...report provides an overview over the most common used NDT methods and sensors for inspection and monitoring of existing concrete structures. The methods are briefly described with regard to their working principle and the parameters and properties of concrete structures that can be investigated. NDT methods...
...tools for analysing operation and expansion of local energy systems and is written WP5 in the Research Centre on Zero Emission Neighbourhoods in Smart Cities (ZEN). WP5 in FME ZEN aims to develop and apply methodologies that identify the socio-economic optimal operation and expansion of energy systems...
...language CVL (Common Variability Language) that works with any other language defined by a metamodel. CVL models specify both variabilities and resolutions of these, and by executing a CVL model the base product line model is transformed into a specific product model. Our CVL tool is a generic tool in the...
There are hundreds of PAH compounds, and some of them are known to have negative effect on nature and humans if emitted to the environment. On a regulatory level, the long-term goal is to eliminate PAH emissions. It is important to measure PAH correctly to understand where these pollutants come from...
...raw material as collagen and gelatine marked, especially based on marine raw materials, is exploding during recent years. This leads for the situation where collagen/gelatine producing industry facing the situation with the lack of collagen rich raw materials as fish skins and bones. White fish industry...
...allocation of responsibility for the climate change adaptation of buildings and infrastructure among key agencies in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Germany, France and Canada. The report presents the various natural perils insurance and compensation schemes prevailing in these countries with the aim of revealing...
...grid dimensioning capacity might be determined by the PV peak generation rather than by the peak load (depending on the choice of the thermal system and the expected load from electric vehicles, not considered here). The heating system for the Zero Village Bergen is not yet decided, since this will be...
...concrete, or its ability to move through pipes and hoses by the help of a pump while maintaining its fresh and hardened properties, can be quantified as being better the lower the necessary pressure to obtain a given flow in a specific configuration and set-up (pump type, -capacity, pipes/hoses, –diameter/length...
...provided that the necessary unilateral declarations are deposited from Norway and Sweden to IMO and that Sweden and Norway enter a bilateral agreement on the matter. Economic incentives for CCS include the EU-ETS for fossil CO2 and the Swedish support for Bio-CCS through reverse auctioning....
The focus of the project "Methods of aggregation and disaggregation" are improved mathematical methods and computer tools for aggregation and disaggregation of hydro power systems in optimization models. These techniques are necessary for calculating the optimal utilisation of hydropower production...
...propagation of seismic airgun signals in the water column and to forecast the effect such signals and noise may have on fish and animals in the sea. The model used is the PlaneRay model, a model based on ray theory that can deal with range-dependent bathymetry and depth-dependent sound speed variations. The seismo-acoustic...
The Node, Edge, and Arc Routing Problem (NEARP) was defined by Prins and Bouchenoua in 2004 along with the first benchmark called CBMix. The NEARP generalizes the classical Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP), the Capacitated Arc Routing Problem (CARP), and the General Routing Problem. It is also...
Degradation and corrosion of amine solutions in post combustion CO2 capture plants increases the cost of the process due to operational problems, the need for high quality material in the plant and reduction of the solvent's CO2 capacity. A literature review over degradation and corrosion in CO2 capture...
A standardized small-scale weathering and dispersibility study has been conducted on Heidrun Åre crude oil from 2023 at 13 °C. The dispersibility testing was included to estimate the viscosity limits and time window for dispersant use. The obtained laboratory data were further used as input to the SINTEF...
The NORA10 and SVIM archives for winds and currents in Norwegian coastal water have been converted to the HYD format. This report contains the import routines for this conversion, and gives a quality assurance of the imported HYD format as read by the OSCAR model....
...freezing and heating) onboard fishing vessels. To achieve a full potential of efficiency and environmental benefits the ship must be considered as an engineering system, i.e. also considering the propulsion system. Stricter environmental regulations and an increased awareness of energy use and emissions...
