Downs, D.H. (author), Sebastian, Steffen (author), Woltering, René-Ojas (author)This paper examines the impact of the ratio of price-to-fundamental value on the stock market performance of real estate securities following seasoned equity offerings and senior debt issuances. Using a global sample of real estate securities, we distinguish between growth stocks, i.e. those with the highest stock prices relative to the private...conference paper 2017

Hu, Mingming (author), Miranda-Xicotencat, Brenda (author), Ita-Nagy, Diana (author), Prado, Valentina (author), Guinée, Jeroen (author), van Roekel, Eric (author), Huismans, Renate (author), Rens, Frank (author), Lotfi, Somayeh (author), Di Maio, Francesco (author)Ninety five percent of the construction and demolition waste is recycled in the Netherlands. Most of it is used for low value applications such as road base materials; the use of secondary material in buildings is still less than 3%7. In order to recover waste for higher value applications, enhancing selective demolition and waste management...conference paper 2017

Pot, R. (author), Roelse, F.P. (author), Van der Meer, M.T. (author), Nushi, B.R.I. (author), Nelemans, J.P. (author)The application of the Observational Method can contribute to an economic construction process and effective geotechnical risk management. Current project management practices and control of construction works lead to unfavourable conditions of its application. Throughout the realization of infrastructure, understanding of project risks and...conference paper 2015

Miranda, C. (author), Teixeira, A. (author), Huber, M. (author), Schweckendiek, T. (author)The traditional Dutch way to deal with piping failure in river dikes is the implementation of piping berms. The disadvantage of such a measure is the required inland space. Relief wells, on the other hand, require less or no inland space representing an attractive alternative solution. The aims of this paper are first, to show how reliability...conference paper 2015

Sutoh, A. (author), Maruyama, O. (author), Kanakiyo, H.T. (author), Sato, T. (author)This paper proposes the tunnel lining deterioration model which is based upon actual inspection data in order to carry out strategic maintenance and to rationalize life cycle cost analysis for tunnel structures. The evaluation value of deteriorating tunnel structures is a non-stationary stochastic process, and reliability problems of such...conference paper 2015

Sundell, J. (author), Rosén, L. (author), Norberg, T. (author), Wladis, D. (author), Alén, C. (author)Sub-surface constructions generally involve drainage of groundwater, which can induce land subsidence in compressible soil deposits and cause extensive damage costs in urban areas. A probabilistic framework, in accordance with the risk management framework outlined by the International Standard Organization (ISO), for assessing risks of...conference paper 2015

Vervoorn, R.R.E. (author), Dekker, H.R.E. (author)Rijkswaterstaat has recently stated that the use of GeoRM is obligatory for projects with major geotechnical risks. Underground construction of freeway's in high-profile areas, such as the business district Zuidas in Amsterdam or railway links in densely populated areas, always introduce major geotechnical risks. It is not uncommon for these...conference paper 2015

Griffith-Charles, Charisse (author), Sutherland, Michael (author)The theoretical methodology for the construction of a 3D cadastre can be an interesting academic exercise that is worthy of investigation. For individual countries or jurisdictions, however, the practical possibility of implementation must be supported by a discussion of the situational need and a cost-benefit analysis of the concept. This...conference paper 2011

Pinder, J. (author), Schmidt III, R. (author), Gibb, A. (author), Saker, J. (author)This paper explores the business case for designing more adaptable buildings, an issue that has, for the most part, been overlooked in the literature. It reviews some of the existing literature on adaptability and discusses the drivers for and barriers to designing buildings that are more adaptable. In doing so, it draws upon lessons from the...conference paper 2011

Hagmann, C. (author), Stoy, C. (author)As in many industrialized countries, the population of Germany is constantly getting older and smaller nowadays. These demographic changes cause adaptations of technical and social infrastructure in both quality and quantity, to ensure their aspects of economy and usability at long term. Therefore, urban development planning and municipal...conference paper 2011

Baarveld, M.Y. (author), Smit, M. (author)Due to technological, economic and spatial developments, various inner-city industrial areas have lost their former use and their original economic value. Many of these areas have elements of cultural-historical value. Preserving this cultural heritage means managing it for the benefit of current and future generations, and by doing so -...conference paper 2011

Chan, D.W.M. (author), Chan, J.H.L. (author), Lam, P.T.I. (author), Chan, A.P.C. (author)A scarcity of empirical research has been observed on risk mitigation measures for those construction projects procured by guaranteed maximum price contracts (GMP) and target cost contracts (TCC) worldwide. This paper aims to seek and examine the risk mitigation measures associated with GMP and TCC (GMP/TCC) construction projects through an...conference paper 2011

Aibinu, A.A. (author), Dassanayake, D. (author), Thien, V.C. (author)Pre-tender estimates are susceptible to inaccuracies (biases) because they are often prepared within a limited timeframe, and with limited information about project scope. Inaccurate estimation of project uncertainties is the underlying cause of project cost overruns in construction. Typically, cost engineers and quantity surveyors would add...conference paper 2011

Entrop, A.G. (author), Dewulf, G.P.M.R. (author)Financial appraisal is an important aspect in adopting techniques that reduce the (fossil) energy use of buildings. When financial appraisal of an energy technique takes place, fixed prices for the form and amount of energy are often used and are multiplied by the estimated amount of energy savings. However, after a certain time period an energy...conference paper 2011
