and maintenance and to decide about lifetime extension of aging wind farms. A comparison of a facture mechanics ... -
Comparing Canadian and Norwegian moisture indices for building climate adaptation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)To evaluate the suitability of materials and solutions in building envelopes, it is necessary to quantify the relevant climate loads. The critical climate load is typically a combination of multiple parameters, such as ... -
Comparing experimentally measured runoff coefficients with field observations for detention-based roofs
(Master thesis, 2018)Predicted climate changes combined with urbanization increases the performance demand on urban stormwater management structures. The rational method with the runoff coefficient (C) is one of the most commonly used design ... -
Comparing flood cost estimations with varying levels of detail
(Master thesis, 2021)Abstrakt I denne artikkelen, ble det foreslått en metode for estimering av flomskader for vurdering av flodrisiko i Drammen -bassenget ved å bruke en hydraulisk modell, GIS og Excel -basert flomtapsestimeringsmodell. For ... -

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022) -
Comparing laboratory and field stabilised clay
(Master thesis, 2021)I denne masteroppgaven om kalksementstabilisering ble prepareringsmetodene for prøveinnblandinger av kalksementstabilisert leire testet og sammenlignet opp mot feltstabilisert materiale. Referansematerialet var leire ... -
Comparing three approaches to estimating optimum white water kayak flows in Western Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: Modern water management strategies aim to assess the impact of water regulation alternatives on all relevant ecosystem services, including white water (WW) recreation. Therefore it is important to estimate the ... -
Comparison between the Green and the Red LiDAR terrain models in flood inundation estimations
(Master thesis, 2021)LiDAR data has revolutionized the availability of digital elevation models, basis to generate flood inundations. Red LiDAR is the common methodology for scanning terrain, but for hydraulic applications, it cannot penetrate ... -
Comparison between Topographic and Bathymetric LiDAR Terrain Models in Flood Inundation Estimations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Remotely sensed LiDAR data has allowed for more accurate flood map generation through hydraulic simulations. Topographic and bathymetric LiDARs are the two types of LiDAR used, of which the former cannot penetrate water ... -
Comparison of 16 national methods in the life cycle assessment of carbon storage in wood products in a reference building
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Wood and bio-based construction products are perceived as a way to use renewable resources, to save energy and to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG)-emissions during production and to store carbon during the entire service life ... -
