Accelerated Climate Ageing of Building Materials, Components and Structures in the Laboratory
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Building materials, components and structures have to fulfil many functional demands during the lifetime of a building. Therefore, it is important to require satisfactory durability of these materials, components and ... -
Accelerated climate aging of building materials and their characterization by Fourier transform infrared radiation analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Building materials and their durability and ageing are essential to the performance of buildings and their building physical aspects over time. Accelerated climate ageing investigations are carried out in order to study ... -
Alkali metal distribution in composite cement pastes and its relation to accelerated ASR tests
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Accelerated testing of alkali silica reaction (ASR) in concrete at elevated temperatures of 38 and 60 °C has an unknown impact on the alkali metal distribution in the cement paste. This paper investigates how the alkali ... -
Durability Evaluation of Adhesive Tapes for Building Applications
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)In the building sector, various adhesive materials are experiencing an increased usage for sealing of overlaps and joints between most commonly used building materials, around penetrations, pipes and windows for increasing ... -
Durability of ETICS with Rendering in Norway—Experimental and Field Investigations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) with Rendering are widely used in both rehabilitation and new building projects, even in areas with harsh climates such as the western regions of Norway. However, we ... -
Durability of traditional clamped joints in the vapour barrier layer: Experimental and numerical analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Clamped joints of wood frame buildings are a traditional way in Norway to attain airtight joints for the air and vapour barrier. Numerous defects registered in the SINTEF Building Defects Archive related to air leakage ... -
Durable Aluminium Reinforced Environmentally-friendly Concrete Construction – DARE2C
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)A new concept is described for low pH concrete that can allow reinforcement with aluminium metal rods or fibres. In regular concrete the high pH will after short while lead to substantial amounts of hydrogen gas evolution. ... -
Guide for the use of stainless steel reinforcement in concrete structures
(Prosjektrapport (Norges Byggforskningsinstitutt);405, Research report, 2006) -
Hygrothermal conditions in wooden claddings – Test house measurements
(Prosjektrapport (Norges Byggforskningsinstitutt);407, Research report, 2006) -
Modelling and validation of hygrothermal conditions in the air gap behind wood cladding and BIPV in the building envelope
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Materials used in the building envelope are exposed to a wide range of varying and harsh conditions over extended periods. Knowledge about these precise conditions allows for improving the design of testing schemes and ... -
Moisture Accumulation in Building Façades Exposed to Accelerated Artificial Climatic Ageing—A Complementary Analysis to NT Build 495
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Building façades must endure severe climatic exposure throughout their lifetimes. To prevent damage and expensive repairs, ageing tests are used in durability assessments. The NT Build 495 describes an artificial ageing ... -
Performance and Durability of Adhesive Tapes for Building Applications. From Product Documentation to Scientific Knowledge (and Back Again)
(Chapter; Conference object, 2020)Adhesive tapes are used extensively in both new buildings and renovation projects in order to achieve airtight building envelopes and energy efficient buildings. It is important to be able to reliably predict whether these ... -
Sandblasting effect on performance and durability of Ti based IrO2 –Ta2O5 anode in acidic solutions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)The effect of applying sandblasting during pretreatment while preparing titanium based IrO2 – Ta2O5 anodes by the conventional method was investigated. It was observed that sandblasting influences the surface morphology ... -
