Performance Assessment of Safety-instrumented Systems Subject to Cascading Failures in High-demand Mode
(Chapter, 2019)Safety-instrumented systems are designed to act upon hazardous events and reinforce safety. IEC 61508 specifies two possible reliability measures of safety-instrumented systems: the average probability of failure on demand ... -
Performance assessment of the semi-distributed hydrological model HYPE for central Norway
(Master thesis, 2017)Norway s water authorities need a comprehensive tool to generate hydrological infor- mation for all water bodies to implement the European water framework directive. The precipitation-runoff model HYPE was developed by the ... -
Performance based modelling of long-term deterioration to support rehabilitation and investment decisions in drinking water distribution systems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Managing the urban drinking water system in the long term in order to maintain system performance can be challenging due to the difficulty of modelling future deterioration of the networks. This paper establishes a methodology ... -
Performance Characterization of Warm-Mix Asphalt Containing High Reclaimed-Asphalt Pavement with Bio-Oil Rejuvenator
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Warm-mix asphalt (WMA) technology and recycling of asphalt pavement, i.e., reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), have been becoming more popular in recent years due to their economic and environmental benefits. Similarly, ... -
Performance evaluation of a combined stormwater detention and reuse system - A case study from Trondheim, Norway
(Master thesis, 2021)Urbanisering og klimaendringer forårsaker utfordringer med overvann slik som høyere avrenningingsvolum og avrenningstopp. Ferskvann er i tillegg en begrenset ressurs mange steder på kloden. Derfor har det i urbane strøk ... -
Performance Evaluation of Hybrid Fibers and Nano-zeolite Modified Asphalt Micro-surfacing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Micro-surfacing is a cationic mixture for reparation and maintenance of asphalt pavement and contains polymer-modified bitumen emulsion, 100 % manufactured well-graded fine aggregate, mineral filler, water, and chemical ... -
Performance Information Risk Management System: benefits and challenges observed among pilotprojects in Norway
(Master thesis, 2022)Direktoratet for forvaltning og økonomistyring (DFØ) har anbefalt Best Value Procurement (BVP) for å øke profesjonalitet og effektivitet i offentlige anskaffelser. Siden 2016, har BVP vært pilotert i over 20 prosjekter i ... -
Performance Measurement for Infrastructure Project Sustainability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)From a lean construction perspective, the role of a Public Roads Administration is to identify the value from the client’s point of view and define the processes able to develop the value stream. In the long-run strategy, ... -
Performance of a one-dimensional hydraulic model for the calculation of stranding areas in hydropeaking rivers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Fish stranding is a critical issue in rivers with peaking operations. The ability to accurately predict potential stranding areas can become a decisive factor to assess environmental impacts and to plan mitigation measures. ... -
Performance of a Prefabricated Vertical Drain System
(Master thesis, 2019)The project site in Nardo is underlain by a thick sequence of soft clays. An evaluation of site investigation data alongside a thorough review of the site history has produced a strong geological and geotechnical model. ... -
Performance of A Two-Dimensional Hydraulic Model for the Evaluation of Stranding Areas and Characterization of Rapid Fluctuations in Hydropeaking Rivers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Extreme, short-duration fluctuations caused by hydropeaking occurs when hydropower is regulated to cover demand peaks in the electricity market. Such rapid dewatering processes may have a high impact on the downstream ... -
Performance of a two-dimensional hydraulic model for the evaluation of stranding areas and characterization of rapid fluctuations in hydropeaking rivers - Storåne, Hallingdal
(Master thesis, 2018)Extreme, short-duration fluctuations caused by hydropeaking occurs when hydropower is used to cover peaks for electrical loading conditions of the power network. Such a rapid dewatering processes may have a high impact for ... -
Performance of Blue-Green Roofs in Cold Climates: A Scoping Review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Green and blue-green roofs are emerging as an increasingly popular feature of rooftops, particularly in urban areas. Particular problematic conditions render their usage complex in the Nordic countries. In order to ensure ... -
Performance of Building Integrated Photovoltaics with respect to Architectural Integration and Geographical Location
(Master thesis, 2017)Currently, we are living in a world where any human activity and any process linked to it, needs energy. From the technology up to daily life, across research and primary needs. To support this necessity of energy the world ... -
Performance of closed particle removal systems for treatment of road runoff
