Developing an AI-powered smart insole system to reduce the possibility of back pain among older workers: lessons from the Norwegian construction industry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Blue-collar workers are generally more susceptible to specific health conditions such as musculoskeletal disorders, among which back pain is a significant problem for older workers. This study presents the design of a smart ... -
Developing and testing an experimental methodology to study behavior and operation metrics
(Master thesis, 2019)Regjeringen introduserte i 2012 et mål om at "all vekst i persontransport skal tas med gående, sykling og kollektivtransport". Dette har i ettertid blitt kjent som Nullvekstmålet. Imidlertid har andelen turer gjennomført ... -
Developing approaches and strategies to promote increased active mobility in urban city neighbourhood
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)With the world's population expanding quickly, cities must deal with problems such as traffic jams, air pollution, car accidents, and urban sprawl. Walking and cycling are non-motorized modes of transport that require ... -
Developing low-conductance window frames: Capabilities and limitations of current window heat transfer design tools - State-of-the-art review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008)While window frames typically represent 20—30% of the overall window area, their impact on the total window heat transfer rates may be much larger. This effect is even greater in low-conductance (highly insulating) windows ... -
Developing sustainable energy efficient buildings – a transnational knowledge transfer experience between Norway and Kosovo
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The present study investigates the knowledge transfer (KT) processes from Norwegian University of Science and Technology to College ESLG in Kosovo. An inter-organisational knowledge of transfer theoretical framework from ... -
Developing the Public-privatepeople- partnership Model for Building Energy Refurbishment in Norway
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:332, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Building energy refurbishment reduces energy consumption by increasing energy efficiency through technical installations. The potential for saving energy is huge, as the building sector accounts for 40% of the total global ... -
Development and Evaluation of an Effective Stress Based Model for Soft Clays
(Master thesis, 2015)The term, natural soft clay, is commonly used to describe a normal or slightly overconsolidated clay. This soil type may be encountered in e.g. Scandinavia, Eastern Canada and South East Asia. The mechanical response of ... -
Development and Implementation of Effective Stress Soil Models
(Master thesis, 2014)Soil exhibit complex behavior that require advanced models to recreate stiffness and strength during loading. The complex behavior may be due to preconsolidation, dilation and contraction, softening, anisotropy, stress ... -
Development and Investigation of New Materials and Technologies for Utilization in Zero Emission Buildings
(Chapter, 2018)The demand for zero emission buildings (ZEB) and energy-producing buildings is increasing along with the growing focus on material resource abundance and scarcity, energy efficiency, renewable and non-polluting energy ... -
Development and validation of a finite element software facilitating large-displacement aeroelastic analysis of wind turbines
(Master thesis, 2012)This thesis establishes necessary theory for the geometrically nonlinear dynamic analysis of spatial beam structures by the corotational formulation of finite el- ements. By extending an existing framework that is capable ... -
Development of a Framework for the Investigation of Speed, Power and Kinematic Patterns in Para Cross-Country Sit-Skiing: A Case Study of an LW12 Athlete
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Objective: To develop a framework for the investigation of speed, power, and kinematic patterns across varying terrain in cross-country (XC) sit-skiing, and to test this framework in a XC sit-skier of the LW12 class during ... -
Development of a Laboratory Abrasive Wear Test for Snowplow Cutter Blades
(Master thesis, 2021)Prediksjon av slitasje som forekommer på slitestål montert på brøytebiler under snørydding gjøres per dags dato ved å måle mengden stål som slites bort mens brøytebilen er i drift. Eksisterende forskning har prøvd å ... -
Development of a method for suspended sediment transport monitoring by means of ADCP measurements
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Monitoring stations in rivers and water courses are an important mean to obtain critical data about the different variables that play a role in the hydrodynamics and ecological processes. Measuring suspended sediment ... -
Development of a model and risk assessment for 1D steady seepage and transient contaminant advection-diffusion coupled process
(Master thesis, 2022)Cutoff walls are extensively applied as seepage and contaminant leakage obstruction structures. However, stochastic defects can exist within cutoff walls due to randomness in the construction of cutoff walls and faciliate ... -
Development of a Model for Radon Concentration in Indoor Air
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)A model is developed for calculation of the radon concentration in indoor air. The model takes into account various important parameters, e.g. radon concentration in ground, radon diffusion resistance of radon barrier, air ... -
Development of a new standard for evaluation of sustainable refurbishment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Abstract Purpose – Increasing focus on sustainability, in general, climate change impact, circular economy and a substantial need for CO2 footprint reduction within the construction industry, requires new knowledge and ... -
Development of a New Thermally Insulating and Structural Green Concrete for Lean Constructions
(Chapter, 2016)A new class of thermally insulating, structural concrete was designed and developed in-house. This was carried out by the fusion of current concrete/ mortar technology with aerogel granulates in an effort to produce a lean ... -
