Composite Floors: A Theoretical Research into the Design of Steel-Concrete Composite Floors with a Bigger Unpropped Span of 7.2 m

In the Netherlands buildings are designed using a grid with multiples of 3.6 meter. Within these designs floor spans of 7.2 meter are popular (double grid size). The deep decks of composite floors at this moment in time are designed to reach an unpropped span of 5.5 meter. This master research is focused on finding a possible deck design for a...

A Multidisciplinary approach to Tsunami Risk Management: A proposal for a framework based on a case study of Iquique

In this multidisciplinary project a proposal for a framework for tsunami risk management in Chile, has been developed. This was done using Iquique in the north of Chile as a case study. Solutions for improvement of current practice have been searched within specific activity areas of hazard management: prediction, mitigation and response....
