  • Experimental Investigation of Deicing with Seawater 

    Sæterdal, Ane Solbakken; Visich, Aleksandra; Deshpande, Sujay; Sundsbø, Per-Arne (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-06-19)
    Increased traffic and interest in arctic regions necessitate measures to ensure the safety and functionality of vessels. Sea-spray icing is one of the significant hazards for small- and medium-sized vessels in polar waters. Ice cover can restrict access to essential parts of a vessel and compromise its stability. Existing deicing measures, such as heat or chemical application and manual ice removal, ...
  • Running out of excuses? Norwegian political and policy discourses justifying oil and gas development in the Arctic 

    Ballo, Bjørn Moen; Kristoffersen, Berit; Sidortsov, Roman (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-08)
    In this article, we analyse how energy security are woven into political discourses among Norwegian policymakers after the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the consequences of this for intergenerational justice and environmental concerns more broadly. Preceding justifications centred on state revenue and domestic economic growth, the current discourse focuses on the European need for security of ...
  • Same same, but different – or how construction informatics gets taught at universities in Norway and Sweden 

    Merschbrock, Christoph; Onstein, Erling; Danielsen, Peter E.; Johansson, Peter (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)
    In response to the increasing demand for construction informatics (CI) expertise, universities in the Nordic countries have developed new educational offers. This study explores how CI related education is being delivered by three different universities, two in Norway and one in Sweden. By comparing curricula and interviewing CI teachers, this paper contributes to the recent debate on the international ...
  • Evaluating of melting-ice process in a vertical pipe with consideration of net sensible heat 

    Nguyen, Hung Thanh; Gjerløw, Eirik; Huynh, Minh-Thu T. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-19)
    In ice-melting process, motion of liquid–solid interface is complicated due to moving boundary, which is also called Stefan interface problem. Although the Stefan model has been widely utilized, it frequently overestimates the melting rate. In the present study, the net-sensible-heat of the phases are taken into account as an additional physical effect to the Stefan model for one-phase case and ...

    Cement-based concretes are commonly used for managing radioactive waste due to their low cost and radiation shielding properties. However, the potential of using oil shale ash as an additive in waste packaging material has been overlooked. This study focuses on benchmarking and developing a Monte Carlo based modeling methodology using multiple transport codes (MCNP, SERPENT, SCALE, OpenMC, and ...
  • Effect of pH, COD, and HRT on the Performance of Microbial Fuel Cell Using Synthetic Dairy Wastewater 

    Banerjee, Aritro; Calay, Rajnish K; Das, Subhashis (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-30)
    Microbial fuel cells (MFC) are emerging technologies that can produce electricity while treating wastewater. A series of tests were carried out to evaluate the efficiency of this technology for treating dairy wastewater (DWW). The experiments used Shewanella baltica as an exoelectrogen in a small single MFC to treat simulated DWW. The impacts of various operational factors, specifically pH, ...
  • Iron ore dust as a natural pigment in concrete with RCA for artwork application 

    Novakova, Iveta; Buyle, Boy-Arne; Ørmen, Lene Baadsvig (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022)
    A The innovative idea of utilization of iron ore dust (IODust), characterized by red hue typical for Narvik, came up during designing artwork for The Arctic University of Norway campus Narvik. The use of waste from iron ore production as a natural pigment was completed by partial replacement of natural aggregates (NA) by recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) to achieve a higher level of material ...
  • DEVELOPMENT OF METHOD AND CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION OF DRY-WASHING EFFICIENCY WITH RE-CON ZERO EVO 

    Novakova, Iveta; Norman, Sven-Henrik; Bista, Dipen (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022)
    Society recognises the need for the preservation of nature and the need for better resource utilisation. Integration of good practice in the building industry is mainly targeted at reducing or completely eliminating waste. One of the waste sources in the concrete industry is created in washing facilities and consists of returned concrete, washing water and cement slurry. Concrete trucks are washed ...
  • Evaluation of optimal replacement of natural aggregates by recycled concrete aggregates to achieve sufficient durability 

    Novakova, Iveta; Sjåfjell, Jørgen J.; Venkrbec, Vaclav (Preprint; Manuskript, 2022)
    The use of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is one way to reduce the depletion of raw materials for the production of concrete. In this article RCA was tested and evaluated. Concrete with 25 to 80 % of RCA was examined in terms of its durability performance, particularly capillary absorption and shrinkage. Capillary absorption testing showed that RCA has better or identical results as the reference ...

  • Design basis for Arctic infrastructure facilities 

    Myrmel, Liv Brita Hætta; Gudmestad, Ove Tobias (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-18)
    A discussion related to the selection of a proper design basis for Arctic infrastructure facilities is presented. The design basis, which must be sufficiently robust to ensure safe operations of the facilities during their planned lifetime, should include relevant information available from the local and indigenous people of the area. The need to properly document all data and assumptions made ...

    Novakova, Iveta; Perumal, Priyadharshini; Cwirzen, Andrzej; Wallevik, Olafur Haralds (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-14)
    Concrete is one of the most common building materials in the Northern Periphery and Arctic, and therefore we should pay attention to its quality while reducing its carbon footprint. The concrete industry has established many measures to limit greenhouse gas emissions from concrete, as stated in the environmental product declaration (EPD). The most significant contributor is cement (common dose ...
