      Fjærtoft, Eirin (Master thesis, 2013)
      Etablering av doble tunnelløp blir stadig mer aktuelt. Dette skyldes økende trafikkmengder og nye krav til trafikksikkerhet. Tunnelsikkerhetsforskriften krever for eksisterende tunneler at parallelle løp skal stå ferdige ...

    • Early careers on ecohydraulics: challenges, opportunities and future directions 

      Wilkes, Martin A.; Neverman, Andrew J.; Casas-Mulet, Roser; Adeva Bustos, Ana; McCluskey, Alexander H.; Ouellet, Valerie; Vanzo, Davide; Franklin, Paul A.; Silva, Ana T. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Early career researchers (ECRs) play a critical role in our knowledge-based society, yet they are the most vulnerable group in the scientific community. As a young, interdisciplinary science, ecohydraulics is particularly ...

    • Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) Approaches for Public Project Owners 

      Wondimu, Paulos Abebe (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2019:36, Doctoral thesis, 2019)
      Traditional project delivery methods, including, for example, design-bid-build with unit price contracting, open bidding, and owner quality control, facilitate transparent checks and balances. One shortcoming of traditional ...

    • Early contractor involvement (ECI): ways to do it in public projects 

      Wondimu, Paulos Abebe; Klakegg, Ole Jonny; Lædre, Ola (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Purpose Early contractor involvement (ECI) faces many barriers because it differs from traditional business practices. Public owners, especially, face a major challenge because they must comply with international and ...

    • Early contractor involvement approaches in public project procurement 

      Wondimu, Paulos Abebe; Tadayon, Allen; Lohne, Jardar; Lædre, Ola (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Purpose Early contractor involvement (ECI) faces many barriers when it is implemented in public procurement, given that it is different from traditional business practices. Primarily, public owners face a major challenge, ...

    • Early Contractor Involvement: Advantages and Disadvantages for the Design Team 

      Sødal, Andreas Heier (Master thesis, 2014)
      Mange hevder at stor avstand mellom prosjekterende og utførende i byggenæringen er en kritisk hemsko for effektiv prosjektgjennomføring. Uavhengig av avstanden og årsakene er det grunn til å tro at en bedre samhandling ...

    • Earth Mass Change Tracking Using GRACE Satellite Gravity Data 

      Joodaki, Gholamreza (Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2014:34, Doctoral thesis, 2014)
      This project is dealing with the estimation of present-day Earth’s mass transport and its redistribution by using observations from Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission. GRACE measures the ...

    • Earthquake Analysis of Subsea Structure on Caisson Foundation using 3D Finite Element Solution 

      Brandt, Madeleine (Master thesis, 2014)
      One of the challenging problems in geotechnical design of caisson foundations for offshore structures is the determination of soil-structure interaction during earthquakes. In this thesis, earthquake analyses were performed ...

    • Earthquake Response Analysis of Buildings 

      Niazi, Hijratullah (Master thesis, 2021)
      Denne masteroppgaven studerer jordskjelvanalyse ved å bruke forenklet metode i henhold til Eurokode 8. Tre forskjellige modeller blir studert, modell 1 hvor jordtrykk er langs en av de langsgående kjellerveggene og hvor ...

    • Earthquake Response Analysis of Pile Supported Structures - Correspondence of PLAXIS 2D with Eurocode 8 

      Toma, Mohsin Ara (Master thesis, 2017)
      Earthquake response of a structure on relatively soft soil is influenced by the soil material properties and type of foundation i.e. shallow or deep foundation. The design recommendations of Eurocode 8 provide a conservative ...

    • Earthquake Response of Different Types of Retaining Walls 

      Thapa Magar, Anuj (Master thesis, 2016)
