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 ... -
The walking speed of pedestrians on various pavement surface conditions during winter
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This study aims to quantify the relationship between pedestrians’ walking speeds and various surface conditions typically associated with a winter environment. The purpose is to enable assessments of the effects of different ... -
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 Loss Management and Data Quality Assessment in Medium-Sized Water Distribution Systems in Norway
(Master thesis, 2021)Den urbane populasjonen er estimert til å øke med 2.5 milliarder innen 2050. Urbaniseringen fører til mer kompliserte ledningsnett som blir vanskeligere å analysere og håndtere. Den økende kompleksiteten sammen med aldringen ... -
Water Management and Rainwater Harvesting Potential at Eco Moyo, Kenya
(Master thesis, 2022)Hovedmålet med forskningen var å forbedre resiliens mot tørke og erosjon ved Eco Moyo gjennom håndtering av regnvann. Eco Moyo er en barneskole i rurale Kilifi, Kenya. Skolen har tre vannkilder: (1) vann levert av Kilifi ... -
Water quality aspects related to domestic drinking water storage tanks and consideration in current standards and guidelines throughout the world – A review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In many parts of the world, drinking water storage takes place in near-house or in-house tanks. This can impact drinking water quality considerably. International and numerous national standards and guidelines addressing ... -

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 ... -
Water Vapour Resistance of Ceiling Paints - Implications for the Use of Smart Vapour Barriers in Compact Wooden Roofs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Smart vapour barriers enable building envelopes to dry toward the interior side. This property can be used in compact wooden roofs to create more slender structures by placing the wooden load-bearing elements inside the ... -
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 ... -
Watertight insertion of heavy sliding doors in exterior walls
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The joints around heavy terrace doors are considered a weak point in rain-exposed façades, as it is vulnerable to defects in design and construction. The insertion process of heavy sliding doors is a notable challenge. ... -
Wave environment assessment at a Norwegian harbor for land-based aquaculture facilities using a combined numerical approach
(Master thesis, 2021)Numerical wave modeling of Norwegian coastal areas is challenging due to the strongly varying bathymetry, irregular coastline, and large domains of interest. Phase-averaged models provide an appealing solution due to their ... -

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 ... -
