H-schools as the centre of the neighbourhood in the post-war Netherlands

Through both the lens of sustainability and current events, particularly the pandemic, there is an increasing awareness of the importance of adaptability and intensive use of buildings. In the Netherlands, one form of adaptability and intensive use emerged in the second half of the 20th century in school buildings. One of the main ideas is that...

Possibilities for treating produced water with ceramic membranes

Constant flux MF/UF filtration is preferred in real-world applications because it <br/>provides more consistent permeate flow rates than fixed transmembrane pressure studies. Particularly, little is understood about the fouling of ceramic membranes in constant flux filtration modes by nano-sized O/W emulsions. In this study, the effects of...

Analysis of extreme rainfall trends based on MEV method with 29 long data series

Since the mid-19th century global temperatures have increased significantly, so does the intensity of extreme rainfall. Previous studies have suggested that by the end of the century extreme rainfall intensity would increase by 10.5% and 28.2% for the low and high emission scenarios, and the centennial extreme rainfall would increase by 13.5%...

Food Island: Creating a Resilient Food System for the AMA

Governments and private and non-profit organisations from international to local levels have acknowledged the idea that more sustainable systems are required to reduce our ecological footprint (WWF, 2016, Jonkhoff, 2012). The food system is a very important aspect within our lives, socially as well as economically but it is also one of the most...

A Study of the Application of Safety Formats in Non-linear Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Tunnel Segment

The application of non-linear finite element analysis is important nowadays to simulate the real behavior of structure. A sort of non-linear finite element analysis with and without safety formats referring to Model Code 2010 is applied in this thesis, to study the FEM simulation of the shear capacity of reinforced concrete structure. A case...

Rhythm of the campus

This Geomatics project was carried out in commission of the Municipality of Rotterdam, Geofort Herwijnen and Facility Management of TU Delft. The research project and this report deliver important fundamental information for scientific/academic paper on Wifi tracking
