Competitive Dialogue in Norwegian Public Infrastructure Projects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Competitive dialogue (CD) is a relatively new procurement procedure introduced in 2004 by the European Parliament for particularly complex contracts. The Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NPRA) has limited experience ... -
Competitive Dialogue – experiences with the award criteria
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The Competitive Dialogue (CD) is a procurement procedure that was introduced in Norway in 2007. The procedure enables the client to have a dialogue phase with pre-qualified contractors before awarding the contract. When ... -
Competitive Negotiated Procedure: Experiences From Rv. 555 the Sotra Connection
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)To reduce the number of conflicts in their projects, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration has implemented procurement procedures which allow dialogue and negotiation before the signing of contracts. One of these ... -
Competitiveness of train and airport express bus between the city of Trondheim and Trondheim Airport, Værnes
(Master thesis, 2016)In order to develop a better transportation corridor between city of Trondheim and town of Steinkjer in Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway a number of infrastructure investments are going to be made. Among them a double track ... -
Complex eigenvalue analysis and parameters analysis to investigate the formation of railhead corrugation in sharp curves
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Rail corrugation, a quasi-sinusoidal irregularity of the rail head, is a common issue experienced throughout the railway networks worldwide. It generally leads to high wheel-rail dynamic loads, increased noise emission, ... -
Complex geometry handling for a cartesian grid based solver
(Chapter, 2017)Complex geometries can be a challenge for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solvers that use a Cartesian mesh. In the current paper, an algorithm is described with which complex geometry features can be incorporated in a ... -
Composite breakwater with circular caissons
(Master thesis, 2010)A new breakwater design, consisting of a high rubble foundation with concrete cylinders in two rows placed on tophas been proposed for an extensive port development project.In this report, different types of breakwaters ... -
Compression and swelling of cohesionless soils with organic content
(Master thesis, 2023)Nesten 9% av Norge er dekket av torvmaterialer. Antallet ingeniørprosjekter innenfor områder med torv er økende ettersom ressursutvikling og infrastrukturutbygging fortsetter å vokse i Norge. Å forutsi setninger og ... -

Computational Fluid Dynamics Investigations of Breaking Focused Wave-Induced Loads on a Monopile and the Effect of Breaker Location
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The design of new offshore structures requires the calculation of the wave-induced loads. In this regard, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methodology has shown to be a reliable tool, in the case of breaking waves ... -
Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations of Nonlinear Sloshing in a Rotating Rectangular Tank Using the Level Set Method
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)In this paper, numerical simulations of nonlinear sloshing in rectangular tanks are presented. Model implementations in the open source software reef3d are tested, and the results are compared with experimental data from ... -
Computer-aided optimization of an offshore jacket for a wind turbine with a simplified load model
(Master thesis, 2015)In this report the jacket structure of a 5MW reference offshore wind turbine has been explored in terms of structural redundancy and for optimisation of the node locations. This has been done by the creation and utilisation ... -
The Concept of Nano Insulation Materials - Challenges, Opportunities, and Experimental Investigations
(Chapter, 2022)The world of today is experiencing an ever-increasing interest and focus on material scarcity and abundancy, energy efficiency and renewable and non-polluting energy harvesting. The main driving force of this increasing ... -
Conceptual Design of a Stall-Regulated Rotor for a Deepwater Offshore Wind Turbine
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2011:191, Doctoral thesis, 2011)A family of stall-regulated wind turbine blades was designed, with a rotor diameter from 44 m to 154 m, and rated power from 1.2 MW to 22.6 MW. These blades were optimized for installation atop a deepwater oating platform, ... -
Conceptual design of intelligent platform for non-invasive thermal discomfort detection
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Harsh climate conditions, events of over-heating and over-cooling created a gap between envisioned indoor environment and actual performance of the buildings. This paper suggests a potential development of the study which ... -
Concrete Dams Constructed on Soil Materials
(Master thesis, 2015)Rock may not always be encountered at economical depth to have foundation dam on it. It is a typical situation in Nepal where several meters deep alluvium is expected before reaching competent rock. Several dams have been ... -
