Air leakage paths in buildings: Typical locations and implications for the air change rate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The harsh Norwegian climate requires buildings designed to high standards. An airtight building envelope is crucial to achieve an energy efficient building and to avoid moisture problems. Results from the SINTEF Building ... -
Air pollution perception in ten countries during the COVID-19 pandemic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)As largely documented in the literature, the stark restrictions enforced worldwide in 2020 to curb the COVID-19 pandemic also curtailed the production of air pollutants to some extent. This study investigates the perception ... -
Air-Filled Nanopore Based High-Performance Thermal Insulation Materials
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)State-of-the-art thermal insulation solutions like vacuum insulation panels (VIP) and aerogels have low thermal conductivity, but their drawbacks may make them unable to be the thermal insulation solutions that will ... -
Airplane braking friction on dry snow, wet snow or slush contaminated runways
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Airplanes need tire-pavement friction during taxiing, take-off and landing. The presence of snow reduces the friction and therefore there is need to understand how much friction can be expected on the different types of ... -
Airtightness Development in Large Timber Buildings: Case Study of a Zero-Emission Building in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Large timber buildings are increasingly used in the Nordic countries because of low greenhouse gas emissions and good access to timber. There is however uncertainty about the airtightness of the envelope of such buildings ... -
Airtightness estimation – a state of the art review and an en route upper limit evaluation principle to increase the chances that wood-frame houses with a vapour- and wind-barrier comply with the airtightness requirements
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)High airtightness is particularly important in order to achieve energy efficient buildings. Of this reason airtightness estimation is of interest. Over the past 30 years researchers have worked on airtightness estimation. ... -
Aktiv flomdemping; case-studie av Ilavassdraget i Trondheim kommune

Algal hot spots in a changing Arctic Ocean: Sea-ice ridges and the snow-ice interface
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)During the N-ICE2015 drift expedition north-west of Svalbard, we observed the establishment and development of algal communities in first-year ice (FYI) ridges and at the snow-ice interface. Despite some indications of ... -
Allocation of water consumption in multipurpose reservoirs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report on Renewable Energy Sources represented a benchmark in the assessment of water consumption from electricity production. The numbers for hydropower ranged from ... -
An Analysis of the Most Adopted Rating Systems for Assessing the Environmental Impact of Buildings
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Rating systems for assessing the environmental impact of buildings are technical instruments that aim to evaluate the environmental impact of buildings and construction projects. In some cases, these rating systems can ... -
An analysis of the potential impact of climate change on the structural reliability of drinking water pipes in cold climate regions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The climate is changing worldwide. For the northern hemisphere there are distinct challenges related to climate change. It is expected that temperature on a general basis will increase within the next 100 years, and that ... -
An analytical method for the solution of two phase Stefan problem in cylindrical geometry
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Two phase Stefan problem was solved using analytical method in cylindrical domain. To solve governing equations Eigen conditions were formulated by using separation of variable technique. Eigenvalues of the eigencondition ... -
An anisotropic shear strength model for cyclic accumulated plastic strain of overconsolidated clay
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Many geotechnical problems involve calculation of the permanent deformation of overconsolidated clay under undrained cyclic loading. There are many existing methods in the literature which have been made for predicting ... -
An Assessment of Ice Effects on Indices for Hydrological Alteration in Flow Regimes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Preserving hydrological variability is important when developing environmental flow regimes, and a number of tools have been developed to support this process. A commonly applied method is the index of hydrological alteration ... -
An attempt to monitor pore pressure changes in a block sample during and after sampling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)A soil sample goes through stress changes during and after sampling. Sensitive clays are affected by sample disturbance and stress changes have a great effect on the quality. The reduction of in-situ total stresses to zero ... -
An Ecological Adaptive Cruise Control for Mixed Traffic and Its Stabilization Effect
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)With the rapid development of technologies, the ecological control strategies of connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) technologies are gaining more and more attention. In this paper, a rule-based ecological cruise control, ... -
