Sand extracted from natural resources is widely used in concrete production nowadays. The increase in demand for concrete production has resulted in shortage of natural sand resources, especially in terms of suitable ...

Integrated gasification combined cycles (IGCC) are promising power production systems from solid fuels due to their high efficiency and good environmental performance. Chemical looping combustion (CLC) is an effective route ...

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is increasingly being used as a tool by the building industry and actors to assess the global warming potential (GWP) of building activities. In several countries, life cycle based requirements ...

Automatic Identification System (AIS) is primarily used as a tracking system for ships, but with the launch of satellites to collect these data, new and previously untested possibilities are emerging. This paper presents ...

Expert judgments are often used to estimate likelihood values in a security risk analysis. These judgments are subjective and their correctness rely on the competence, training, and experience of the experts. Thus, there ...

This paper discusses experiences, risks and mitigation in autonomous transport systems, to improve learning and risk-based governance. This is based on literature reviews, experiences of autonomous transport systems and ...

The use of cross-laminated timber (CLT) elements in buildings is an innovative and upcoming construction method. In Norway, due to its eco-friendly potential, more widespread use of the method is expected despite limited ...

Conventional pressure based flow distributors face challenges in the form of operational limits as their low outlet density and non-uniform flow distribution path, often act as bottleneck in the overall chemical equipment ...

Increasing activities in Arctic waters bare a risk of oil spills under ice-covered conditions and afford sound understanding of the interplay between sea ice and oil. Towards better knowledge, this study focuses on X-ray- ...
