Wu, W. (author), Veljkovic, M. (author), Kolstein, M.H. (author), Maljaars, Johan (author), Pijpers, Richard (author)Fatigue cracks in the stiffener-to-deck plate connections of orthotropic bridge decks, initiating from the weld toe or root and propagating into the stiffener or weld throat, are experimentally and numerically studied. A statistical analysis of the structural stress is carried out using the experimental data. Automatic welded specimens show a...journal article 2024

Risang Aludityo, Risang (author)The Construction Industry holds an important role by contributing around 6% to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) based on data from Market Prospects. Despite this substantial contribution, numerous projects within the industry struggle to attain their objectives effectively. Project uniqueness, coupled with the impact of project complexity, leads...master thesis 2023

Omari, Firas (author)The use of welding is widely adopted to assemble structural components in the construction industry for many years. To ensure safety of these welded components, many fatigue tests have been conducted on many different shapes and configurations of welded connections to precisely assess the fatigue<br/>life. However, testing real-size structures...master thesis 2022

ARGYROULIS, KONSTANTINOS (author)Inefficient installation of pile foundations may lead to high risks of material damage, inadequate pile capacity, and time delays that can have significant financial implications to any kind of project, both onshore and offshore. Therefore, there is high demand for a comprehensive driveability analysis that considers key aspects of the...master thesis 2022

Urbanus, Francine C.A. (author), Grayson, Jane (author), Harlaar, J. (author), Simic, Milena (author)Load modifying gait retraining strategies, such as changing the foot progression angle (FPA) to toe-in and toe-out gait, are used for people with medial knee osteoarthritis. The FPA can be measured using a pressure sensitive walkway (PSW), but inertial measurement units (IMUs) are considered more suitable for clinical use. This study...journal article 2022

Andringa, Lise (author)The goal of this research is to provide insights into the relationships between complexities and risks to be used in risk analysis and management of complex construction projects. In preparation of the exploratory survey, a literature study is performed. After that, the CBRAT (Complexity Based Risk Assessment Technique) is designed to capture...master thesis 2021

Lashley, Christopher H. (author), Van Der Meer, Jentsje (author), Bricker, J.D. (author), Altomare, Corrado (author), Suzuki, T. (author), Hirayama, Katsuya (author)The state-of-The-Art formulas for mean wave overtopping (q) assessment typically require wave conditions at the toe of the structure as input. However, for structures built either on land or in very shallow water, obtaining accurate estimates of wave height and period at the structure toe often proves difficult and requires the use of either...journal article 2021

Etemad-Shahidi, Amir (author), Bali, Meysam (author), van Gent, M.R.A. (author)Toe design is an important task for coastal engineers as it ensures the stability of the main armor layer and prevents scour in front of the armor slope. Several laboratory experiments have been conducted to investigate the toe stability using different testing approaches, i.e. damage due to a single test condition and cumulative damage due...journal article 2021

Mickers, Youp (author)Gait event detection allows for insight into one’s gait pattern, an invaluable aid in rehabilitation. Current methods often rely on measured acceleration and rarely on position measurements [3]–[6]. In this paper we propose 4 novel gait detection methods based on the position of the Center of Mass (one approach being causal and thus suitable for...master thesis 2020

Shafieefar, Mehdi (author), Shekari, Mohammad Reza (author), Hofland, Bas (author)Reshaping berm breakwaters have been mainly designed and built for water depth less than 20 m. In such conditions, a toe structure may be needed to reduce bottom settlements and increase geotechnical stability in the loose subsoil condition. Also, a toe berm can be deployed to reduce the berm recession and increase the stability of the...journal article 2020

Liu, Rong (author), Zhao, Hao (author), Feng, Zhiqiang (author), Xin, H. (author), Liu, Yuqing (author)The headed stud connectors are widely used in a variety of innovative engineering applications of the infrastructure sector. The fatigue life of headed studs is significantly affected by the residual stress introduced from welding procedures. It is very important to develop a reliable numerical method to predict the fatigue performance of...journal article 2020

Scharfenberg, Felix (author)Context: SMEs make up the major share of the manufacturing and trading industry in Hong Kong. Recently, the industry is faced with growing environmental uncertainty that may result in new challenges, consequently giving rise to a different set of needs concerning B2B relationships. These needs may present opportunities for alternative B2B...master thesis 2019

de Prieëlle, Fabian (author)The Internet-of-Things has grown much in popularity over the past years, leading to the gathering of large amounts of pervasive and detailed data. This same trend is seen in the agriculture industry, where a lot of data can be collected on the cultivation methods. The agriculture industry is considered to be a strategically interesting industry...master thesis 2018

Langowski, Julian K.A. (author), Dodou, D. (author), Kamperman, Marleen (author), van Leeuwen, Johan L. (author)Tree frogs have the remarkable ability to attach to smooth, rough, dry, and wet surfaces using their versatile toe pads. Tree frog attachment involves the secretion of mucus into the pad-substrate gap, requiring adaptations towards mucus drainage and pad lubrication. Here, we present an overview of tree frog attachment, with focus on (i) the...review 2018

Sulastri, R. (author)Numerous studies on XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) have been conducted in the past two decades. However, the research on the dynamic issues during XBRL adoption and implementation stages are still left unaddressed. The aim of this study is to develop a framework of factors that influence the process of XBRL adoption and...master thesis 2016

Verpoorten, S.P.K. (author), Ockeloen, W.J. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)Since 1977 dedicated studies are made to the stability of rubble mound break-water toes under wave attack. A large number of stability methods is available, but prediction accuracy is low and validity ranges are too small for use in prac-tice. In this research the decoupled model approach is used to evaluate predic-tion capacity of existing toe...conference paper 2015

Verpoorten, S.P.K. (author)Seaports are often protected against waves and currents by rubble mound breakwaters. At the interface between outer breakwater slope and seabed a toe structure is often build, which provides stability to the outer slope. The toe consists of a relatively small heap of rock. Since 1977 dedicated studies are made to the stability of these rock...master thesis 2015

Peters, R.B.M. (author)This study investigates the stability of rocks in breakwater toes. Previous studies have coupled the toe stability directly to the wave height, which is not physically accurate. In this study the local hydraulic conditions at the point of incipient motion are considered. First the forces acting on a single stone are identified. Thereafter the...master thesis 2014

Peters, R.B.M. (author)The IH2VOF model can be used to simulate wave-structure interaction. This additional thesis aims to evaluate the performance of the IH2VOF model for determining the local hydraulic properties (flow velocities and water pressures) near the toe structure of a rubble mound breakwater. Firstly, the model is introduced and the appropriate...student report 2014
