Lu, S. (author)In the graduation lab Strategic Architectural Design Development (SADD), students will design a new UN Headquarters of Sustainability in New York City. Sustainable developments and measurements are being taken all over the world, in all sorts and kinds. Still many steps need to be taken and conflicting interests need to be solved, but the...master thesis 2013

Huppes, Niek (author)After more than 85 years, the iconic Afsluitdijk is in need of a reinforcement. During the latest safety assessment of Rijkswaterstaat the dike did not meet the standards at two components; the amount of wave overtopping (>10 l/m/s) and armour stability. This research goes into detail about the overtopping on the Afsluitdijk. In the new...master thesis 2019

Van Doorn, R. (author)Research into hydraulic loads by a bow thruster. The hydraulic loads on the slope at an open quay construction on piles is investigated. The propeller (bow thruster) jet induces hydraulic loads on the bed, which could result in scour holes and damage to the quay construction. Performed scale model tests provide details about the hydraulic loads...master thesis 2012

Kramer, R. (author)Momentarily the determination of the static stability of rock on mild slopes can be split in roughly two paths, the empirical and the physical approach. However, both the approaches have their limitations from which one could conclude that neither approach is currently an accurate description of the stability of rock on mild slopes under wave...master thesis 2016

Wendt, Emiel (author)The static stability of stones on mild slopes under wave attack is investigated in this research. The first part of the research is focused on reproducing the physical scale model tests regarding profile change of Kramer (2016) numerically with the model XBeach-G. The erosion profiles modelled with the bed-load transport formulas of Nielsen ...master thesis 2017

Le, T.N. (author)Prototype single layer armour units on a breakwater slope are observed to break. To predict when breakage occurs, the objective of this research project is to obtain knowledge on, and measurements of the rocking behaviour and failure mode of single layer armour units. A single cube on a breakwater slope is subjected to investigations. An...master thesis 2016

Steijlen, Florentine (author)In this report, an experimental investigation of the influence of currents on submarine slope stability is presented for the Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier case. Slope instabilities, including liquefaction failures, have been observed in the scour hole slopes near this barrier. The currents above the sloping bed are expected to initiate the...master thesis 2019

Guo, J. (author)This thesis presents a Delay Locked Loop(DLL) based Single Slope ADC. Compared to the convertional Single Slope ADC, the readout speed is increased by 16 times. A DLL is designed with a start-controlled Phase Frequency Detector (PFD), a differential ended Charge Pump (CP) and fully differential Delay Cells (DC). The multi-stage comparator with...master thesis 2011

Kentrop, Daniël (author)The construction of a dike improvement often causes a decrease in reliability during construction. Raising a dike may give rise to excess pore water pressures in the subsoil, resulting in a temporal strength decrease. Observing the survival of such a loading condition might provide information on the strength of a dike. Therefore, this research...master thesis 2021

Bleeker, V.R. (author)To ensure efficient and reliable operation of power amplifiers it is very important to precisely measure and control the power of the signal they transmit. A device most often used to do precise power measurements of RF systems is the so-called RF power detector. As this detector is used as measurement device the precise measurement ability of...master thesis 2012

Joosten, Stan (author)The introduction of the new 'Waterwet' led to the retesting of a lot of primary flood defences within the Netherlands, sequentially certifying a lot of levees as unsafe regarding inner slope stability. To test or design a levee an adequate amount of soil investigation is required to indicate the presence of different soil types, stratification...master thesis 2018

De Visser, M.M. (author)Environmental awareness and sustainable development have been popular themes over the last few years. To improve dikes along the estuaries in Zeeland (The Netherlands) where a high foreland with natural areas of salt marshes is present, alternatives to stone revetments are examined. From a natural and aesthetic point of view, a slope covered...master thesis 2007

Verhoef, R.M. (author)The subject of this master's thesis stems from a lack of design rules in the current regulations for dolphins located in sloping ground. Dolphins are very common objects in Dutch waterways, of which a large part are located in sloping ground. The lack of design rules causes difficulties between clients and contractors, possible unfavourable...master thesis 2015

Hu, W. (author)In this work a 9-bit, 33MHz hybrid SAR single-slope ADC for element-level digitization in 2D ultrasound transducer arrays is presented. This hybrid architecture consists of a 5-bit SAR ADC followed by a 4-bit single-slope ADC. In the comparator design, the dynamic comparator and the continuous-time comparator for the SAR and single-slope...master thesis 2015

Mustaqim, Mustaqim (author)The use of geotextile for slope strengthening was proven based on the investigation and report by Kuwano, Miyata, and Koseki (2014). Therefore, this research examines the impact of geotextile application on slope stability in newly-elevated area in Yuriage, Natori City, Japan. This project discussed the analysis of geotextile-reinforced slope by...master thesis 2018

van der Doef, Laura (author)With the shift of the safety standards for levees from exceedance probability (standard 1996) to flooding probability (new standard), the part of the levee failure process after the initial occurrence of a failure mechanism becomes more important for the calculation of the strength and thus, reliability of the levee cross-section. Interactions...master thesis 2019

Mous, B.C. (author)Against the background of enhanced hydraulic loads due to climate change there will be a need for improvement of the flood defence system in the Netherlands in the future. These days there is a growing interest in grass as a dike cover because it is a cheap and a sustainable dike protection. Yet at the moment there is a hiatus in the knowledge...master thesis 2010

Barghouthi, Omar (author)Soil properties used to determine the stability of soil structures are variable in nature. Uncertainty in soil can be attributed to its inherent variability, as well as sources of error encountered while estimating the magnitude of its properties. The modelling of these uncertainties will produce more meaningful solutions when evaluating...master thesis 2017
