Brief profile
The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), established 1996, replaces the University of Trondheim, which included the Norwegian Institute of Technology, the College of Arts and Science and the Museum of Natural History and Archaeology. The university has 11 faculties, 72 departments and approximately 18,500 students. NTNU has a staff of about 3,000 thereof more than 1,150 academic and scientific personnel.
NTNU's Department of Structural Engineering is engaged in research of marine and arctic technologies, coastal and port engineering and technical oceanography. Arctic technologies research and education covers topics like ice physics, pollution in the Arctic, thermo-mechanical properties of material and Arctic offshore engineering. This includes subjects like ice physics and mechanics, ice loads on offshore and coastal structures, sea ice dynamics and rheology, statistics on sea ice and icebergs, oil and gas terminals in icy waters, cold climate engineering, oil behaviour in broken ice as well as ice spreading and response.
In several fields, NTNU's access to laboratories of international significance is impressive. One of these is the Laboratory for Building Materials and Structures and another is the Ice Engineering Laboratory. NTNU has also an affiliation in Spitsbergen, the University Courses on Svalbard, where climate and nature allow education and field studies in a real full-scale laboratory.
The Department of
Structural Engineering has through many years performed research on cold
climate engineering with emphasis on investigation of sea ice and iceberg
distribution in the Barents Sea, sea ice dynamics, mechanical properties
of
sea ice and estimation of loads on offshore and coastal structures.
