Application of Heavy Equipment Telematics in Infrastructure Projects : Method for automating collection of mixed fleet data, and optimization of projects through the use of telematics data
(Master thesis, 2019)Existing heavy equipment telematics capabilities are not being used to their potential.In collaboration with Skanska there is an interest to look at how telematics can beused more efficiently with ... -
Dimensjonering og livsløpsvurdering av ulike broløsninger i betong for å finne et bærekraftig alternativ
(Master thesis, 2019)In the preliminary project it was stated that Strauman 3 had been deteriorated so significantly that replacement isnecessary. The damage havebeen reported as critical for abouttwentyyears.Theplatebridge is located in ... -
Utmatting som følge av OPB i fortøyningsliner av kjetting : FEM analyse av topp-kjedet utsatt for OPB i henhold til retningslinjer av Bureau Veritas : Beregning og evaluering av utmattingslevetid for kjettingen, der effekten av en innfestningsarm med et lavfriksjonslager i enden mot den flytende konstruksjonen undersøkes
(Master thesis, 2019)Offshore structures are exposed to harshenvironments where there are many kinds of loads acting on the structure. These loads lead to complicated conditions with many possible load combinations. In addition, they are ... -
Experimental and finite element analysis of the shear behaviour of UHPC beams
(Master thesis, 2019)The flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beams isobviously defined and can be managed with reasonableaccuracy.However, a solution has not been obtained for the shear capacity of beams, especially those without shear ... -

(Master thesis, 2019)This master thesis is written in collaboration with Multiconsult and University of Agder. Earthquake design is a new field of study in Norway, and over the past decade it has become a part of rule and regulations ... -
Sustainability assessment of an apartment building containing reinforced concrete or cross-laminated timber (CLT)
(Master thesis, 2019)Today, the construction industry contributes to40% of the world’s energy consumption and greenhouse gasemissions(GHGs). According to theIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s(IPCC)report, the greenhouse gas emissions ... -
Karakterisering og rensing av tunnelvann
(Master thesis, 2019)This Project is a master thesis. The report is an addition to the preliminary project, which was made in the autumn of 2018. The research question of this project is: "How to solve the challenges related to polluted tunnel ... -
Network arch bridge : Optimization of the arch applying simple loads
(Master thesis, 2019)This master thesis gives insight in structural behavior of network arch bridges. When designed with circular arches the bending moments tend to rise near the bridge ends. As suggestions for improving this problemtwo ... -
Post weld heat treatment of welded low alloyed steel pipes : Use of AISI 4130 steel in hydrogen sulfide environment and its post weld heat treatment conditions
(Master thesis, 2019)Based on the results from pre-projectand workcovered by this thesis, no better alternatives to AISI 4130 material was found, neither could it be safely concluded for removal of NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 requirementsin any parts ... -
Kontinuerlige betongelementbruer : Virkningen av byggetilstand på konstruktiv oppførsel og dimensjonerende krefter
(Master thesis, 2019)The aim of this thesis is toexplore whateffect the construction state of a continuous prefabricated beam will have on the structural behaviour and design forces. This has been done by analysing Kvellaren bru located in ... -
Komparativ analyse av to bæresystemerfor leilighetsbygg i Kanalbyen, Kristiansand : Prosjektering av plasstøpt betong- og massivtrekonstruksjon i lys av en livssyklusanalyse
(Master thesis, 2019)Reinforced concrete is amongst the most used structural materials in the construction industry, due to its strength, applicability and formability. At the same time the environmental impacts caused by the use of concrete ... -
