Determining Benefit - Understanding Buildings as Production System Assets
(Chapter, 2018)Maximizing the client value delivered from construction projects is to large degree a matter of maximizing the benefit in use of the built asset. To do so, we must be able to accurately assess the benefits of a proposed ... -
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 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 ... -
A direct forcing immersed boundary method for simulating floating objects
(Chapter, 2022)For ship and offshore applications, the fluid-floating object interaction is of particular importance and accurate numerical calculations are required. However, low-order accurate methods are not sufficient to have decent ... -
Dynamics of Debris Flow: Reproducible Initial and Boundary Conditions in Scaled Laboratory Experiments to Determine Velocity Distributions
(Chapter, 2019)Debris flows are rapid flows of water, sediments and debris, which can pose a danger to life and infrastructure. Reducing the risk by implementing protections and countermeasures requires a comprehensive understanding of ... -
Effect of Emerged Coastal Vegetation on Wave Attenuation Using Open Source CFD Tool: REEF3D
(Chapter, 2019)Coastal vegetation is a soft solution for protecting the coast from the action of waves by attenuating the wave height and reducing the energy of the waves. Effect of wave height attenuation as a result of the presence of ... -
Effect of piezocone penetration rate on the classification of Norweian silt
(Chapter, 2018)Interpretation of Cone Penetration Tests (CPTU) in intermediate soils is complex due to partially drained conditions during penetration. In order to gain more insight into the material behavior of silt during a CPTU, an ... -
Effect of strain softening behaviours on run-out distance of a sensitive clay landslide
(Chapter, 2017)Reliable prediction of landslide triggering threshold and landslide run-out distance is essential for hazard risk assessment. The paper focuses on studying slides in sensitive clays, which represent a major geohazard in ... -
Effect of the scatter between CPTU measured parameters in soil classification
(Chapter, 2022)Using piezocones from different manufacturers may yield different results even if the equipment complies with international standards. This causes problems when soil investigation contractors, using different cones, operate ... -
Effective Stress based Model for Natural Soft Clays incorporating Restructuration
(Chapter, 2018)Several advanced constitutive models have been developed over the last decades to reproduce the mechanical response of natural soft clays observed during laboratory testing and in the field. Features such as anisotropy, ... -
Effects of Power Take-Off Damping and Model Scaling on the Hydrodynamic Performance of Oscillating Water Column Device
(Chapter, 2019)A systematic numerical investigation on the hydrodynamic performance of an oscillating water column (OWC) system for different damping values from the power take-off (PTO) device and at different model scales has been ... -
Effects of storage on 54 mm piston samples of soft sensitive clay
(Chapter, 2017)Effects of storage on low plasticity sensitive soft clay were studied by means of laboratory tests. The 54 mm fixed piston sampler was used, and the samples were stored in stainless steel tubes. When comparing the preliminary ... -
Efficient Calculation of Spatial and Temporal Evolution of Hydrodynamic Loads on Offshore Wind Substructures
(Chapter, 2021)Estimation of the hydrodynamic loads based on strip theory with the Morrison equation provides a fast and inexpensive method for load estimation for the offshore industry. The advantage of this approach is that it requires ... -
Efficient Wave Modeling Using Non-Hydrostatic Pressure Distribution and Free Surface Tracking on Fixed Grids
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2018)For the estimation of wave loads on offshore structures, relevant extreme wave events need to be identified. In order to achieve this, long term wave simulations of relatively large scales need to be performed. Computational ... -
Eliminating the Uncertainties in Hydraulic and Ice Loads on Berm Breakwaters
(Chapter, 2019)A model for the computation of failure probabilities for partly reshaping mass-armored berm breakwaters in the Arctic is presented. The model consists of a reliable tool for the design of port structures in the rapidly ... -
Embodied Energy Versus Building Height, The “Premium” of Building Tall
(Chapter, 2017)Smart and sustainable cities require a higher population density, and thus taller buildings. The general idea is that we can “invest” more into buildings, since we can “save” on transportation. But is there an optimal ... -
Empowering Citizens in a Smart City Project One Step at a Time: a Norwegian Case Study
(Chapter, 2021)Considering public participation as one of the key components of “smart cities”, efforts have been made by local governments to provide opportunities for citizens to take an active role in smart cities planning. This paper ... -
Engineering characterization of a leached marine clay using Sherbrooke block samples
(Chapter, 2016)A detailed characterization of the leached marine clay at Rissa, North-West of Trondheim in Norway, is presented. The site lies just a few hundred meters away from the location where the well-known Rissa slide occurred in ... -
