Analysis of a ship-bridge collision at Nordhordland Bridge
(Master thesis, 2023)The Nordhordland Bridge, a floating bridge located in Norway, spans a length of 1246 meters and was completed in 1994. Over the years, the bridge has experienced two instances of ship collisions so far, resulting in minor ... -
Analysis of an offshore lifting operation according to DNV - How to find the characteristic load by repeated dynamic simulations in the time domain
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKM/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-08)In order to analyze a lift offshore performed from a vessel, focus is often put on preparing a good model of the main lifted object, the vessel motions (RAOs), the crane characteristics plus the sea state characteristics. ... -
Analysis of cable vibrations at Stavanger City bridge
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-14)After the opening of the cable-stayed bridge Stavanger City Bridge in 1978 there have been reports of vibrations of the stay cables. The bridge is 1066,6 m long, and has a main span of 185 m. The main span is supported by ... -
