Struiksma, A.F. (author), Smilde, J.A. (author), Van Houten, R.S. (author)This "designers' manual" is made during the TIDO-course AR0531 Innovation and Sustainability This manual explains why mass timber is the sustainable substitute for conventional materials and how it can be implemented in the design. It is intended for architects who usually always build in steel and concrete, because they are not familiar with...student report 2014

De Rover, R. (author)Als gevolg van erosie langs de kust van Nederland worden er periodiek zandsuppleties uitgevoerd om te voorkomen dat de basiskustlijn verder landinwaarts verplaatst. Bij zeer steile onderwateroevers kan erosiebestrijding met zandsuppleties problematisch zijn, de zuidwestkust van Wa1cheren is zo'n probleem 10catie. De vraag rijst dan ook of voor...student report 2006

Vummidi, Narayanee (author)The gravity field changes associated with the earthquake are analysed using the GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) data. GRACE data can track the temporal variations in the gravity field and therefore information on mass redistribution can be achieved. There have been many studies already carried out using the GRACE data to analyse...student report 2019

van der Wateren, Maarten (author)Currently the transport & planning (transport & logistics) group from Royal HaskoningDHV makes their pre-design for steel orthotropic bridge decks by using rules of thumb and experience. In the final design-stage this is verified whereby the force distribution is checked with the help of 3D finite element software (FEM). In this stage...student report 2019

Feng, Liying (author)Pressure driven membranes have become increasingly popular in removal of natural organic matter (NOM). With the purpose to tailor pore size of membrane to remove NOM effectively, atomic layer deposition (ALD) was applied on the ceramic nanofiltration (NF) membrane with a pore size of 1.3 nm. Ceramic membranes were chosen as the substrate...student report 2018

Den Boer, V.J.E. (author), Joosten, D.A.W. (author), Melman, F.C.R. (author), Post, S. (author)The starting point for this project are the severe erosion problems at the Pacuare Nature Reserve, situated on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. The Reserve’s installations are situated next to a lagoon which is separated from the open sea by a barrier beach. The lagoon is connected on the landward side to local river? and channel system....student report 2009

van Dijk, Jurian (author)Compliant mechanisms have found their way in more and more applications in recent years, particularly in the aerospace and microsystems sectors. The benefits of compliant mechanisms stretch far, and can be exploited for large scale applications as well. Little research has been performed on the use of compliant mechanisms in large scale...student report 2021

ZHANG, XINYI (author)Infragravity (IG) waves are long waves whose frequency ranges between 0.005 Hz to 0.04 Hz. The directional properties of IG waves are essential in various engineering fields, but few spectra reconstruction methods have been tested to be robust for the last forty years. In this study, artificial wave signals were created to check the accuracy and...student report 2022

Görkey, Isitan (author), El Moussaoui, Chakir (author), Wijdeveld, Vincent (author), Sennema, Erik (author)Blockchain is a technology that is in use increasingly. Although owing its common use to the cryptocurrencies there is more to the blockchain technology than just the monetary use. One of these uses is by smaller groups of participants under the control of a central authority, for instance at a company. Such private blockchains use permissioned...student report 2020

Bouman, Nikki (author), Jaggi, Vanisha (author), Khattat, Mostafa (author), Salami, Nima (author), Wernet, Victor (author), Zonneveld, Wouter (author)Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly affecting people’s lives. AI is even employed in fields where human lives depend on the AI’s decisions. However, these algorithms lack transparency, i.e. it is unclear how they determine the outcome. If, for instance, the AI’s purpose is to classify an image, the AI will learn this from examples...student report 2019
