NTNU principal research themes

Bridge fjord crossing solutions

Sustainable design and implementation of roads


Fjord crossings

Misson statement: Enable design of long span fjord crossing structures

• Model the environmental loading on the fjord crossing structures

• Establish computational tools to simulate dynamic reponse

• Establish design criteria for safety and comfort

• Establish service life criteria and prediction tools


Expected research results

Obtain data for design and engineering of bridge concepts(reference solutions to be security cleared)

• Realistic numeric models that inckudes all significant parameters• Loads

• Load effects

• Structural properties (air, fluids, earth)

PhD candidates with sepcific competences

Identify further research needs

Kick-off meeting E39 Fjord crossings 20.01.2015


Research set up

Focus on PhD and Postdoc projects with complimentary research and support from NPRA staff

Combine full scale measurements, laboratory experiments and analytical/numerical models

Discussions for need for «Met ocean» data with people measuringand simulating environmental loads

Ship collisions

• Overflatefartøy• Flytebru (pontong, brubjelke)

• Hengebru med flytende tårn

• U-båter• Neddykket flytende tunnel

• Forankringssystemer

• Synkende skip mot neddykket flytende tunnel

• Lokal og global lastvirkning

• Skipets bevegelse relativt til brukonstruksjonen

• Analyser for et utvalg av ulike skipstyper og hastigheter


Dynamic response av floating bridges

• Ph.d.-prosjekt finansiert av Statens vegvesen utenom Fergefri E39

• Analytisk/numerisk modellering

• Målinger Bergsøysundbrua• Vindfelt (mulig inhomogenitet,

korrelasjon langs brua)

• Bølgemåling langs brua (kortkammet sjø)

• Korrelasjon vind og bølger

• Respons av brua


Roads and Transportation

Mission statement: Develop knowledge for sustainable design, construction, operation, and maintenance of E39

• Develop safer solutions for road lifecycle

• Develop lower energy solutions for road lifecycle

• Develop environmentally friendly solutions for road lifecycle


Norway: Carbon Neutral by 2050 ?


Goals – National Transport Plan (NTP)

● Emissions form construction of transport infrastructure should be reduced by 40% within 2030

● Emission from maintenance and operation of transport infrastructure should be reduced by 50% within 2030

● In 2050, the transport sector should be nearly emission-free (Carbon neutral)
