Taylor Parkins, S.K. (author), Murthy, Swathi (author), Picioreanu, C. (author), Kühl, Michael (author)Coral reefs are constructed by calcifying coral animals that engage in a symbiosis with dinoflagellate microalgae harboured in their tissue. The symbiosis takes place in the presence of steep and dynamic gradients of light, temperature and chemical species that are affected by the structural and optical properties of the coral and their...journal article 2021

van Dijkhuizen, M.J. (author), Vrijhoef, R. (author), Bakker, H.L.M. (author)Despite the efforts of governments and firms, the construction industry is trailing other industries in labour productivity. Construction companies are interested in increasing their labour productivity, particularly when demand grows and construction firms cope with labour shortages. Off-site construction has proved to be a favourable policy...conference paper 2021

Ruis, Sidi (author)The ongoing worldwide energy transition has prompted significant scientific interest in energy storage. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries have become a standard for energy storage in mobile devices and electric vehicles for their mass-energy density. While industry standard lithium-ion cells are currently based on liquid electrolytes, solid...bachelor thesis 2020

Spannenburg, Trevor (author)Amsterdam and many other cities consist of a network of old quay walls, which sometimes have been constructed over a century ago. A large uncertainty exists concerning the current safety of these quay walls and their remaining service lifetime. In the current framework for the assessment of old urban quay walls, the influence of timber creep in...master thesis 2020

van Gils, Martijn (author)Pre-piling templates are often used in the offshore industry to ensure the vertical installation of foundation piles for jacket structures. Boskalis is currently preparing a project that uses these templates in the Taiwan Strait, which is a region known for its relatively soft soils and seismic activity. Consequently, the piles are very long in...master thesis 2020

Barendsen, Lot (author)In the Netherlands, dikes are the most commonly used structures to retain water and provide safety against flooding. In order to ensure the safety of these dikes against a number of different failure mechanisms such as backwards erosion piping, wave overtopping and macro stability, a detailed safety assessment has been created. The focus of this...master thesis 2020

Schuur, Mitchell (author)In this thesis a parametric finite element model has been developed to predict the printability of concrete structures of arbitrary geometries. The model can be used to effectively explore design and process parameters to optimize printed objects. In addition, the model can be used to improve the reliability of the printing process, reduce the...master thesis 2020

Garimella, Raman (author), Moens, Siemen (author), Vleugels, Jochen (author), Huysmans, T. (author), Beyers, koen (author), Verwulgen, Stijn (author)Gaining aerodynamic advantage is crucial in cycling, wherein drag force can account for 90% of resistance to a cyclist. The interaction of wind with the moving human and cycling equipment also contributes to drag. Testing equipment for aerodynamic properties in a wind tunnel is of interest to manufacturers in the sports industry. However, a...conference paper 2020
