Bridge deck aerodynamics: A case study in full-scale
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2022-04)One of the key aspects of bridge deck aerodynamics is the transformation of the incident wind flow into fluctuating surface pressures around a bridge deck. The atmospheric turbulence generates fluctuating loads on bridge ... -
Crack Arresting using Cutout Repair in Tubular Offshore Joints
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Finding efficient repair methods for cracked tubular joints in offshore structures is important, both as a permanent or temporary repair solution. The exploration of such methods and techniques includes the use of hole ... -
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 ... -
Design and Dynamic Analysis of a Novel Subsea Shuttle Tanker
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Underwater pipelines, tanker ships, and liquefied gas carriers have traditionally been employed to transport hydrocarbons between offshore oil and gas facilities and onshore locations. However, both methods come with ... -
Development of Advanced Numerical Tools for Dynamic Analysis of Aquaculture Structures
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2022-04)Numerical methods to accurately predict dynamic responses of marine aquaculture structures are essential in the engineering design process, because these structures can be subjected to large wave and current loads in the ... -
Dynamic behaviour of jackets exposed to wave-in-deck forces
(PhD thesis UiS;17, Doctoral thesis, 2005)During the last decade, wave-in-deck loading on fixed offshore structures has increasingly been acknowledged as an issue of concern to the offshore oil and gas industry. Being mainly an issue for existing structures, the ... -
Effect and consequence analysis of expanding PIN-technology in various types of heavy machinery
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Expanding pin systems can be applied in any joint, moveable, or fixed, in any type of machine, crane, or equipment, in almost any type of industry, globally. There are a variety of different versions of expanding pins ... -
Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Residual Stress for Structural Integrity Assessment of Proximity Girth Welds
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2023-01)Over the last decade, there has been a growing interest in the life extension of existing welded structures in offshore and renewable industry. During this phase of extension, repair of welded structures is a common practise ... -
