A Discrete Element Method Study of Shear Localisation in Granular Material
(Master thesis, 2020)En fleksibel grensebetingelse er implementert for simulerte trykktester i diskret elementmetode (DEM) programmet Yade. DEM simulerer individuelle partikler i et granulært materiale. Med enkle kontaktlover og fysikk på ... -
A flow path detection algorithm to improve leakage risk assessment through defective jet-grouted cut-off walls
(Master thesis, 2022)Jetpelevegger er en attraktiv løsning som en kunstig strømningsbarriere for å hindre uønsket strømning av grunnvann i situasjoner hvor tungt utstyr ikke kan anvendes. Sannsynligheten for ukontrollert strømning må begrenses ... -
A framework for assessing uncertainties in benefit cost analyses in the Norwegian road sector.
(Master thesis, 2015)Nowadays, every time there is a need of undertaking a project, different alternatives are considered. The differences between those alternatives can be related to technical or economical aspects, so in order to identify ... -
A high resolution flood forecasting tool and hydropower simulator
(Master thesis, 2014)Two hydrological models for two regions in central Norway using respectively observation inputs from stations and distributed inputs from a meteorological model where set up and calibrated to test their performances; ... -
A Laboratory Study of Salt Diffusion and its Effect on Electrical Resistivity and Sensitivity in Quick Clay
(Master thesis, 2016)Resistivity measurements as a geophysical method have become increasingly popular as a supplement to geotechnical field investigations over the last years. The main use for this method is to uncover the possibility of quick ... -
A laboratory study of the mechanical behavior of Tiller-Flotten quick clay
(Master thesis, 2023)Resultatene fra denne masteroppgaven supplementerer laboratoriedata og identifiserer kollaps- og fytekarakteristikk for kvikkleire fra Tiller-Flotten. Spesiell vekt er lagt for å undersøke og identifisere materialoppførsel ... -
A Laboratory Study on the Use of Non-Destructive Testing for Evaluation of the Strength and Deformation Properties of Stabilized Soil
(Master thesis, 2023)Prosessen med å stabilisere jord ved bruk av bindemidler er en vanlig brukt metode for å for- bedre styrke- og deformasjonsegenskapene til myke jordtyper i Norge. De vanlige metodene for å teste den oppnådde styrken i ... -

A Loudspeaker Element as a Passive or Active Resonance Absorber
(Master thesis, 2017)Absorbing low frequent sound is a challenge, but earlier studies, (Rivet, 2017), (R. Boulandet, 2014) and (Lissek et al., 2011), have shown that a loudspeaker can function well as an absorber with a broader frequency spectre ... -
A methodology for mapping vulnerability and hazard potential of temporary floodways
(Master thesis, 2020)«Det verste har enda ikke kommet» Flommer skyldes en rekke ulike årsaker og kan ta mange former. Verden over har stormflo og elver som går over sine bredder vært populære forskningsfelt, men de siste årene har de globale ... -
A new design for Elgeseter Street with focus on improving social aspects and walkability
(Master thesis, 2023)Den urbane utviklingen i Trondheim har satt i gang prosessen rundt oppgradering av byens hovedveier, der en av dem er Elgeseter Gate. Elgeseter-området er svært befolket ettersom mange har bosatt seg i området, i tillegg ... -
A numerical investigation of strain-softening in soft clay for a modelled shear vane
(Master thesis, 2018)The strain-softening phenomenon has been extensively studied the last decades in context of numerical modelling and progressive failure mechanism. In this study, a vane is modelled in soft clay with a negative dilatancy. ... -
A numerical investigation of thermal performance of coaxial steel geothermal energy piles in Norwegian cold-climate and soft ground conditions
(Master thesis, 2023)Geotermisk energi er en fornybar energikilde som kan utnyttes for oppvarming og avkjøling av bygninger gjennom geotermiske varmepumper. I de siste årene har det blitt populært å implementere geotermiske varmevekslere i ... -
A Numerical Simulation of Permafrost Thermal Regime under a Heat Pump Chilled Foundation in Longyearbyen, Svalbard
(Master thesis, 2021)Climate change in the Arctic causes a critical warming of the permanently frozen subsoil. The livelihood of over 3 million people is affected by the projected degradation of permafrost until 2050. The sustainable development ... -
A Numerical Study of a geosynthetic reinforced road embankment using nature-based basalt geogrid
(Master thesis, 2022)Sammendrag I geoteknikk er det utfordrende å bygge veier og andre konstruksjoner på naturlig myk jord. Deformasjonsvansker oppstår ofte på fyllinger og fører til kollaps. Resultater av dette er enten en betydelig setning ... -
A Parametric Study of Creep on EPS Geofoam Embankments
