A review of fatigue damage detection and measurement techniques
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-09)A vast amount of research has been carried out towards the goal of quantifying changes related to the fatigue damaging process in materials throughout the fatigue life. However, no recommended practice has been developed ... -
Livssyklusanalyse av bygninger ved bruk av BIM: En case-studie
(Master thesis, 2021)A large proportion of the total emission from the building and construction industry are related to the production of building materials. In buildings with low energy needs, building materials make up a large percentage ... -
Glidestøping med miljøbetong
(Bachelor thesis, 2021)Betong er et byggemateriale som er forbundet med betydelige klimagassutslipp. Opp mot 8 % av verdens CO2-utslipp skyldes betongproduksjon. Økt fokus på bruk av miljøvennlige byggematerialer har ført til økt etterspørsel ... -
Joint computation offloading and deployment optimization in multi-UAV-enabled MEC systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-09)The combination of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and mobile edge computing (MEC) technology breaks through the limitations of traditional terrestrial communications. The effective line-of-sight channel provided by UAVs ... -
Cracking Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Structures Subjected to Service Load: Experimental and Numerical Investigation
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2021-10)Cracks in reinforced concrete (RC) structures are controlled to enhance the service life, for a better aesthetic appearance, and to avoid leakages in liquid retaining structures. The most widely used crack controlling ... -
Flexural behavior of cracked reinforced concrete beams with externally bonded CFRP plates
(Master thesis, 2021)The purpose of this thesis is to perform an experimental study of the flexural behavior of damaged reinforced concrete beams strengthened with externally bonded Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) plates. Damage have ... -
Utilization of self-consolidated green material for sustainable development: An environment friendly waste materials application for circular economy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-09)Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a unique kind of concrete that tends to consolidate in terms of its weight. In this study, the prime target is to investigate the durability properties of SCC developed using eco-friendly ... -

Assessing the Technical Specifications of Predictive Maintenance: A Case Study of Centrifugal Compressor
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-02)Dependability analyses in the design phase are common in IEC 60300 standards to assess the reliability, risk, maintainability, and maintenance supportability of specific physical assets. Reliability and risk assessment ... -
Fuel Cell Powered Drone: Use of Fuel Cells to Extend Multirotor Drone Endurance
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2021-10)Unmanned aerial systems can be used for a range of industrial applications to reduce risk, cost, and time. Fuel cell-based propulsion systems are outlined as a solution to extend mission endurance, one of the current main ... -
A Decision Analysis Framework for Optimizing Electrification of Offshore Hydrocarbon Production Facilities for CO2 Emission Reduction
(Master thesis, 2021)The oil and gas industry has been increasingly focusing on sustainability and emissions in their offshore production facilities, where 80% of emissions come from the generation of electricity for powering their platforms ... -
Load capacity and structural response of CLT-concrete composite slabs with two different types of shear fasteners
(Master thesis, 2021)Abstract The subject of this Master thesis is to investigate the performance of the behaviour of Cross Laminated Timber-concrete composite slabs with two different types of shear fasteners by performing theoretical predictions ... -
Optimizing the installation process for future FOW developments in Europe, using Shoreline
(Master thesis, 2021)The increasing interest and demand for renewable energy in Europe have supported trials and developments of floating offshore wind turbines in deep waters. It is already well established that about 80% of Europe's potential ... -
Damages in hollow core floor systems due to deflection of supporting beam and recommended solutions to control damage.
(Master thesis, 2021)Hollow core slabs (HCS) are pre-stressed concrete elements, normally supported by steel or reinforced concrete/pre-stressed concrete beams. Studies have shown that the deflection of the supporting beam may be the reason ... -
Design of Røydalen Bridge considering both linear and non-linear material and geometric behaviour
(Master thesis, 2021)Traditional design of reinforced concrete structures is based on the assumption of linear elastic behaviour of concrete and steel, even though the materials behaviour rarely is linear in reality. This thesis compares the ... -
Momentkapasitet av slakkarmerte og spennarmerte betongkonstruksjoner med korrosjonsskader
(Master thesis, 2021)I Norge finnes en rekke kystnære bruer med varierende grad av korrosjon. I kapasitetsberegninger av disse eldre konstruksjonene er normalt bare prosentvis reduksjon av bærekapasiteten tilsvarende prosentvis korrosjonstap ... -
Linear and nonlinear analyses of Røydalen bridge
(Master thesis, 2021)The aim of this thesis is to gain a broader understanding of bridge modeling and nonlinear analyses of structures. Røydalen bridge has been chosen as a case study and the modeling and analyses of the bridge has been performed ... -
