Tveiten,Jan.Pdf (8.225Mb) FACULTY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY MASTER’S THESIS Study program/ Specialization: Spring semester, 2012 Masters Degree in Mechanical and Structural Engineering – Civil Engineering Open Writer: Jan Tveiten (Writer’s signature) Faculty supervisor: Jasna Bogunovic Jakobsen External supervisor(s): Title of thesis: Dynamic analysis of a suspension bridge. Credits (ECTS): 30 Key words: Pages: 90 Suspension bridge Steel bridge + enclosure: 80 Eigen value analysis Dynamic analysis Stavanger, 11/6-2012 Date/year PREFACE This master thesis is the final part of my Master degree in structural and material science at the University of Stavanger. The thesis consists of collecting and studying data for the Lysefjord Bridge in light of the deterioration of the main cables and to carry out some static and dynamic analysis of the bridge to see if any load case could indicate reasons for the wire breakage. Data is given from the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (Statens Vegvesen) The existing finite element model of the bridge is modeled in ABAQUS. The model is analyzed with emphasis on the dynamic aspects of the bridge. Studies of the eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes have been done, both from the finite element model results and by simpler theoretical calculations. Wind loading and vortex induced vibrations of the bridge girder has been looked into. Cables forces from the loads have been checked. The wire fractures observed in the main cables have been summarized and analyzed with respect to weather conditions in the area. Data on the weather in the area has been provided by the Lysefjord Weather Station, downloaded through www.wunderground.com. The thesis consists of; A presentation of the static and dynamic characteristics of a suspension bridge A summary of the wire fractures in the main cables on Lysefjord Bridge A weather analysis at the time of the wire fractures Verification of the existing finite element model in ABAQUS An eigenvalue, wind, temperature and traffic analysis of the bridge model A verification of the finite element model results by theoretical calculations Contents Faculty of Science and Technology ................................................................................... …………...i Preface..................................................................................................................................... …………...i Table of Figures .................................................................................................................... …………..ii Table of Tables ...................................................................................................................... ………….iv Acknowledgments .............................................................................................................. ... .………......v 1 Introduction ........................................................................................................... ... .…. ………1 2 Suspension bridges ........................................................................................ …… …………..3 2.1.

THE ANASON FAMILY IN ROGALAND COUNTY, NORWAY AND JUNEAU COUNTY, WISCONSIN BY LAWRENCE W. ONSAGER THE LEMONWEIR VALLEY PRESS Berrien Springs, Michigan and Mauston, Wisconsin 2013 ANASON FAMILY INTRODUCTION The Anason family has its roots in Rogaland County, in western Norway. Western Norway is the area which had the greatest emigration to the United States. The County of Rogaland, formerly named Stavanger, lies at Norway’s southwestern tip, with the North Sea washing its fjords, beaches and islands. The name Rogaland means “the land of the Ryger,” an old Germanic tribe. The Ryger tribe is believed to have settled there 2,000 years ago. The meaning of the tribal name is uncertain. Rogaland was called Rygiafylke in the Viking age. The earliest known members of the Anason family came from a region of Rogaland that has since become part of Vest-Agder County.

  • UNFC Case Studies from Finland/Estland, Sweden and Norway
    United Nations ECE/ENERGY/GE.3/2020/10 Economic and Social Council Distr.: General 15 April 2020 Original: English only Economic Commission for Europe Committee on Sustainable Energy Expert Group on Resource Management Eleventh session Geneva, 20-24 April 2020 Item 11 of the provisional agenda Application of the United Nations Framework Classification for Resources (UNFC) in different geographical contexts. United Nations Framework Classification for Resources Case Studies from Finland/Estland, Sweden and Norway – Nordkalk limestone and Forsand sand and gravel mines Prepared by the Geological Survey of Norway, the Geological Survey of Sweden, Nordkalk, Forsand Sandkompani and Petronavit a.s. Summary This study demonstrates how the United Nations Framework Classification for Resources (UNFC) is being used to classify industrial mineral extraction projects for limestone in Estland and Sweden, and for a gravel and sand project in Norway. The report summarizes the main features of UNFC before describing the Nordkalk limestone projects. These projects demonstrate the usefulness of UNFC in categorizing environmental, social economic conditions and technical feasibility that may facilitate or hamper project development. The gravel and sand project demonstrates the use of UNFC in a case with few complications. This also shows an accounting method based on a standard that is common in national statistics as well as in project management. The gravel and sand case is also used to show how a UNFC inventory built with respect for the quality requirements embedded in the Committee for Mineral Reserves International Reporting Standards (CRIRSCO) may be translated into a CRIRSCO inventory. This allows for new UNFC accounts to be compared with existing CRIRSCO accounts and thus prevents a break in the records when going from a CRIRSCO standard to the UNFC standard ECE/ENERGY/GE.3/2020/10 Contents Page I.

  • A 10Be Chronology of Southwestern Scandinavian Ice Sheet History

BRINER,1* JOHN INGE SVENDSEN,2 JAN MANGERUD,2 ØYSTEIN S. LOHNE2 and NICOLA´ S E. YOUNG3 1Department of Geology, University at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY 14260, USA 2Department of Earth Science, University of Bergen and Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research, Bergen, Norway 3Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University, Palisades, NY, USA Received 22 December 2013; Revised 12 March 2014; Accepted 29 March 2014 ABSTRACT: We present 34 new cosmogenic 10Be exposure ages that constrain the Lateglacial (Bølling–Preboreal) history of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet in the Lysefjorden region, south-western Norway. We find that the classical Lysefjorden moraines, earlier thought to be entirely of Younger Dryas age, encompass three adjacent moraines attributed to at least two ice sheet advances of distinctly different ages. The 10Be age of the outermost moraine (14.0 Æ 0.6 ka; n ¼ 4) suggests that the first advance is of Older Dryas age. The innermost moraine is at least 2000 years younger and was deposited near the end of the Younger Dryas (11.4 Æ 0.4 ka; n ¼ 7). After abandonment of the innermost Lysefjorden Moraine, the ice front receded quickly towards the head of the fjord, where recession was interrupted by an advance that deposited the Trollgaren Moraine at 11.3 Æ 0.9 ka (n ¼ 5). 10Be ages from the inboard side of the Trollgaren Moraine suggest final retreat by 10.7 Æ 0.3 ka (n ¼ 7).

  • The Stavanger Region
    WELCOME ON BOARD Rødne Fjord Cruise and the crew welcome you on board! The trip will take us far into the country and show us idyllic island scenery as well as a wild and beautiful West Norwegian nature. In order to be prepared in case of an emergency, we ask you to please read the safety information on board. A STAVANGER Stavanger is today the fourth largest city in Norway with approximately 120.000 inhabitants. Stavanger is considered to be the oil capital of Norway, but before oil was discovered in the North Sea it was fish, specifically sardines that kept the city going. B TINGHOLMEN/HØGSFJORD After passing the historically interesting Tingholmen, where King Olav Tryggvason held his national assembly in 998, we proceed into the Høgsfjord. Many Stavanger families have their summerhouses along the coastline here. C LYSEFJORD The Lysefjord is 42 km long. The name dates back to the old Norse name Lýsir or light. It is believed this refers to the lightly colored granite that can be found in the fjord. The Lysefjord was formed by glaciers during the ice ages. During the most recent ice age, about 10.000 years ago, Norway was covered with a layer ofice that was up to 2.000 meters thick. The fjord is a deep ravine between mountainous valley sides. Between Oanes and Forsand, there is an end moraine of sand, and the fjord is only 10-20 meters deep at this point. Ever since man first settled in the area, fishing and hunting have been important activities here.
