Wang, J.Y. (author), Van Vlierberghe, S. (author), Dubruel, P. (author), Verstraete, W. (author), De Belie, N. (author)Self-healing concrete is regarded as a promising solution to reduce the high maintenance and repair cost of concrete infrastructure. Due to the limited autogenous healing capacity of concrete as such, additives are needed to enhance its self-healing properties. Among various strategies, microbial-based self-healing has gained increasing...conference paper 2013

Wang, Qiao (author), Wilson, William (author), Scrivener, Karen (author)If sulfate attack on Portland cement systems has been largely investigated in the last decades, mechanisms of sulfate resistance for systems with new SCMs are still in dim, especially for the emerging materials that are limestone calcined clay cements (LC³). Using a new semi-immersion approach, we forced the penetration of sulfate ions in just...conference paper 2021

Lam, T.N. (author), Stive, M.J. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Wang, Z.B. (author)Thuan An is a tidal inlet located in Vietnam in a tropical monsoon area. The inlet is very dynamic and variable under the influences of not only tides and waves from the sea but also flows and floods from upstream rivers. Therefore, morphodynamic behaviour of the inlet is very complicated and not well understood. Studies on inlet are also facing...conference paper 2006

(author)Salt marshes are distributed along more than 400 km of the Jiangsu coast in Eastern China, which are regarded as important habitats and serve as coastal protection as well. Previous research has proven that salt-marsh vegetation can reduce current velocity and dampen waves by its stems and leaves. Reversely, hydrodynamic forces also have a...conference paper 2011

The evolution of coherent structures in a flat plate boundary layer transition induced by the cylinder wake is investigated using the particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique. The finite-time Lyapunov exponent (FTLE), which characterizes the amount of stretching about the flow trajectory, is used to extract the Lagrangian coherent structures....conference paper 2015

Wang, Xiuli (author), Gard, Wolfgang (author), van de Kuilen, J.W.G (author)Living architecture is thriving. The integration of buildings with vegetation has become a necessity in many metropolitan areas of the world today, including Singapore, New York City, Shanghai and Milan, to name a few. It expands the potential of vertical and horizontal, exterior and interior, exposed and enclosed spaces in a building that can...conference paper 2019

Yao, P. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), Zhang, C. (author), Su, M. (author), Wang, Z.B. (author)In the South Yellow Sea off the Jiangsu coast, there exists a special type of sand bodies, which are known as radial sand ridge field (RSRF). One of the characteristics of this area is the distinctive radial tidal current field. Although many studies have focused on the hydrodynamic environment around radial sand ridges, the knowledge on the...conference paper 2013

Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of a transient turbulent channel flow subject to constant temporal acceleration have been performed with a final Reynolds number of $\Retau=800$. The response of turbulent structures to the temporal acceleration is investigated. A significant delay in the response of turbulent flow is observed in various...conference paper 2015

Due to lack of rotational freedom in their stacking, they have been known as fragile materials. Even though some efforts have been dedicated to bind or mend defects/cracks in amorphous materials like concrete or polymers...conference paper 2013

Leijtens, J. (author), Theuwissen, A. (author), Rao, P.R. (author), Wang, X. (author), Xie, N. (author)It is generally known that active pixel sensors (APS) have a number of advantages over CCD detectors if it comes to cost for mass production, power consumption and ease of integration. Nevertheless, most space applications still use CCD detectors because they tend to give better performance and have a successful heritage. To this respect a...conference paper 2007

Stable power supply requires a robust design of the power grid topology. Currently, the impact of the grid structure on the grid robustness is mainly assessed by purely topological metrics, that fail to capture the fundamental properties of the electrical...conference paper 2015
