van IJsseldijk, J.E. (author), Brackenhoff, Joeri (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)The data-driven Marchenko method is able to redatum wavefields to arbitrary locations in the subsurface, and can, therefore, be used to isolate zones of specific interest. This creates a new reflection response of the target zone without interference from over- or underburden reflectors. Consequently, the method is well suited to obtain a...journal article 2023

Alcañiz Moya, A. (author), Nikam, Maitheli M. (author), Snow, Yitzi (author), Isabella, O. (author), Ziar, H. (author)Monitoring residential scale photovoltaic (PV) systems is important for maximizing the energy yield and detecting malfunctions. Analytical-based approaches are not reliable in these systems because of the lack of on-site measurements and detailed PV system specifications. In this paper, a collaborative approach is proposed which does not...journal article 2022

Anupam, K. (author), Liu, X. (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author), Apostolidis, P. (author), Erkens, S. (author), van Aggelen, M. (author)Membranes of sufficient bonding characteristics could improve the integrity of the multi-layer structures on orthotropic steel deck bridges (OSBDs), enhancing thus the structural response of these systems and, ultimately, their service life. In this research, full-scale experiments were performed at the LINTRACK accelerated pavement testing...journal article 2022

Macchiarulo, V. (author), Milillo, Pietro (author), Blenkinsopp, Chris E. (author), Reale, Cormac (author), Giardina, Giorgia (author)Worldwide, transport infrastructure is increasingly vulnerable to aging-induced deterioration and climate-related hazards. Often, inspection and maintenance costs far exceed the available resources, and numerous assets lack any rigorous structural evaluation. Space-borne synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) is a powerful remote...journal article 2022

van der Bent, H.S. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author), Meijer, A. (author), Mouter, N. (author)The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) enhanced the sustainable improvement of dwellings in the European Union. Member states formulated measurable goals to improve the housing stock, and monitoring systems were developed to give insights into the improvements. In the Netherlands, non-profit housing associations agreed to improve...journal article 2021

Larsen, R.B. (author), Baksteen, Ruud (author), Atasoy, B. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Container transport requires real-time control and a high degree of cooperation to alleviate disturbances and perform smoothly without unnecessary environmental impact and monetary losses. The involved operators are, however, often reluctant to cooperate as they fear loosing valuable information and autonomy, eventually leading their clients...journal article 2021

Akgün, O.C. (author), Nanbakhsh, K. (author), Giagka, Vasiliki (author), Serdijn, W.A. (author)For mm-sized implants incorporating silicon integrated circuits, ensuring lifetime operation of the chip within the corrosive environment of the body still remains a critical challenge. For the chip's packaging, various polymeric and thin ceramic coatings have been reported, demonstrating high biocompatibility and barrier properties. Yet, for...journal article 2020

(author), Isabella, O. (author)Photovoltaic (PV) technology has the potential to be integrated on many surfaces in various environments, even on water. Modeling, design, and realization of a floating PV system have more challenges than conventional rooftop or freestanding PV system. In this work, we introduce two innovative concepts for floating bifacial PV systems,...journal article 2020

Dalgiç, K.D. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author), Ilki, Alper (author), Broere, W. (author)The current article presents a case study of the settlement response of the historic Hoca Pasha Mosque that involves uncertainties arising from the complex excavation activities, soil properties, building materials, and geometry and the presence of pre-existing cracks in the mosque’s walls. The objective is to demonstrate the added value of a...journal article 2018

Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), van der Veen, C. (author), De Boer, Ane (author), van der Ham, Herbert (author)In 1997, the Second Stichtse Bridge was built in the Netherlands using the balanced cantilever method. The use of high-strength concrete was proposed. At that time, the long-term behaviour of this material was not known, and no code provisions were applicable. Therefore, it was proposed to monitor the material behaviour and the deflections of...journal article 2018

(author)Fibre optic distributed temperature sensing (DTS) is widely applied in Earth sciences. Many applications require a spatial resolution higher than that provided by the DTS instrument. Measurements at these higher resolutions can be achieved with a fibre optic cable helically wrapped on a cylinder. The effect of the probe construction, such as its...journal article 2016

Van Oort, N. (author), Sparing, D. (author), Brands, T. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author)Due to reduced budgets, higher political expectations and increasing competition between operators, there is growing pressure on public transport companies and authorities to improve their operational efficiency. It is thus of utter importance for them to be able to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks and potentials in their public transport...journal article 2015

Advances in reliability analysis of the piping failure mechanism of flood defences in the NetherlandsSchweckendiek, T. (author), Kanning, W. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)Piping is one of the main failure mechanisms for flood defences. This paper gives an overview of recent developments in the reliability analysis for this mechanism in the Netherlands. These comprise new approaches in the treatment of heterogeneity of the subsoil with respect to the failure process, the inclusion of information from field...journal article 2014

Kirichek, O. (author), Ghose, R. (author), Heller, H.K.J. (author)We investigate the ability of complex electrical measurements to monitor the CO2 front propagation within brine-saturated reservoir rock. A laboratory facility has been developed to perform CO2-brine substitution experiments under reservoir conditions. In the present study, CO2 is injected into a brine-saturated core while the complex electrical...journal article 2013

Almagro Vidal, C. (author), Van der Neut, J. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Changes in the subsurface can be imaged by subtracting seismic reflection data at two different states, one serving as the initial survey or base, and the second as the monitor survey. Conventionally, the reflection data are acquired by placing active seismic sources at the acquisition surface. Alternatively, these data can be acquired from...journal article 2013

Draganov, D.S. (author), Ghose, R. (author), Angelov, P. (author), Arts, R. (author)One of the targets of time-lapse seismic monitoring of CO2 sequestration is to determine the parts of the reservoir reached by the injected CO2 and to estimate their saturation. Such information could be extracted from the time-lapse measurement using AVO or impedance information. But non-repeatability of the source positions and time-lapse...journal article 2013
