A phenomenological explanation of the pressure-area relationship for the indentation of ice: Two size effects in spherical indentation experiments
(Journal article, 2015)Indentation tests provide a simple means to study the inelastic behavior of ice and other materials when loaded under a compressive stress state. Such tests provide force–time plots which are often converted to pressure–area ... -
A pre-feasibility design and optimization tool, for small and micro scall run of rive hydropower in Norway
(Master thesis, 2020)The purpose of this thesis was to develop a pre-feasibility design and optimization tool for small and micro scale run of river plants in Norway. Direct simulation on the available runoff time series is utilized to estimate ... -
A procedure for the assessment of the undrained shear strength profile of soft clays
(Chapter, 2016)In the geotechnical research community, there is widespread agreement that the choice of the characteristic undrained shear strength (cuA) is very important and plays an essential role in the design and stability analysis ... -
A proposal of energy performance indicators for a reliable benchmark of swimming facilities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The main research question tackled in this work is which energy performance indicator should be used to benchmark energy usage in swimming facilities. After the design and administration of a survey, data from 43 Norwegian ... -
A qualitative assessment of performance monitoring systems acting as an automatic data collection system in the context of productivity measurements on excavator loading operations in construction.
(Master thesis, 2018)Purpose - There has been several developments in the research field of standalone solutions when collectingactivitylevel parameters required for calculating productivity. Progress has also been made on the topic ofautomatic ... -
A regionalisation technique for urban ungauged catchments - A case study from Norway
(Master thesis, 2017)Accurate estimation of rainfall-runoff in an urban area is essential for flood disaster prevention and control. A Storm Water Management Model was therefore applied to four small urban catchments in Damsgård, Bergen, Norway. ... -
A review and comparison of floating offshore wind turbine model experiments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Floating off shore wind turbines provide more access to deeper water than conventional fixed bottom wind turbines, which expands the viable area for wind energy development, reduces visibility from shore, and can potentially ... -
A review of indices for assessing visual comfort with a view to their use in optimization processes to support building integrated design
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)In the last decades, several studies aimed at assessing some specified aspects of visual comfort characterizing the relationship between the human needs and the light environment, such as an available amount of light, ... -
