de Boer, A. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author), van der Veen, C. (author), Belletti, Beatrice (author)At the previous EURO-C conference, a guideline for nonlinear finite analysis and safety assessment of concrete structures was presented. This guideline is a results of a cooperation between the Delft University of Technology, the University of Parma and the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment. The nonlinear finite element...conference paper 2018

(author)The attenuation coefficient (AC) is a property related to the microstructure of tissue on a wavelength scale that can be estimated from optical coherence tomography (OCT) data. Since the OCT signal sensitivity is affected by the finite spectrometer/detector resolution called roll-off and the shape of the focused beam in the sample arm,...conference paper 2018

Ensink, S.W.H. (author), van der Veen, C. (author), Hordijk, D.A. (author), Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), van der Ham, Herbert (author), de Boer, A. (author)In the Netherlands, approximately 150 prestressed T-beam bridges with cast-in-between decks and mainly built in the sixties are still in service. Upon assessment, the prestressed beams often do not fulfil the design codes requirements, whereas upon inspection, they show no signs of distress. For the assessment, additional load transfer...conference paper 2018

(author)Connecting to the trend of harmonization of port developments with nature, this paper presents a framework for the explicit inclusion of ecosystem based alternatives in the early planning and design stages of seaport developments. The framework aims to shift the focus from offsetting environmental impacts afterwards to avoidance and reduction of...conference paper 2018

Hagenaars, Gerben (author), de Vries, S. (author), Luijendijk, Arjen (author), de Boer, W.P. (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author)Measured trends and variability in shoreline position are used by coastal managers, scientists and engineers to understand and monitor coastal systems. This paper presents a new and generic method for automated shoreline detection from the largely unexplored collection of publicly available satellite imagery. The position of the obtained...journal article 2018

Athanasiou, Panagiotis (author), de Boer, W.P. (author), Tonnon, Pieter Koen (author), Yoo, Jeseon (author), de Schipper, M.A. (author), de Vries, S. (author), Ranasinghe, Roshanka (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author)Nearshore sandbar patterns can affect the hydrodynamics and, as a result, the beach morphodynamics in the nearshore zone. Hence, spatial and temporal variability in the sandbars can influence beach accretion and erosion. Understanding the variability of the sandbar system can therefore be crucial for informed coastal zone management. So far, the...journal article 2018

(author)Background: Inhalation of particulate matter, as part of air pollution, is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Nanoparticles (< 100nm) are likely candidates for triggering inflammatory responses and activation of coagulation pathways because of their ability to enter lung cells and pass bronchial mucosa. We tested the...journal article 2017

Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), van der Veen, C. (author), de Boer, A (author)The loads that are used for the assessment of existing reinforced concrete slab bridges are the self-weight, superimposed loads, and distributed and concentrated live loads. As such, the shear capacity of reinforced concrete slabs under a combination of distributed and concentrated live loads is a topic of practical relevance. For slabs...journal article 2017

Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), Koekkoek, R.T. (author), Hordijk, D.A. (author), de Boer, A. (author)Proof load tests of bridges can be very useful for structures with a lack of information, or for structures of which the effect of material degradation is difficult to assess. Contrary to diagnostic load testing, proof load testing is not well-defined in current standards in terms of required load and analysis of measurements. The risk...journal article 2017

de Boer, C. (author), Snelder, M. (author), van Nes, R. (author), van Arem, B. (author)Conventional travel time reliability assessment has evolved from road segments to route level. However, a connection between origin and destination usually consists of multiple routes, thereby providing the option to choose. Having alternatives can compensate for deterioration of a single route, therefore this study assesses the reliability and...journal article 2017

Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), Yang, Y. (author), van der Veen, C. (author), de Boer, A. (author), Hordijk, D.A. (author)Loading protocols and acceptance criteria are available in the literature for load tests on buildings. For bridges, proof load tests are interesting when crucial information about the structure is missing, or when the uncertainties about the structural response are large. The acceptance criteria can then be applied to evaluate if further loading...journal article 2017

Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), de Boer, A. (author), van der Veen, C. (author)Existing reinforced concrete solid slab bridges in the Netherlands are re-assessed for shear based on a Unity Check: the ratio of the shear stress caused by the applied loads to the shear capacity of the concrete cross-section. The governing shear stress resulting from the self-weight, weight of the wearing surface, distributed and concentrated...journal article 2017

Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), van der Veen, C. (author), de Boer, A. (author), Hordijk, D.A. (author)Proof load testing is part of the engineering practice, and can be particularly useful for the rating of existing bridges. This paper addresses how reliability-based concepts can be used in combination with proof load testing, and discusses how this approach differs from the current practice for proof load testing. Whereas the calculation...journal article 2017

Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), van der Veen, C. (author), de Boer, A. (author), Hordijk, D.A. (author)Load testing of bridges is a practice that is as old as their construction. In the past, load testing gave the traveling public a feeling that a newly opened bridge is safe. Nowadays, the bridge stock in many countries is aging, and load testing is used for the assessment of existing bridges. This paper aims at giving an overview of the current...journal article 2017
