Dokumentasjon som hjelpemiddel i restaurering av historiske bygninger
(Master thesis, 2008)Temaet ”Dokumentasjon som hjelpemiddel i restaurering av historiske bygninger” kan favne så mangt. Denne besvarelsen tar for seg tradisjon og praksis i dokumentasjon av restaurering av historiske byggverk, gjennom analyse ... -
Energy Efficiency in Swimming Facilities
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2015:130, Doctoral thesis, 2015)High and increasing energy use is a worldwide issue that has been reported and documented in the literature. Various studies have been performed on renewable energy and energy efficiency to counteract this trend. Although ... -
Energy use and associated greenhouse gas emissions – developing an indicator framework applicable to the built environment
(Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2016:233, Doctoral thesis, 2016)Many different policy approaches, tools, and methodologies have been implemented in the quest to reduce the energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of different elements of the built environment. The common ... -
Erosion of permafrost affected coasts: rates, mechanisms and modelling
(Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2015:328, Doctoral thesis, 2015)The coastal zone is the geographical and geomorphological interface between land and ocean and is an important gateway for a region’s commercial and cultural exchange with the rest of the world. Arctic coastlines erode at ... -
Evaluation of the effect of aggregate mineralogy on the durability of asphalt pavements
(Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2015:110, Doctoral thesis, 2015)Shape, gradation, hardness and texture are among the aggregate characteristics necessary to consider during the asphalt mixture design process. However these characteristics do not provide direct information on the ... -
Experimental and Numerical Investigations of Dynamic Positioning in Discontinuous Ice
(Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2015:329, Doctoral thesis, 2015)This thesis studies dynamic positioning (DP) operations of a conceptual Arctic drillship in discontinuous sea ice conditions. The stationkeeping behaviour of the vessel under the influence of dynamic ice actions is ... -
Floe Ice – Sloping Structure Interactions
(Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2014:324, Doctoral thesis, 2014)Several interaction processes can be identified during floe ice - sloping structure interactions. However, fierce processes around the waterline are the most conspicuous phenomena. These violent processes feature ice ... -
Force and response estimation on bottom-founded structures prone to ice-induced vibrations
(Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2015:217, Doctoral thesis, 2015)Various types of bottom-founded structures, including lighthouses, quay structures, mono-pod platforms, multi-legged platforms, caisson-retained islands and bridges, are located in ice-infested waters. Level ice can ... -
Hard Rock Tunnel Boring: Performance Predictions and Cutter Life Assessments
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2016:350, Doctoral thesis, 2016)The use of hard rock tunnel boring machines (TBMs) has become widely and generally used with success but in too many cases, due to unanticipated situations and/or inappropriate assessments, with catastrophic consequences. ... -
Heavy Vehicle Following Behavior: The Effect of Vehicle Properties, Road Characteristics and Environmental Factors on Vehicular Interactions
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2016:371, Doctoral thesis, 2016)This thesis describes a series of studies made in the field of modelling heavy vehicle behavior. The main goal of the thesis was to investigate how car-following behavior of heavy vehicles differs from that of cars, how ... -
Isogeometric Analysis of Coupled Problems in Porous Media
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2016:140, Doctoral thesis, 2016)Computational modeling of coupled problems in porous media is essential in various disciplines of science and engineering. The porous media of interest here are soils subjected to different physical processes. In particular, ... -
Modeling of Strain Accumulation in Clays under Cyclic Loading
(Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2015:249, Doctoral thesis, 2015)The stiffness of the soil at the foundation level plays an important role in the global stiffness of the offshore structure. Beside the static loads, the offshore foundation need also suffer cyclic loads from both wind ... -
