Methodology on Active Teaching and Learning on Open SDI

This report looks at different methods of active teaching and learning and the application of these methods at the partner universities of the SPIDER project. Different methods of on-campus and online teaching are presented and reports on experiences in their application at the partner universities are discussed. In combination with the results...

Showcase of Existing Active Teaching Practices

This report presents showcases of active teaching and learning in spatial data infrastructure education in the SPIDER partner universities. It includes detailed descriptions of the practices that have been implemented, as well as the results of the evaluation of the practices from an active teaching learning perspective.

Landscape Approach Greater Bay Area, China: Landscape architecture explorations in the Pearl River Delta, Beijing and Jakarta through eight MSc-graduation projects

This publication presents the results of a design lab that explores landscape-based design approaches for adaptive urban transformation in fast urbanizing deltas. While using design as a research strategy landscape architecture principles are explored that ensure water safety and inclusive socio-ecological design. The projects as presented here...

Extending the BEM for elastic contact problems beyond the half-space approach

In this paper we extend the range of applicability of the boundary element method (BEM) for concentrated elastic contact problems by computing the influence coefficients (ICs) numerically. These ICs represent the Green's function of the problem, i.e. the surface deformation due to unit loads. For the half-space they are analytically available....

Space subdivision for indoor applications

This report makes an overview of 2D, 2,5D and 3D approaches for indoor space subdivision for the purpose of indoor navigation. The report starts with a conceptual framework for indoor space utilisation. We introduce and elaborate on the concepts of indoor space (navigable and non-navigable), agent, activity, resource and modifier. Using these...

A fast nonlinear conjugate gradient based method for 3D frictional contact problems

This paper presents a fast numerical solver for a nonlinear constrained optimization problem, arising from a 3D frictional contact problem. It incorporates an active set strategy with a nonlinear conjugate gradient method. One novelty is to consider the tractions of each slip element in a polar coordinate system, and use azimuth angles as...

Large scale embankment breach experiments in flume

Embankment breaching is a composite process coupled by hydraulic processes and sediment transport processes. Erosion is the link in the interaction between breach flow and embankment material. Surface erosion starts in the initial breach phase and triggers the initial damage of the embankment. As the surface erosion develops completely, the...
