Drillenburg ook genaamd Lelijveld, M.P. (author)In light of the global attempts to reduce material use by the construction industry, this research focuses on combining topology optimisation with additive manufacturing of steel. It is investigated whether an automated procedure can be developed to generate reliable strut and tie models for reinforced concrete elements, while satisfying the...master thesis 2020

Overkamp, Nick (author)This thesis focuses on modelling a gravitational launch of gravity based foundations (GBF's) for offshore wind turbines. This is an extension of the Blyth Offshore Demonstrator project by BAM Infraconsult. To become more competitive in the offshore wind energy market, the construction of self-buoyant GBF's installed using the `float and submerge...master thesis 2019

Awasthy, Nikhil (author)The performance of concrete is usually governed by its "strength" and "stiffness" properties. As most of the concrete structures are usually designed to last in service for a period of about half a century, it is important to understand the development of these "strength" and "stiffness" properties over the course of time. Based on the standard...master thesis 2019

Volkov, Mykyta (author)Several researches have been done in the last decade about the possibility to “give a new life” to the second-hand reinforced concrete elements of a certain building which has been (fully/partly) disassembled. However, not often the actual technical detailing of their reuse practice are addressed. This study is primarily focused on proposing the...master thesis 2019

Danks, Brigitte (author)The aim of this thesis was to objectively and quantitatively assess the accuracy and robustness of two-dimensional sequentially linear analysis (SLA) in comparison to nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA), for a range of experiments of reinforced concrete structures with proportional and non-proportional loading schemes. Non-proportional...master thesis 2019

Falcon Bueno, Samuel Alejandro (author)Concrete consumption is one of the major environmental issues of our time. This building material is used twice as much as all the other building materials combined. Furthermore, the United Nations predicts that human global population will reach 10 billion inhabitants by 2050. Correspondingly, it is projected that due to global migration from...master thesis 2019

Raaphorst, Berend (author)Vacancy is and remains a serious problem in today's office landscape. Many spaces and buildings are unable to adapt to the modern knowledge economy is shifting towards. This project attempts to provide a solution for disconnected, vacant offices spaces, particularly through the integration of parametric architecture. The redevelopment of the...master thesis 2019

Łapaj, Szymon (author)Demology project investigates the potential of recycling concrete rubble from demolition of vacant buildings in Southern Limburg in Netherlands. With the "Demologies" research paper, collaborating with local recycling company I analyze typologies that were demolished in Parkstad recently, to compare them later, trace material flow within wider...master thesis 2019

Sarri, Alkyoni (author)The building and construction sector play a key role in achieving a sustainable development. In European countries, buildings are responsible for 40-45% of energy consumption, leading to significant amounts of CO2 emissions. The implementation of reusable structures lead to less waste and harmful emissions to the environment. The main purpose of...master thesis 2019

van Rijswijk, Tom (author)Construction and demolition waste form a significant problem in terms of environmental pollution and material depletion. Concrete, as part of construction and demolition waste, is already responsible for 9% of the total anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. Consequently, it is important to alleviate the environmental stress of concrete by...bachelor thesis 2019

Overtoom, Jelle (author)A relatively new and not rather common technique in construction industry is the use of 3D printers to print architectural structures and buildings. Nowadays, parts of the printed object are build in inside environments, where after the parts have to be transported to their desired location, which is very costly and time consuming. A solution...master thesis 2019

Zanetti, Erik (author)To date, an unprecedented number of 65 million people around the world have been displaced. Of this, 25.4 million are refugees. In Europe, almost three million people claimed asylum in the EU between 2015 and 2016. However there has been relatively little discussion within the architectural community as to how architecture should engage with and...master thesis 2019

Knuvers, Peter Bart (author)When engineers at Tunnel Engineering Consultants (TEC) used the Eurocode 2 (EC2) for the verification of flexural cracks in cross sections of immersed tunnel elements, they found out that there was more reinforcement needed for crack width limitation than for tensile strength of the reinforced concrete. This raised questions, namely whether the...master thesis 2018

Montenij, Nick (author)In this thesis, existing concrete municipal slab bridges are regarded. Many of these bridges were designed and built in the 1960s and 1970s. These bridges are still in service, and subjected to higher and more frequent loads than at the time of design. This leads to uncertainties in the safety of these bridges. Many municipalities become...master thesis 2017

Roghair, Charlotte (author)In the year 2006, Delft University of Technology started researching ‘Strain hardening Self-healing concrete’ (SSC). The reason for this research was the desire to increase the durability of concrete. This depends mostly on the reinforcement.<br/> To ensure a certain lifespan of concrete structures, a minimum cover depth has to be applied....master thesis 2017

Cleveringa, Enno (author)SCOPE - Design thinking is the most used method of design within the faculty of design engineering. Design thinking methodology has three pillars, technical feasibility, user desirability and business viability. Every designer should design on the limits of new technology, make products that people want to use, all while maintaining a feasible...master thesis 2017

Seleridis, Georgios (author)This internship was part of a programme that has been going on since 2012, and is called ‘NL-LAB’, standing for National Living Lab. This program deals with a very large database from asphalt tests and measurements, both in labs and in the field, provided by the contractors that cooperate with RWS. The questions set at the initiation of the...student report 2016
