Floe Ice – Sloping Structure Interactions
(Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2014:324, Doctoral thesis, 2014)Several interaction processes can be identified during floe ice - sloping structure interactions. However, fierce processes around the waterline are the most conspicuous phenomena. These violent processes feature ice ... -
Force and response estimation on bottom-founded structures prone to ice-induced vibrations
(Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2015:217, Doctoral thesis, 2015)Various types of bottom-founded structures, including lighthouses, quay structures, mono-pod platforms, multi-legged platforms, caisson-retained islands and bridges, are located in ice-infested waters. Level ice can ... -
Framing Urban Water
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2022:119, Doctoral thesis, 2022)In recent decades, Western societies have been experiencing accelerated growth in diversity, connectivity, complexity, and uncertainty. In the urban water sector, this evolution has thus far manifested in the emergence of ... -
Front-End Project Governance: Choice of Project Concept and Decision-Making– An International Perspective
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2013:249, Doctoral thesis, 2013)The demand for new investment projects is increasing; however, the preparation of a large number of those projects has had practical problems and the relevant systems and processes have been criticized. According to recent ... -
The Future of Green Infrastructure: From climate data to informed hydrological performance
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2023:224, Doctoral thesis, 2023)The 21st century presents numerous challenges to urban stormwater management, including the impacts of changes in both climate and city morphology. These challenges necessitate rethinking the stormwater management paradigm, ... -
Geometrisk modellering av veger i 3D
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2, Doctoral thesis, 2002)There will always be a need for road engineers to have access to suitable applications in order to execute road constructions. An application has to be both flexible and efficient, while at the same time describing the ... -
Geovisualization, Geometric Modelling and Displacement Analysis- Applications to Rockslide Investigations
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2010:203, Doctoral thesis, 2010)This thesis addresses different aspects of spatial data handling in connection with investigations of large rockslides. As such, most of the research was carried out in a cross disciplinary and highly applied context. The ... -
Governance of Major Public Investment Projects: In Pursuit of Relevance and Sustainability
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2010:15, Doctoral thesis, 2010) -
Groundwater Level Monitoring across Iran’s Main Water Basins Using Temporal Satellite Gravity Solutions and Well Data
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:377, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Water is an essential resource for life on the earth; no life can exist without water. During recent decades, because of growth in population and technologies, demands for water resources have been increasing. Due to ... -
Hard Rock Tunnel Boring: Performance Predictions and Cutter Life Assessments
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2016:350, Doctoral thesis, 2016)The use of hard rock tunnel boring machines (TBMs) has become widely and generally used with success but in too many cases, due to unanticipated situations and/or inappropriate assessments, with catastrophic consequences. ... -
Heat Transfer Characteristics of Crushed Rock and Lightweight Aggregate Materials
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2018:228, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Over the last decades there has been a major transition to using crushed rock materials for road and railway construction instead of natural materials such as sand or gravel. In addition, it is common practice to use very ... -
Heavy Vehicle Following Behavior: The Effect of Vehicle Properties, Road Characteristics and Environmental Factors on Vehicular Interactions
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2016:371, Doctoral thesis, 2016)This thesis describes a series of studies made in the field of modelling heavy vehicle behavior. The main goal of the thesis was to investigate how car-following behavior of heavy vehicles differs from that of cars, how ... -
High-Resolution CFD Modelling of Scour in the Marine Environment
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2018:371, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Marine structures are vulnerable to scour under extreme weather conditions. Wave interaction with the structures leads to sediment transport locally. This results in the formation of scour holes which can affect the ... -
Hoar frost formation on a salted road surface
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:239, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Hoar frost formation may lead to slippery driving conditions during late autumn and winter time. Hoar frost formation occurs when humidity in the air deposits directly as ice on the cold road surface. To avoid slippery ... -
How do fixed links affect household and firm location

How wear affects road surface texture and its impact on tire/road noise
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2017:113, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Mechanical pavement wear in the Nordic countries is essentially influenced by the use of studded tires during long winter seasons. The abrasive effect of the studded tires is the cause of significant damage on the pavement ... -
Hydraulic and structural evaluation of rockfill dam behavior when exposed to throughflow and overtopping scenarios
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:227, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Dams are vulnerable to extreme flood events in turn leading to accidental overtopping. This inparticular applies to rockfill dams comprised of pervious and erodible material. Obtaining better understanding of behavior of ... -
Hydrodynamic rainfall-runoff modelling for flash floods in small and steep catchments
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2024:261, Doctoral thesis, 2024)Global warming and climate change lead to more frequent and extreme weather events. These include sudden and intense rainfall and rising temperatures which cause flash floods. In steep terrains, flash floods with high-flow ... -
Hydrologic and metal removal potential of filtering swales for stormwater control in cold climates
