Mooney, M. (author), Grasmick, J. (author), Prantil, E. (author), Thompson, A. (author)Ground, building and utility deformation monitoring is a well-accepted and required practice for underground construction works in urban environments. The availability of real-time monitoring data during construction allows stakeholders to stay ahead of potential problems, to make decisions prior to damage occurrence, and ultimately to reduce...conference paper 2015

Romeo, S. (author), Kieffer, D.S. (author), di Matteo, L. (author)The present work shows and discusses the GBInSAR measurements for the Ingelsberg area, where one of the most dangerous landslide of Salzburg region is located (Bad Hofgastein – Austria). It is a rockfall developing on an area of about 40000 m2 which is characterized by the outcropping of anti-dip stratified green and calc-mica schists. The...conference paper 2015

Allaart, A.P. (author), Portengen, C. (author)In the preparation and construction stages of the underground car park beneath Kruisplein with diaphragm walls, risk management played an important role. After a description of the structure and the construction, the preventive measures that were invented and carried out are summarised. These relate to the organisation of the project ...conference paper 2015

Smits, E.P.T. (author)Looking back over a period of 10 years of underground works, geotechnical risk management has matured and has definitively contributed to the success of geotechnical projects in Rotterdam. But, what exactly was it that made geotechnical risk management successful? Looking back, and analysing the process, 8 habits of the (geotechnical) risk...conference paper 2015

Cuerda, E. (author), Guerra Santin, O. (author), Neila Gonzalez, F.J. (author), Romero Herrera, N.A. (author)Recent research has shown large differences between the expected and the actual energy consumption in buildings. The differences have been attributed partially, to the assumptions made during the design phase of buildings when simulation methods are employed. More accurate occupancy profiles on building operation could help to carry out more...conference paper 2015

Festa, D. (author)The thesis investigates the mechanical equilibrium of a Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) driving in soft soil. The interaction between the TBM-shield and the soil is also investigated. The analysis is based on monitoring data gathered during the construction of the Hubertus tunnel in The Hague, Netherlands. The monitoring activities during tunnel...doctoral thesis 2015

Majcen, D. (author), Itard, L.C.M. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)In 2002 EU adopted the Energy Performance of Buildings directive which was subsequently adopted by the member states. However, more than a decade later, no national registers of certificates have become available publicly or to research institutions in order to give feedback on the introduced regulation. By exploring the 4 million certificates...conference paper 2014

Schaller, A.M. (author), Hunziker, J.W. (author), Streich, R. (author), Drijkoningen, G.G. (author)We investigate potential benefits of measuring the vertical electric field component in addition to the routinely measured horizontal electric field components in onshore time-lapse controlled-source electromagnetics. Synthetic electromagnetic data based on a model of the Schoonebeek onshore oil field are used. We confirm that the vertical...conference paper 2014

Daelman, M.R.J. (author)Since 1750, the year that commonly marks the start of the Industrial Revolution, the atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide have risen about 40 %, 150 % and 20 %, respectively, above the pre-industrial levels due to human activity (IPCC (2013) Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis.

Hermans, L.M. (author), Maat, J. (author), Haasnoot, M. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author)New planning approaches put new requirements on evaluation. A recent innovation in the water domain is adaptive delta management (ADM). ADM supports long-term planning in the face of uncertainty. This paper discusses the main considerations for the design of an evaluation system for ADM, departing from literature on evaluation systems, adaptive...conference paper 2014

Gard, W.F. (author), Van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author), Cabrera de Diego, M. (author)Hydraulic timber structures such as mooring poles, fenders, lock gates and jetties are widely-used in inner and sea harbours all over the world. In general these structures give satisfactory performance with regard to the technical requirements. Because of the harsh exposure conditions such as brackish and contaminated water, drying-out,...conference paper 2014

Schweckendiek, T. (author)Dikes and levees play a crucial role in flood protection in deltaic areas such as the Netherlands. Internal erosion piping or under-seepage is a major cause of levee failures and a main contributor to the probability of failure of river levees due to the large (mostly geotechnical) uncertainties. The present thesis investigates how geotechnical...doctoral thesis 2014

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

Hut, R.W. (author)Advances in scientific understanding follow a cyclic pattern where new observational techniques lead to novel theoretical insight. From novel theories, in turn, hypotheses are derived that cannot be tested using current observations and thus create a demand for even newer observational techniques. Hydrology has recently experienced a period of...doctoral thesis 2013

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
