Effect of reactive aggregate on the early age reaction of water-glass activated slag/fly ash mortarsWang, Wei (author), Zhang, Shizhe (author), Ye, G. (author), Noguchi, Takafumi (author)Alkali activated materials (AAMs) have received worldwide attention due to its lower embodied energy and environmental impact than that of traditional cementitious materials. However, the activators with high alkalinity may raise the risk of alkali silica reaction (ASR) induced deterioration when reactive aggregates are used, which thereby...conference paper 2021

Simhachalam, V. (author), Wang, T. (author), Liu, Y. (author), Wamelink, J.W.F. (author), Montenegro, Lorena (author), Van Gorp, Geert (author)The Paris Agreement requires building retrofitting practices to be more efficient and effective. However, the current practice for building energy retrofitting is lacking behind, and one reason for that is the time-consuming process of energy credit evaluation. Energy performance assessment such as BREEAM-NL in the Netherlands could apply a more...journal article 2021

Ghaffarian Niasar, M. (author), Wang, Xiaolei (author), Kiiza, Respicius Clemence (author)When detecting the presence of partial discharge (PD) activity in the insulation system in high-voltage equipment, the excitation voltages at variable frequency have been widely used instead of power-frequency (50/60 Hz) sinusoidal voltage in order to reduce the charging power. This work reviews the relevant research on PD activity at very low...journal article 2021

Trees, V.J.H. (author), Wang, P. (author), Stammes, P. (author)During a solar eclipse the solar irradiance reaching the top of the atmosphere (TOA) is reduced in the Moon shadow. The solar irradiance is commonly measured by Earth observation satellites before the start of the solar eclipse and is not corrected for this reduction, which results in a decrease in the computed TOA reflectances. Consequently,...journal article 2021

Shang, Y. (author), Nogal Macho, M. (author), Wang, Haoyu (author), Wolfert, A.R.M. (author)Performance evaluation and maintenance planning are gaining importance with ageing rail infrastructure and increasing demand on track safety and continuous availability. The discrete/point railway assets (e.g. bridges, level crossings) together with extended track sections constitute the main railway network infrastructure. The former has...journal article 2021

Winterwerp, J.C. (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)This paper describes the effects of anthropogenic deepening of tidal rivers in a conceptual way, with focus on tidal distortion and the residual transport of coarse sediment, driven by asymmetries in peak velocity. The rivers under consideration are fairly small, with small river discharge, and may have irregular hypsometry, with substantial...journal article 2021

Pearson, S.G. (author), Verney, Romaric (author), van Prooijen, Bram (author), Tran, Duc (author), Hendriks, H.C.M. (author), Jacquet, Matthias (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Quantifying and characterizing suspended sediment is essential to successful monitoring and management of estuaries and coastal environments. To quantify suspended sediment, optical and acoustic backscatter instruments are often used. Optical backscatter systems are more sensitive to mud particles (<63 μm) and flocs, whereas acoustic...journal article 2021

Pearson, S.G. (author), van Prooijen, Bram (author), Poleykett, Jack (author), Wright, Matthew (author), Black, Kevin (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Sediment tracer studies use uniquely identifiable particles to track the pathways and fate of individual sand or silt grains in marine environments. These techniques are best applied to assess connectivity between potential sediment sources and sinks, such as between a sand nourishment and an ecologically sensitive area. Significant challenges...journal article 2021
