Best Value Procurement (BVP) in a Mega Infrastructure Project
(Chapter, 2018)The Norwegian Government recently established a new public company called New Roads with the aim to create more value for money within road investment. To meet government expectations, New Roads has started to use Best ... -
BIM-based cost estimation in a road project–proof of concept and practice
(Chapter, 2021)Digital transformation can improve productivity and reduce uncertainty in AEC projects. BIM-based workflows play an important role in this transformation. The IFC format has emerged as exchange standard in road projects ... -
Breaking Focused Waves Generated Using the Transient Wave Packet Method and the Breaking Impact Forces on a Vertical Cylinder
(Chapter, 2019)The presence of vital offshore infrastructure in deeper waters makes it essential to be able to evaluate the properties of steepness-induced breaking waves. An extreme wave event in deep water can be modelled with a transient ... -
BROUGHT BY DEGREES: A FOCUS ON THE CURRENT INDICATORS OF LEAN ‘SMARTNESS’ IN SMART CITIES
(Chapter, 2021)The purpose of this paper is to look at the indicators to which a city can be considered to be a smart city based upon the degree it meets specific indicators within the categories of ‘Social Smartness’, ‘Technological ... -
Building system data integration using semantic
(Chapter, 2023)In recent decades the construction industry started a rapid digitalisation process resulting in the widely used BIM methodology. Despite developing multiple Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) schemas, the interoperability ... -
A CFD Approach for Modelling the Fluid-Structure Interaction of Offshore Aquaculture Cages and Waves
(Chapter, 2021)Open ocean aquaculture cages became recently a promising alternative to traditional fish cage designs. The offshore environment implies larger loads on the structures and higher risk of fish loss. Floating rigid aquaculture ... -
CFD modelling of irregular and focused waves using wave reconstruction
(Chapter, 2017)The real sea state is composed of the focused and steep irregular waves which makes their study very important in the design of offshore wind turbines. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) can be used as an effective tool ... -
CFD Simulations of Multi-Directional Irregular Wave Interaction With a Large Cylinder
(Chapter, 2018)Ocean waves are random by nature and can be regarded as a superposition of a finite number of regular waves travelling in different directions with different frequencies and phases. Cylinder-shaped objects are commonly ... -
Combined distribution of ice thickness and speed based on local measurements at the Norströmsgrund lighthouse 2000-2003
(Chapter, 2020)Abstract: Fatigue caused by ice-induced vibrations (IIV) is an important design consideration for offshore structures exposed to drifting sea ice. The occurrence of IIV is promoted by, but not limited to, certain combinations ... -
Common approaches to find the energy saving potentials for the Norwegian residential buildings: a review study
(Chapter, 2021)Building sector is shown as a huge energy consumer worldwide. Therefore, a thorough understanding of energy performance in buildings is essential to propose and implement sustainable strategies for the future plans; and ... -
Comparing a fracture mechanics model to the SN-curve approach for jacket-supported offshore wind turbines: challenges and opportunities for lifetime prediction
(Chapter, 2016)Accurate lifetime predictions are needed for support structures of offshore wind turbines to optimize operation and maintenance and to decide about lifetime extension of aging wind farms. A comparison of a facture mechanics ... -
Comparison of in-situ measurements from the Norströmsgrund lighthouse to Copernicus reanalysis products
(Chapter, 2020)Here, we aim to extend the full-scale data measurements of ice conditions and the resulting structure behaviour at the Norströmsgrund lighthouse to other locations in the Baltic Sea via comparison to the met-ocean conditions ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Cost Overruns of Transportation Infrastructure Projects
(Chapter, 2021)What is a cost overrun of a transportation project? What problems does it cause? How should overruns be measured? How common and prevalent are overruns worldwide? What are the potential ways of avoiding overruns? These are ... -
