Self-compacting high-performance fiber concrete for foundations: Part 1 -experimental verification and design considerations

An investigation is carried out into the applicability of self-compacting high-performance fiber concrete (HPFC) in foundations. A concrete mixture has been designed with a concrete cube strength of about 110 MPa. The concrete contains 60 kg/m³ steel fibers. The properties of the HPFC developed are very suitable for structural...

Self-compacting high-performance fiber concrete for foundations: Part 2—Fiber orientation and distribution

An investigation was executed into the applicability of self-compacting high performance fiber concrete in foundations. The applied concrete has a concrete cube strength of about 110 MPa and contains 60 kg/m³ hooked-end steel fibers (<i>L</i>_<i>F</i> = 30 mm, <i>D</i>_<i>F</i> = 0.38 mm). This publication consists...

Dealing With Uncertainty in Early Health Technology Assessment: An Exploration of Methods for Decision Making Under Deep Uncertainty

Objectives: In early stages, the consequences of innovations are often unknown or deeply uncertain, which complicates early health economic modeling (EHEM). The field of decision making under deep uncertainty uses exploratory modeling (EM) in situations when the system model, input probabilities/distributions, and consequences are unknown or...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to develop an operational framework with guidelines and lessons to improve the current real estate portfolio disposal procedures of freeholds, based on empirical evidence from the banking sector. Design/methodology/approach: The empirical research is based on a comparative analysis of four case studies,...

Effects of energy-efficient renovation concepts on occupant behaviour and hence building performance

Dwellings and systems are becoming ever more complex. In achieving high energy performances, the interaction among user, building and systems plays an increasingly crucial role. We studied this interaction in 16 recently renovated low-energy dwellings, to advance the field in terms of methods, and to derive pointers for improved renovation...
