Erkens, S.M.J.G. (author), Scarpas, A. (author)With the increasing drain on natural resources and resulting aim to reduce the environmental impact of road engineering, the use of reclaimed asphalt in fresh asphalt becomes more and more important. Despite the experience in using RAC, there are still many questions regarding the effect of RAC on the technical and environmental performance of...book 2013

(author)Technical specifications for the asphalt concrete properties are developed to be able to specify mixtures that will perform well in pavement applications. Being able to identify and determine properties related to pavement performance in practice is crucial for both road authorities and contractors, since it allows for design and risk management...book 2015

Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), Van der Veen, C. (author), Walraven, J.C. (author), De Boer, A. (author)The capacity of reinforced concrete solid slab bridges in shear is assessed by comparing the design beam shear resistance to the design value of the applied shear force due to the permanent actions and live loads. Results from experiments on half-scale continuous slab bridges are used to develop a set of recommendations for the assessment of...conference paper 2013

Magalhaes Pereira, L.F. (author), Weerheijm, J. (author), Sluys, L.J. (author)The development of realistic numerical tools to efficiently model the response of concrete structures subjected to close-in detonations and high velocity impacts has been one of the major quests in defense research. Under these loading conditions, quasi-brittle materials undergo a multitude of failure (damage) mechanisms. Dynamic tensile failure...conference paper 2015

Palin, D. (author), Thijssen, A. (author), Wiktor, V. (author), Jonkers, H.M. (author), Schlangen, H.E.J.G. (author)Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) mortar specimens submerged in sea-water were analysed through environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) in back scattered electron (BSE) mode and nano-scratching. Results from both sets of analysis show the presence of distinct phases associated with aragonite, brucite and cement paste. Phases associated...conference paper 2015

Jiang, X. (author), Kolstein, M.H. (author), Bijlaard, F.S.K. (author)Due to various advantages of Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) decks, the FRP to steel composite bridge system is being increasingly used in new bridge structures as well as rehabilitation projects for old bridges. This paper focuses on the mechanical behaviours and failure modes of the adhesively-bonded joins between FRP sandwich decks and steel...conference paper 2013

Schipper, H.R. (author), Grünewald, S. (author), Eigenraam, P. (author), Raghunath, P. (author), Kok, M.A.D. (author)Free-form buildings tend to be expensive. By optimizing the production process, economical and well-performing precast concrete structures can be manufactured. In this paper, a method is presented that allows producing highly accurate double curved-elements without the need for milling two expensive mould surfaces per single element. The...conference paper 2014

Belletti, B. (author), Damoni, C. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author)Three years ago, the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment initiated a project to re-evaluate the carrying capacity of existing bridges and viaducts (e.g. reinforced and pre-stressed concrete beams and slabs). Due to the increase of traffic and the reallocation of emergency lanes to traffic lanes, the safety verification of some...conference paper 2013

Pan, Z. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)In self-healing concrete, healing agents (including the bacteria and nutrients for the bacteria) are often sealed in capsules to survive the mixing of concrete. When the crack occurs, these capsules can be damaged, the healing agents can be released and the chemical actions can be activated. This research mainly focuses on the probability...conference paper 2015

Giardina, G. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)Excavation works in urban areas require a preliminary risk damage assessment. In historical cities, the prediction of building response to settlements is necessary to reduce the risk of damage of the architectural heritage. The current method used to predict the building damage due to ground deformations is the Limiting Tensile Strain Method ...conference paper 2009

Terwel, K.C. (author), Boot, W. (author), Nelisse, M. (author)After several major structural incidents in The Netherlands, various initiatives have been started to improve structural safety. Research studies were initiated on the characteristics, causes and consequences of structural incidents. In this paper the results of three of these research studies are compared. Each study uses different data sources...conference paper 2013

It is the final stage in the production of cement-based materials and it is the essential part for achieving continuous hydration of cement, while avoiding cracking due to drying shrinkage. Continuous cement hydration also...conference paper 2014
