3D FE tool for time dependent settlement predictions
(Chapter, 2016)A newly developed calculation tool for fully coupled general 3D finite element consolidation analyses is presented. The development has been part of an ongoing Research and Development project called GeoFuture and the tool ... -
3D Numerical modelling of pile scour with free surface profile under waves and current using the level set method in model REEF3D
(Chapter, 2016)Wave action stirs up sediments and keeps it in suspension while currents wash it away from the coastal zone. The combined action of the waves and current close to the sediment bed may worsen the situation by creating ... -
A Comparison of Competitive Dialogue and Best Value Procurement
(Chapter, 2018)Competitive Dialogue (CD) and Best Value Procurement (BVP) are two different approaches to early contractor involvement (ECI) in public projects. However, it is not clear which approach is best suited for what kind of ... -
A comparison of wave generation methods simulating extreme waves in a numerical wave tank
(Chapter, 2017)Extreme wave conditions emanate from the random and instantaneous interaction of waves during storm events. These wave conditions may cause potentially severe damage to ships and offshore oil and gas structures. There are ... -
A Degrading Element of Safety-instrumented Systems with Combined Maintenance Strategy
(Chapter, 2019)Safety-instrumented systems (SISs) are widely used to prevent hazardous events. The mechanical actuator subsystem in a SIS can become more vulnerable with time due to progressive degradation mechanisms, such as erosion, ... -
A numerical investigation of erosion around offshore pipelines
(Chapter, 2017)In this paper, a numerical investigation is carried out to model sea bed erosion around offshore pipelines deployed at the shoreline. The open-source CFD model REEF3D is used for the numerical modeling. The model solves ... -
A procedure for the assessment of the undrained shear strength profile of soft clays
(Chapter, 2016)In the geotechnical research community, there is widespread agreement that the choice of the characteristic undrained shear strength (cuA) is very important and plays an essential role in the design and stability analysis ... -
A Review of Research Pathways and Opportunities for Building Integrated Photovoltaics from a Materials Science Perspective
(Chapter, 2016)Research within materials science photovoltaics (PV) technologies may enable and accelerate the development of highly innovative and efficient building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) materials and systems. Sandwich, ... -
A sustainable model for optimal dynamic allocation of patrol tugs to oil tankers
(Chapter, 2013)Oil tanker traffic constitutes a vital part of the maritime operations in the High North and is associated with considerable risk to the environment. As a consequence, the Norwegian Coastal Administration (NCA) administers ... -
Academic Work - Something Else?
(Chapter, 2022)Purpose – Academics can be defined as knowledge workers, but not all knowledge workers are academics. The academic workplace has for a long time been associated with individual cellular offices. There is now a change in ... -
Alternative Numerical Pile Foundation Models for Integrated Analyses of Monopile-based Offshore Wind Turbines
(Chapter, 2016)Lowering the cost for offshore wind energy remains a major challenge. Increasing the accuracy of analysis tools used in the design and optimization process can strengthen the reliability and reduce conservatism, thereby ... -
An investigation of wave impact pressures on an offshore wind turbine substructure subjected to breaking focused waves
(Chapter, 2017)Offshore Wind Turbines (OWT) are very attractive candidates for renewable energy production for several obvious reasons such as stronger wind speeds and cleaner energy production. Among the two variants of the OWT's, namely, ... -
Application Of A 6DOF Algorithm For The Investigation Of Impulse Waves Generated Due To Sub-Aerial Landslides
(Chapter, 2017)Inland water bodies such as lakes, rivers and streams are generally considered safe from extreme wave events. Such inland water bodies are susceptible to extreme wave events due to impact of aerial landslides, where a large ... -
Application of a generalized continuous Mohr–Coulomb criterion
(Chapter, 2018)This paper presents an application of a generalized failure criterion for soils. The presented formulation was originally adopted by the authors to round the corners of the Mohr–Coulomb (MC) yield surface in principals ... -
Application of Assistive Technologies in Smart Cities
(Chapter, 2021)Urban areas in the European Union (EU) are ageing fast. As part of the "Operational Programme for the Implementation of the European Cohesion Policy for the period 2014-2020", some EU member-states have prioritised promoting ... -
Application of conditional random fields for the reliability assessment of slope stability
(Chapter, 2017)This study employs conditional random fields to integrate different sources of information on soil properties in the reliability assessment of slope stability in Rissa, Norway. The reliability assessment is conducted to ... -
Application of FhSim for the Analysis of Environmental Loads on a Complete Fish-Farm System
(Chapter, 2019)Fish farming at exposed locations requires robust and reliable structures that facilitate sustainable, safe and efficient production. There is also a need for proper numerical tools and analysis methods that can be utilised ... -
