DC project Bijzondere Belastingen: Soil response during an explosion in a tunnel

Meijers, P. (author)

In this Delft Cluster work package “Bijzondere Belastingen” (CT01.21) the consequences of an accident with the transport of explosion hazardous goods are considered: BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion) and gas explosion. These phenomena have a low probability of occurrence, but might have immense consequences. Therefore, a...

Statische verweking talud: Handleiding Windows versie SLIQ2D

Van den Ham, G. (author)

SLIQ2D is een quasi-2D computerprogramma waarmee het optreden voorspeld kan worden van een verwekingsvloeiing ofwel een instabiliteit van een onderwatertalud ten gevolge van verweking, gegeven de taludhelling, relatieve dichtheid en materiaaleigenschappen van het zand. Dit programma is in 1994 door Grondmechanica Delft ontwikkeld deels in...

A Hybrid Approach to Combine Physically Based and Data-Driven Models in Simulating Sediment Transportation

Sewagudde, S. (author)

The objective of this study is to develop a methodology for hybrid modelling of sedimentation in a coastal basin or large shallow lake where physically based and data driven approaches are combined. This research was broken down into three blocks. The first block explores the possibility of approximating a physically based model using a data...

Breach growth in clay-dikes

Zhu, Y. (author)

Numerous flood disasters occur every year worldwide, mostly resulting from failure of dikes, some with catastrophic outcomes. Examples are the dike failures along the Yangtze River in China in 1931 due to heavy rainstorms and those in the Netherlands in 1953 due to a storm surge at the North Sea. Both floods induced many deaths and enormous...

Treating socio-technical systems as engineering systems: Some conceptual problems

Kroes, P.A. (author), Franssen, M. (author), Van de Poel, I. (author), Ottens, M. (author)

Systems engineering has been plagued by the problem of how to separate a system from its environment or context, in particular from its social context. We propose to include anything in the system that is necessary for performing its intended function and that may be the object of design. For certain engineering systems, such as civil aviation...

Kinetics of the β-AlFeSi to α-Al(FeMn)Si transformation in Al-Mg-Si alloys

Kuijpers, N.C.W. (author)

Among all the process steps of the production of aluminium extrusion products, the homogenisation of Al-Mg-Si aluminium billets is a very important one, since it gives significant changes in the microstructure of the alloy, leading to an improved extrudability of the material and improved properties of the final extruded product. During this...
