Wei, Baokun (author)The project envisioned a social-ecological resilient waterfront for Rotterdam. By focusing on the outer dike area of Rotterdam, it aims to protect the port from flooding ,and at the same time create more nature habitat for biodiversity. With creating a resilient river, it can re-realize the role of industry and reconnect them into resource flows...master thesis 2021

Gao, P. (author), Wei, J.X. (author), Yu, Q.J. (author)Chemical shrinkage is one of the main reasons leading to the early age deformation of concrete. Hence, the prediction of chemical shrinkage is an important issue for evaluating the deformation of concrete and its influence on the durability of concrete structures. There is still room to improve the accuracy for predicting the chemical shrinkage...conference paper 2021

Tian, Cong (author), Wei, Xiaosheng (author)An improved method based on the ring test called eccentric ring test is used to study the cracking of cementitious materials. The water-cement ratios were 0.25, 0.30, 0.35, 0.4 and the aggregate mass fractions were 10%, 30%, 50%, respectively. It was found that with the increase of water-cement ratio and aggregate, the cracking time of the...conference paper 2021

Wang, F. (author), Zhang, Lu (author), Wei, L. (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author)During drinking water treatment, advanced oxidation process (AOP) with O3 and H2O2 may result in by-products, residual H2O2 and BrO3−. The water containing H2O2 and BrO3− often flows into subsequent granular activated carbon (GAC) filters. A concentrated H2O2 solution can be used as GAC modification reagent at 60 °C to improve its adsorption...journal article 2021

Shen, C. (author), Deng, X. (author), Wei, Z. (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author), Zoeteman, A. (author), Li, Z. (author)A singular rail or wheel surface irregularity, such as a squat, insulation joint or wheel flat, can cause large wheelrail impact force. Both the magnitude and frequency content of the impact force need to be correctly modelledbecause they are closely related to the formation, deterioration and detection of such irregularities. In this paper,we...journal article 2021
