Leemeijer, Kees (author)The building sector is responsible for 40% of worldwide carbon emissions, of which 8% can be attributed to concrete construction. With an increased demand for housing, this percentage is bound to increase. This thesis sheds light on strategies for reducing the environmental impact of concrete construction by investigating the potential of...master thesis 2020

Dorresteijn, Bo (author)Shape has long been an important parameter in improving the internal comfort of buildings and reducing energy demand. This can be seen from historical vernacular architectural typologies, like igloos, which have minimal thermal loss surface to provide a comfortable internal climate. Using a shape factor to reduce the...master thesis 2020

Hoogeveen, Maartje (author)3D concrete printing (3DCP) is a new, innovative construction method in which concrete structures are produced layer-by-layer using a 3D printer. A printed concrete structure, can be self-supporting, which means no formwork is required anymore, increasing the freedom of form, while decreasing construction cost and material use. However, the...master thesis 2020

Marugg, Caithlin (author)In the future most of us will be living in cities and due to climate change global average temperatures are expected to rise. As a result of the urban heat island effect, the temperature in cities can be up to 7 C higher than in the surrounding rural area. Higher air temperatures are not only uncomfortable, but also unhealthy especially for...master thesis 2018

Bui, Dat (author)Additive manufacturing, popularly known as 3D printing, could positively change the fabrication of façade panels. Benefits include manufacturing each façade element uniquely without the use of a mould while having the potential of integrating functions as water drainage and solar shading within the object. Recycling polymers, obtained from...master thesis 2018

Kilimatos, Andreas (author)Shell structures appear quite often in our daily life. From aircraft fuselages to storage silos and boat hulls, these structures are employed for their structural efficiency and the aesthetics they provide. They are characterised by a small thickness in comparison to their other dimensions and by curvature in their unstressed state. Despite...master thesis 2018
