Consolidation and Stress History in Shallow Sediments in the Northern North Sea
(Master thesis, 2023)Mange internasjonale prosjekter har tatt sikte på å fremme innovasjoner og løsninger for å redusere de globale klimagassutslippene. Blant disse er SHARP som sikter på å redusere risikoene knyttet til karbonlagring i den ... -
Consolidation of fresh ice ridges for different scales
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This study characterizes the refreezing process of deformed ice. Twenty laboratory experiments in ice ridge consolidation were conducted to study the influence of ridge blocks size, initial temperature, and top surface ... -
Consolidation Settlement of Suction Caissons
(Master thesis, 2012)Consolidation settlement analysis is an essential part of the design process for suction caissons. However it is a complex task since soil volume important for settlement analyses is directly affected by the installation ... -
Constitutive Model for Long-Term Behavior of Saturated Frozen Soil
(Chapter, 2017)In this paper a two stress-state variables model with solid phase stress and cryogenic suction is introduced for simulating the long-term behavior of frozen soils. The solid phase stress is introduced as the combined stress ... -
Construction cost performance under quality-gated framework: the cases of Norwegian road constructions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Cost increase during the planning phase of major infrastructure projects is a crucial challenge which is typical in construction management. This research aims to provide a better understanding of the cost development of ... -
Construction Management of Randselva bridge - Assessment between two construction methods: cantilever concrete and steel-box method.
(Master thesis, 2015)Purpose of the master thesis is to perform a construction and cost analysis of two proposed solutions for the Randselva bridge on E16 roadway. Project data is based on information data given from Statens Vegvesen , Trondheim ... -
Construction of a Functional 1:5 Scaled Ballasted Railway Track for Laboratory Testing
(Master thesis, 2023)Det vil bli laget et funksjonelt skalert jernbanespor for laboratorieeksperimentering ved NTNU fra januar til juni 2023. Sporet vil bli plassert i laboratoriet til instituttet for bygg- og miljøteknikk. Målet med denne ... -
Contested Urban Green Space Development: Rolling Back the Frontiers of Sustainability in Trondheim, Norway
(Chapter, 2022)Ongoing urban densification in Nordic regions raises sustainability trade-offs related to compactness, land use and urban green space. In Norway, green spaces comprising both natural and agricultural areas are highly valued ... -
Continuously loaded oedometer - creep parameters from CRS-testing with variation in strain rate
(Master thesis, 2009) -
Convective moisture transfer coefficients for porous building material surfaces - Theory, wind tunnel design and measurements
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2011:66, Doctoral thesis, 2011) -
Core-shell-typed Ag@SiO2 Nanoparticles as Solar Selective Coating Materials
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Silver (Ag) nanoparticles with typical diameter of about 50 nm have been prepared via a polyol process. The as-prepared Ag nanoparticles are well crystallized and exhibit a characteristic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) ... -
Correction factors for undrained LE analyses of sensitive clays
(Chapter, 2017)Correction factors to be used in conventional undrained stability calculations in order to account for post peak strain softening behaviour of sensitive clays, has been recommended based on an extensive sensitivity study ... -
Corrective and Preventive Action Plan (CAPA) for Disputes in Construction Projects: A Norwegian Perspective
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The consensus in the Norwegian construction industry is that the projects are characterized by conflicts. Because unresolved disputes that reach courts take time and resources to be solved, this leads to lost productivity ... -
Correlation Analysis of Multipath Effects in GPS-Code and Carrier Phase Observations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010)Multipath error is a limiting factor for successful ambiguity resolution in precise real-time kinematic GPS positioning, both in the carrier phase and pseudorange measurements. Understanding the temporal characteristics ... -
Correlation between SPT and CPT
(Master thesis, 2014)The objectives of this thesis are to introduce and describe SPT, CPT methods and the correlation between them. Moreover, it is explained how the correlation between SPT and CPT is reliable and what kinds of studies are ... -
Correlation of Properties in Geotechnical Engineering - The impact of Index parameters on Mechanical Properties of Soil
(Master thesis, 2018)In order to effectively use the mechanical parameters of a soil as a tool in soil mechanics, insight about basic properties is necessary. Index properties of soil, such as the water content and the plasticity index influence ... -
Cost and time overrun in road construction : Magnitude, Causes and Cost Estimating Models
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2011:207, Doctoral thesis, 2011)This study investigates the cost and time overrun in road construction projects in the West Bank in Palestine. The magnitude and causes of cost and time overrun are studied and recommendations to enhance the performance ... -
Cost effectiveness of higher thermal resistance in commercial buildings
(Master thesis, 2014)Using energy simulation software this report studies a typical Norwegian commercial buildings thermal energy loss. The buildings energy use is simulated and analyzed using SIMIEN, for four levels of thermal resistance in ... -
Cost Escalation in Road Construction Contracts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This paper presents a study of cost escalation in unit price road construction contracts. The aim is to investigate why the final cost of contracts differs from the agreed contract cost following tendering, both to identify ... -
Cost escalations in the front-end of projects – empirical evidence from Norwegian road projects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)This paper investigates an issue largely ignored in the transport literature on cost overruns, namely, cost increases in the early project phase, long before the decision to build is made. This is the phase of project ...
