Joustra, J.J. (author), Flipsen, Bas (author), Balkenende, R. (author)Composite materials offer many advantages during the use phase, but recovery at the end of a lifecycle remains a challenge. Structural reuse, where an end of life product is segmented into construction elements, may be a promising alternative. However, composites are often used in large, complex shaped products with optimised material...journal article 2021

Prieto Hoces, A.I. (author), Oldenhave, M.M. (author)The aesthetic of our built environment is perceived as an important aspect to consider for the design of human-centred cities, but a problem quickly arises in the presence of clashing conceptions of what we understand to be aesthetically pleasing. This paper adds to this discussion, by exploring architects' aesthetic preferences in façade design...journal article 2021

Kleiman, F. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Meijer, Sebastiaan (author)The adoption of open data policy-making by governments is limited due to different types of constraints. Civil servants are reluctant to open their data to the public for many reasons. The lack of knowledge of benefits that can be produced by the release of data and the overestimation of risks and operational complexity seems to decrease...conference paper 2021

de Vries, Mindert (author), van Koningsveld, M. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author), de Vriend, H.J. (author)By definition, Building with Nature solutions utilise services provided by the natural system and/or provide new opportunities to that system. As a consequence, such solutions are sensitive to the status of, and interact with the surrounding system. A thorough understanding of the ambient natural system is therefore necessary to meet the...journal article 2021

Joustra, J.J. (author), Flipsen, Bas (author), Balkenende, R. (author)Composite materials are an attractive material choice as they enable lightweight, low-maintenance products with a long lifespan. Recycling these materials, however, remains a chal-lenge. Homogeneous material composition and the use of thermoset matrices complicate repro-cessing, and result in low-grade recyclate. This means that closing the...journal article 2021

Ordeman, Gertjan (author)For the development of Arctic offshore structures, design ice loads are required. These design loads represent the ice loads a structure may be exposed to for specified requirements. The design ice loads depend on magnitude of the ice loads and on the probability of exposure to the ice loads. Both are impacted by local sea ice conditions.<br/>...master thesis 2020
