• Evaluation of probability of failure of static equipment in pressurized mud systems on an offshore drilling installation 

      Rød, Bjarte (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2015-06-01)
      Degradation of pressurized topside static mud equipment is a very complex process. Inspection is a helpful tool to monitor degradation and helps reduce the number of critical failures. If it is left undetected and unchecked, it can lead to leakage resulting in accidents. To set up an effective inspection program, the concepts of Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) can be utilized. RBI helps to develop an ...
    • From Risk Management to Resilience Management in Critical Infrastructure 

      Rød, Bjarte; Lange, David; Theocharidou, Marianthi; Pursiainen, Christer Henrik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-07)
      This article discusses critical infrastructure resilience in terms of how it could be incorporated into the existing safety and security practices, namely the ISO 31000 risk management standard. The article starts by outlining the resilience discourse, focusing on the organizational, technological, and societal domains of resilience. It goes on to present an approach to how the risk management ...
    • Operationalising Critical Infrastructure Resilience. From Assessment to Management 

      Rød, Bjarte (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2020-09-03)
      Over recent decades, it has been evident that society relies heavily on critical infrastructures (CIs) to provide and maintain vital societal functions, such as water, electricity and transportation. Traditionally, in order to ensure the delivery of such functions, the focus has been on protecting the infrastructures’ systems from adverse and extreme events. However, large-scale events, such as ...
    • Recoverability modeling of power distribution systems using accelerated life models: Case of power cut due to extreme weather events in Norway 

      Rød, Bjarte; Barabadi, Abbas; Naseri, Masoud (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-09)
      Today’s societies rely on electric power distribution systems. Recent weather events have illustrated that the loss of such service can lead to severe consequences for societies and stakeholders. Hence, to reduce the impact of such extreme events on infrastructure systems and limit the associated losses, it is crucial to design infrastructure that can bounce back and recover rapidly after disruptions ...
