Measurements to Estimate the Downward Heat Flux from a Burning Oil Pool
(Chapter, 2018)Oil spills in ice-covered waters pose unique challenges to remediation activities. In-situ burning is a potential remediation technique that has shown promising efficiency in earlier trials. An element of in-situ burning ... -
A multi-level strategy for successively improved structural analysis of existing concrete bridges:examination using a prestressed concrete bridge tested to failure
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This paper describes a multi-level strategy with increased complexity through four levels of structural analysis of concrete bridges. The concept was developed to provide a procedure that supports enhanced assessments with ... -
Laboratory In-situ Burns of Oil on Ice
(Chapter, 2018)Oil spills in ice-covered waters pose unique challenges to remediation activities. In-situ burning is a potential remediation technique that has shown promising efficiency in earlier trials. An element of arctic in-situ ... -
Strengthening of RC beams using bottom and side NSM reinforcement
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
Winter concreting full-scale field trial of rock tower foundations
(Lecture, 2018)Winter concreting can be an attractive option for construction in remote areas where concerns about wildlife and soil integrity are prioritized. In order to minimize disturbance of wildlife and to be able to access remote ... -
Review of FRCM strengthening solutions for structural wall panels
(Chapter, 2018)This paper summarizes the state-of-the-art on the topic of structural wall panels strengthened using fabric reinforced cementitious matrix composites (FRCM) composites. A systematic review of the literature is carried out ... -
Polarimetric analysis of oil contaminated laboratory grown saltwater ice imaged by a ground based SAR
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)In this paper we present preliminary experimental results from a ground based SAR system imaging artificially grown saltwater ice induced with crude oil. The data is acquired from a large scale laboratory experiment conducted ... -
Observations of Ice Conditions and Properties in Norwegian Fjords during the Winter of 2018 and Implications for Oil Spill Response
(Chapter, 2018)As the arctic opens to more development and increasing ship traffic, coastlines are at greater risk of oil pollution resulting from these operations. Fjords are one feature common throughout the arctic, with many dotting ... -
Field measurements on the behavior of brash ice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The behavior and properties of brash ice are important issues for the design of ice-going vessels. Heavy brash ice conditions may cause vessels to be dependent on ice-breaker assistance and time delays in the shipping ... -
3D reconstruction of existing concrete bridges using optical methods
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Routine bridge inspections usually consist of visual observations. These inspections are time-consuming and subjective. There is a need to identify new inspection techniques for infrastructure that reduce traffic disturbance, ... -
The EU Horizon 2020 project GRACE: integrated oil spill response actions and environmental effects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)This article introduces the EU Horizon 2020 research project GRACE (Integrated oil spill response actions and environmental effects), which focuses on a holistic approach towards investigating and understanding the hazardous ... -
Local and global behavior of walls with cut-out openings in multi-story reinforced concrete buildings
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This paper presents the finite element analysis (FEA) results of a multi-story reinforced concrete (RC) building having precast and cast-in-place load bearing walls. Door-type cut-out openings (height: 2.1 m, width: 0.9–4.4 ... -
3D graphene aerogel framework enwrapped LiFePO4 submicron-rods with improved lithium storage performance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The three-dimensional (3D) graphene aerogel (GA)-wrapped LiFePO4 submicron-rod composite (LFP@GA) has been prepared successfully through a solvothermal method followed with rapid freezedrying. Monodispersed LiFePO4 ... -
Mosideo/cirfa tank experiments on behavior and detection of oil in ice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)In the Arctic, presence of sea ice presents a challenge to safe and sustainable operations. To optimize planning and minimize impact of inadvertent oil spills, oil-in-ice experiments were performed at the HSVA Arctic ... -

Experimental study on shear deformation of reinforced concrete beams using digital image correlation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This paper presents an experimental program aimed at providing reliable and comprehensive experimental data for assessing the available models of predicting the shear deformation of diagonally-cracked reinforced concrete ... -
Crude oil migration in sea-ice: Laboratory studies of constraints on oil mobilization and seasonal evolution
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Rising Arctic maritime activities and hydrocarbon development increase the risk of an oil spill in and under Arctic sea-ice. Oil spilled under growing sea ice would be encapsulated within the ice cover. During spring and ... -
A low-cost coastal buoy for ice and metocean measurements
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Regionally, an ice cover in fjords of mainland Norway may form and break up repeatedly during winter. Due to relatively high water temperatures, the freeze-up process is expected to be related to freshwater-induced ... -
Structural health monitoring of a buttress dam using digital image correlation
(Chapter, 2019)In order to improve the knowledge of the real behaviour of existing structures,structural health monitoring (SHM) is usually carried out. Initial calculations of a buttress dam located in Norway has been carried out to ... -
