• Blockchain in Construction 

      Lillehagen, Simen (Master thesis, 2017)
      Fundamental changing technologies will always have a lot of fuss about them, Blockchain is no exception. In this website the focus has been understanding the basic concepts of the technology and give some examples of how ...
    • Buckling of hollow aluminum columns 

      Amundsen, Niklas; Lynum, Aksel (Master thesis, 2017)
      This thesis studies the behaviour of axially loaded circular hollow cylindrical columns in aluminium and is written as a part of the project Design of power pylons in aluminium customised for automatic production . The ...
    • Determining alkali content in ASR performance-tested concrete 

      Kermit, Peter Holiman (Master thesis, 2017)
      Alkali silica reation (ASR) is a common deterioration mechanism of concrete. During ASR, reactive aggregate containing silicon oxide (SiO2) can react with the alkaline fluid in the concrete pores. To test whether a concrete ...
    • Digital Workflow in Conceptual Structural Design - Parametric Design of Connections for Timber Gridshell Structures 

      Rognes, Øyvind Sunnvoll; Faugstad, Helle Stam (Master thesis, 2018)
      The question for discussion is how digital workflow, based on a parametric model, can be used as a method of design to increase the efficiency of spatial structure design. The study focus on the development of connections ...
    • An Experimental and Numerical Investigation of the Blast Response of Pre-damaged Aluminium Plates 

      Stensjøen, Jon Magnus; Thorgeirsson, Sondre Tuft (Master thesis, 2017)
      The dynamic response of thin, perforated aluminium plates subjected to blast load has been studied both experimentally and numerically. The experiments have been conducted in a shock tube facility, where the blast intensity ...
    • Finite element modelling of steel bridge structures exposed to ship collisions 

      Ofstad, Kevin Mandt (Master thesis, 2018)
      The behavior of the Bressan-Williams-Hill fracture criterion (BWH), which is often used in simulating ship collisions, was studied by modeling and studying existing experiments done on the subject. Three experiments are ...
    • Impact against coated offshore steel pipes 

      Kulsrud, Eirik Bugge; Hammersvik, Steffen (Master thesis, 2017)
      This thesis is part of an ongoing research program between SIMLab and Statoil about impacts on coated offshore pipelines. Impact loads may occur from objects such as anchors or trawls, causing severe damage to the pipe ...
    • Implementation of isogeometric thin shell analysis within an object oriented computing environment 

      Haave, Simen Skogholt; Rakvåg, Marit (Master thesis, 2018)
      The drawback in today's computational analysis in structural engineering is that design and analysis are not integrated in a unified platform. A majority of the time spent in structural analysis is used to transform a ...
    • Parametric Design and Gradient-Free Optimization of Super Long-Span Suspension Bridges 

      Midtgarden, Eivind Aasrum; Giske, Fredrik (Master thesis, 2018)
      This thesis demonstrates the feasibility of the application of using an optimizing process when designing long-span suspension bridges, using a parametric FE-model. The optimization process is tested on a proposed single ...
