Prosperi, A. (author), Longo, M. (author), Korswagen, Paul A. (author), Korff, M. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)In this study, 2D and 3D modelling strategies are used to represent the behaviour of historical masonry buildings on strip foundations undergoing settlements. The application focuses on a two-story building, typical of the Dutch architectural heritage. An improved 2D modelling is presented: It includes the effect of the lateral walls to...journal article 2024

Duffy, K. (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Korff, M. (author), de Lange, Dirk (author), Roubos, Alfred (author)Three driven precast, four driven cast-in-situ, and four screw injection piles were installed and tested in dense to very dense sand at a site in the Netherlands. Each pile was instrumented with two types of fiber optic sensors and tested under axial compression. Through these tests, a comparison could be made of how different installation...journal article 2024

Prosperi, A. (author), Korswagen, Paul A. (author), Korff, M. (author), Schipper, H.R. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)In the Netherlands, the potential damage to the building stock due to subsidence phenomena has recently received increased awareness. However, evaluating and predicting damage to buildings in subsiding areas is a complex task that requires associating the vulnerability of exposed structures with the intensity of the subsidence hazard....journal article 2023

Prosperi, A. (author), Longo, M. (author), Korswagen, Paul A. (author), Korff, M. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)This paper demonstrates the use of non-linear finite element modelling to investigate the response of structures subjected to different shapes of subsidence-related ground settlements. The approach is presented with reference to a two-storey unreinforced masonry façade resting on a shallow foundation. Eight realistic settlement shapes, based on...conference paper 2023

Bayraktaroglu, H. (author), Gonzalez Acosta, J.L. (author), van den Eijnden, A.P. (author), Korff, M. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author)Natural soil deposits may possess a highly anisotropic nature. The fabric anisotropy of soils which is induced during the soil formation process can lead to severe variation in field scale responses. Although the influence of fabric on the response of sands is well known and several advanced constitutive models have been developed to account for...conference paper 2023

Prosperi, A. (author), Longo, M. (author), Korswagen, Paul A. (author), Korff, M. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)This study aims to investigate the damage response of unreinforced masonry (URM) façades resting on strip foundations and subjected to ground settlements via numerical models. The models depict the non-linear constitutive behaviour of both the masonry, via smeared cracking, and of the soil-foundation interaction, via nonlinear interface...journal article 2023

Duffy, K. (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), de Lange, D.A. (author), Korff, M. (author)This paper describes axial load tests on three full-scale driven precast piles in the Netherlands. The piles were founded in dense to very dense river-deposited sands, a soil that is widespread across the Dutch North Sea sector. The deposit is characterised by cone penetration test (CPT) tip resistances of up to 90 MPa and offers a detailed...conference paper 2023

Bayraktaroglu, H. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author), Korff, M. (author), Galavi, Vahid (author)Experimental studies show that initial fabric and its evolution under different stress paths highly influence soil behaviour. Even though different sample preparation methods create different inherent anisotropies and cause different material responses, the same initial fabric structure under different stress paths also results in different...journal article 2023

Bayraktaroglu, H. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author), Korff, M. (author)In this paper, a state-dependent semi-micromechanical framework for anisotropic sands is proposed. A simple constitutive model based on critical state theory and bounding surface (BS) plasticity is used to describe idealized micro-level soil behaviour, and a slip theory based multilaminate framework employed to create a link between the micro...conference paper 2023

Korff, M. (author), Hemel, M. (author), Peters, D.J. (author)A quay wall directly next to a building, both dating from around 1870, collapsed along the Grimburgwal in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on 1 September 2020. The historic quay wall consisted of a masonry wall, built of a timber deck supported by several rows of timber piles of about 12 m long. As over 200 km of such quays exists in Amsterdam and...journal article 2022

Prosperi, A. (author), Nicodemo, Gianfranco (author), Korff, M. (author), Peduto, Dario (author)This paper presents an integrated analysis based on the use of multi-source wide-area datasets consisting of hydro-mechanical properties of geomaterials, in-situ investigations/measurements (e.g. groundwater levels in wells) and innovative space-borne data (i.e. DInSAR techniques) to support numerical analyses aimed at assessing and predicting...conference paper 2022

Peduto, Dario (author), Prosperi, A. (author), Nicodemo, Gianfranco (author), Korff, M. (author)This study presents a novel framework in which numerical modelling contributes to the performance of district-scale, subsidence-induced damage assessment in cities where ground settlements affect entire quarters. Therein, the implementation of expeditious procedures offers geotechnical engineers the possibility of contributing beyond the...journal article 2022

Hemel, M. (author), Korff, M. (author), Peters, D.J. (author)The historic canal wall structures in many Northern European cities have been built as masonry walls on a timber deck founded on timber piles. For analysis of the resistance of those structures and assessment of their remaining service life, suitable and accurate calculation models are needed. Thereto an analytical method was developed for...journal article 2022

Duffy, K. (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), de Lange, Dirk (author), Korff, M. (author)Stresses generated from pile installation are a critical component in understanding pile behaviour. These are known as residual stresses and in Delft, the Netherlands, the response of three driven precast piles founded in sand was measured using distributed fibre optic sensing as part of a series of full-scale static load tests. The...conference paper 2022

Duffy, K. (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Askarinejad, A. (author), Korff, M. (author), de Lange, D.A. (author), Roubos, A.A. (author)Large areas of the Netherlands are dominated by deep, soft soil deposits, posing a challenge to engineers with respect to the design of axially loaded foundations. The design of these foundations is primarily based on methods which use cone penetration test (CPT) parameters, such as that outlined in the Dutch national standard NEN 9997-1.

Reinders, K.J. (author), Hanssen, R.F. (author), van Leijen, F.J. (author), Korff, M. (author)In this work, we investigate if, when, and how satellite InSAR can be used for evaluating surface settlements that occur during shield tunnelling in soft soil areas. We evaluate the applicability of InSAR prior, during, and after tunnel construction. Special emphasis is placed on the influence of the InSAR phase ambiguities in relation to short...journal article 2021

(author)In the Observational method Ab Initio approach observational feedback is used to optimize a structural design to field conditions that are found to be uncertain in the design phase. As a deep excavation takes place, the supporting retaining wall deflections can be observed by inclinometers which serve as an extra source of information on the...conference paper 2021
