Waiting Time Strategy for Public Transport Passengers
(Master thesis, 2016)Large population growth in cities and environmental concerns across the world puts increasingly higher demands on public passenger transport. In several European cities, including the nine largest urban areas in Norway ... -
Warmer and wetter winters: characteristics and implications of an extreme weather event in the High Arctic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)One predicted consequence of global warming is an increased frequency of extreme weather events, such as heat waves, droughts, or heavy rainfalls. In parts of the Arctic, extreme warm spells and heavy rain-on-snow (ROS) ... -
Water consumption from hydropower plants – review of published estimates and an assessment of the concept
(Journal article, 2013)Since the report from IPCC on renewable energy (IPCC, 2012) was published; more studies on water consumption from hydropower have become available. The newly published studies do not, however, contribute to a more consistent ... -
Water Resource Management for Integrated Use of Rivers and Reservoirs in Rural Areas of Developing Countries: Guder River Basin
(Master thesis, 2017)Impact of climate change on runoff is a topic of great interest to hydrologists and hydropower developers. Often studies that involve effect of climate change on runoff in developing countries such as Ethiopia are conducted ... -
Water Runoff Properties for Expanded Clay LWA in Green Roofs
(Master thesis, 2013)A lightweight aggregate (LWA) is a material that has a lower density than rock aggregates. There are many civil engineering application possibilities for LWA. A potential field of application for expanded clay LWA is as a ... -
WaterMet2: a tool for integrated analysis of sustainability-based performance of urban water systems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)This paper presents the “WaterMet2 ” model for long-term assessment of urban water system (UWS) performance which will be used for strategic planning of the integrated UWS. WaterMet2 quantifies the principal water-related ... -
Wave propagation over rugged topography Mehamn Harbourentrance case study
(Master thesis, 2011) -
Wave Slamming Forces on Offshore Wind Turbine Jacket Substructures
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2018:237, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Currently, the development of offshore wind energy is mainly in shallow or intermediate water, where bottom-fixed substructures (e.g. monopiles and jackets) are mainly used. In harsh environmental conditions at certain ... -
Wave slamming forces on truss structures for wind turbines
(Master thesis, 2013)Generally the foundations of offshore wind turbines are steel truss structures which are exposed to wave slamming forces due to breaking waves, typically plunging breaking waves in shallow water. Calculations show that the ... -
Wave slamming forces on truss support structures for wind turbines
(Master thesis, 2012)This thesis is a study of the slamming forces from plunging breaking waves on truss support structures in shallow water. The main parts have been model testing and analysis on an existing 1:50 scale model of a truss support ... -
Weathering Performance of Spruce Coated with Water Based Acrylic Paint Modified with TiO2 and Clay Nanoparticles
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)This work examines the effect of wood specimens coated with water based acrylic coatings modified with TiO2 and clay nanoparticles against weathering strain. The long-term durability of the specimens towards climate strain ... -
What Are Demanding Operations In Subsea Work?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)In recent years, offshore operations have changed from a focus on anchor handling and rigging to more subsea installation and IMR (inspection, maintenance, repair). Situations where large and heavy modules are placed on ... -
What Makes an Alliance an Alliance – Experiences from Australian Infrastructure Projects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This research shows that alliancing can be identified by 25 hard elements. It seems the case that no single element is unique to alliancing, but rather it is the combination of elements that really makes the alliancing ... -
Where and why do firms choose to move? Empirical evidence from Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)A key goal for many public policies is to increase the competitiveness of local industries and make areas more attractive for firm location and development. However, little is known about firm relocations even though they ... -
WHY CONFLICTS OCCUR IN ROADS AND TUNNELS PROJECTS IN NORWAY
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Conflicts within the Norwegian construction industry have reached unacceptable levels. The grievance of these disputes, whether it is the number of conflicts or the expense involved in these conflicts, is under discussion. ... -
Why don't cost-benefit results count for more? The case of Norwegian road investment priorities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The starting point is that the benefit/cost ratio is virtually uncorrelated to the likelihood of a Norwegian classified road project entering the list of investments selected for the National Transport Plan. The purpose ... -
Wind pressure coefficients for roof ventilation purposes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Wind pressure coefficients (cp) are important inputs for analytical calculations of wind load. The aim of this research is to investigate wind pressure coefficients on a test house located in Norway in order to pave the ... -
Wind-driven Rain Exposure and Assessment of Building Integrated Photovoltaic Systems
(Master thesis, 2016)This thesis is written as the final semester project of the five-year Master of Science program of Civil and Environmental Engineering (Bygg- og Miljøteknikk) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) ... -
Window spacers and edge seals in insulating glass units: A state-of-the-art review and future perspectives
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Insulating glass (IG) units typically consist of multiple glass panes that are sealed and held together structurally along their perimeters. This report describes a study of edge seals in IG units. First, we summarize the ... -
Windows in the Buildings of Tomorrow; Energy Losers or Energy Gainers?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)One of the most effective actions for reduction of energy loss through the building envelope is to optimize the thermal performance, area and localization of the transparent components in the façade in order to obtain ...
