Helmons, R.L.J. (author)There is an expected increase in demand of critical raw materials, e.g. nickel and cobalt, mainly driven by the shift towards renewable energy solutions and the increase in production of electric vehicles. That trend has raised the interests for the mining of polymetallic nodules. The most extensive nodule depostions are found on the abyssal...conference paper 2022

Rukanova, B.D. (author), Tan, Y. (author), Hamerlinck, Robin (author), Heijmann, Frank (author), Ubacht, J. (author)Circular economy and sustainability are high on the political agendas of governments. Governments, but also other actors like banks, insurance companies, and auditing firms play a key role in setting (regulatory) requirements, instruments and incentives, as well as monitoring mechanisms to stimulate and monitor CE activities. Governance of CE...conference paper 2021

Martins, Joana E. (author), Hooper, A.J. (author), Hanssen, R.F. (author)After decades of oil, gas, and coal exploitation, we have learned about some of the unpleasant aftereffects of subsurface resource exploration. Adverse long-term impacts, some known during exploration periods, others only afterwards, may include induced seismicity, land subsidence, or even sinkholes. While geothermal is currently seen as a...conference paper 2021

Lukina, A. (author), Schilling, Christian (author), Henzinger, Thomas A. (author)Neural-network classifiers are trained to achieve high prediction accuracy. However, their performance still suffers from frequently appearing inputs of unknown classes. As a component of a cyber-physical system, the classifier in this case can no longer be reliable and is typically retrained. We propose an algorithmic framework for monitoring...conference paper 2021

Shishkov, Boris (author), Hristozov, Stefan (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)We observe a world of increasing anxiety due to natural and man-made disasters, pandemics, andmilitary conflicts. Such disruptive events lead to decreased infrastructure and personnel availability; still, infrastructure and personnel are essential for keeping society running, and for addressing the effects of disruptions. We argue that drone...conference paper 2020

Akgün, O.C. (author), Nanbakhsh, K. (author), Giagka, Vasiliki (author), Serdijn, W.A. (author)One key obstacle in employing silicon integrated circuits in flexible implants is ensuring a long-term operation of the chip within the wet corrosive environment of the body. For this reason, throughout the years, various biocompatible insulating materials have been proposed, yet, evaluating their long-term encapsulation performance on...conference paper 2019

Kovačević, Meho Saša (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Stipanović Oslaković, Irina (author), Librić, Lovorka (author)The 189.50 m long Bobova tunnel constructed in 2005 is located on the D404 state highway and passes under a part of the Vežica – Sušak town area in Rijeka. The overburden above the tunnel pipe is between 2 m to 18 m thick. The rock mass along the tunnel route is made up of karst deposits (transient carbonate breccia, dolomite and limestone...conference paper 2018

Koelewijn, A.R. (author), Bridle, R. (author)Dams and dikes are both water-retaining earth embankments. These are vulnerable to internal erosion but specific differences lead to varying vulnerabilities to different types of internal erosion: • Dams are usually zoned, with potential filtering capability to arrest piping if it is initiated, while dikes are more commonly unzoned and incapable...conference paper 2017

Filippidou, F. (author), Nieboer, N.E.T. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)Energy renovations offer unique opportunities to increase the energy efficiency of the built environment and for the existing housing stock, they are the most important solution. Usually, energy savings are based on modelling calculations. However, recent research has shown that the predicted energy consumption differs largely from the actual...conference paper 2017

(author)Ecosystems are providing a stream of essential goods and services for the national socio-economic prosperity and welfare; paradoxically, these services have to suffer a high vulnerability against the increasingly uncontrolled use of human beings. World-wide researchers and authorities are working to ensure the sustainability of nature; and...conference paper 2015

Pot, R. (author), Roelse, F.P. (author), Van der Meer, M.T. (author), Nushi, B.R.I. (author), Nelemans, J.P. (author)The application of the Observational Method can contribute to an economic construction process and effective geotechnical risk management. Current project management practices and control of construction works lead to unfavourable conditions of its application. Throughout the realization of infrastructure, understanding of project risks and...conference paper 2015

Galenkamp, H.F. (author), Bosma, C.F. (author)Designing challenges engineers to develop both economically attractive and safe designs. This might seem a paradox, but with the application of the observational method, wherein safety is checked by real-time monitoring, economic design and safety are united. The observational method is recently successfully applied in the Netherlands during the...conference paper 2015

Rijneveld, B. (author), Jacobse, J.A. (author)A new lifting bridge is being constructed crossing the river Oude Maas in the Rotterdam harbour area in the Netherlands. Since foundation deformations of the main piers have a large influence on the performance of the superstructure, extensive deformation analyses have been performed during the design phase. In order to minimise the risks and...conference paper 2015

van Dalen, J.H. (author), Servais, R. (author), Boone, D.C. (author)The A2 tunnel in Maastricht has been built within a dry building pit with a maximum depth of 22 meters with sheet pile walls, suspended in a cement bentonite trench supported by struts at 2 to 4 levels. Dewatering is done by deepwells. The excavation reaches into Limestone layers so the maximum mobilized passive resistance of the sheet pile wall...conference paper 2015
