Comparison of design methods for quay walls: Based on measured deformations in Eemshaven Groningen

The aim of this research is to investigate which design method results in the best approximation of the deformations of a quay wall consisting of an anchored combined wall with relieving platform, looking at the elastoplastic method and the finite element method. The elastoplastic method is performed with the program D-Sheet Piling and the...

Integrating end-of-life wind turbine blades into a variety of building layers through multiple use cycles – a strategy to maximize the lifetime of wasted materials; a case study in Eemshaven

An increasing massive volume of wind turbine blades are coming to end-of-life in the Netherlands. These components contain mostly fibre-reinforced plastics, which has been banned from landfill and incineration. Since then, companies and institutions have spent their efforts to expand the lifetime of this material by developing a circular wind...

LNG-terminal nabij de Eemshaven

De doelstellingen van dit afstudeerwerk kunnen als volgt worden omschreven: - 1. het beoordelen van al diè aspekten, welke hebben meegewogen in de beslissing van de Regering en de Tweede Kamer der staten Generaal om de Eemshaven als aanlandingsplaats voor het LNG aan te wijzen; - 2. het vinden van een geschikte plaats om het LNG te verschepen,...
