(author)Proof load testing can be an interesting method to assess existing bridges for which analytical methods are unable to provide an accurate assessment. In a proof load test, a load representative of the factored live load is applied to the bridge. If the bridge can carry this load without distress, the proof load test is success-ful, and the...conference paper 2021

Fric, Nenad (author), Veljkovic, M. (author), Mišković, Zoran (author), Buđevac, Dragan (author)Slip-resistant shear connections with preloaded bolts have traditionally been used in steel structures exposed to cyclic / fatigue loading or in cases when bolt slipping or connection deformations should be restricted. Hence, shear load is transferred through friction surfaces rather than through contact between the bolt surface and the hole....journal article 2021

Gonçalves, Joana (author), Mateus, Ricardo (author), Silvestre, José Dinis (author), Pereira Roders, A. (author)Despite the recognised importance of built heritage for sustainable development, and the multiple tools, recommendations, guidelines, and policies developed in recent years to support decision-making, good sustainable conservation practices often fail to be implemented. Challenges faced by practitioners often relate to external factors, and...journal article 2021

Brands, T. (author), Dixit, M. (author), van Oort, N. (author)We evaluate a large scale network change in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where a regional network of many direct bus lines is replaced by a new metro line as a trunk line and buses serving as feeder lines. For the analysis we use realized trip times from automated vehicle location data and ridership details from smart card data. In the new...conference paper 2021

van Mil, Yvonne (author), Rutte, R.J. (author)Around the North Sea, how have port cities and cities in the hinterlands of port cities influenced one another in the past? What possible links are there between population trends in various urban areas and time periods? Is it possible to identify the origin of the urbanization patterns around the North Sea? To understand the current era of...journal article 2021

Höller, L. (author)The great number of actors in port city regions, such as port authorities, municipalities, national governments, private companies, societal groups, and flora and fauna, need to develop shared visions. Collaborative approaches that focus on combined values can help achieve long-term resilience and enable a sustainable and just coexistence of...journal article 2021

den Hartog, Harry (author)In China, Shanghai often serves as a place to introduce and try out new ideas. This is certainly the case with experimental urban planning and design solutions and sustainability transitions. This article identifies and evaluates the role of pilot projects and demonstration zones along the Huangpu River. These clusters and zones are supposed to...journal article 2021

(author), Thijssen, J.M. (author)Interest in building dedicated quantum information science and engineering (QISE) education programs has greatly expanded in recent years. These programs are inherently convergent, complex, often resource intensive and likely require collaboration with a broad variety of stakeholders. In order to address this combination of challenges, we...review 2021

(author)Residential self-selection (RSS) is the theoretical mechanism that explains that the impact of the built environment on travel behaviour is weaker than bivariate correlations suggest, because mode attitudes influence both the built environment and travel behaviour and therefore at least partially account for the bivariate relationship....journal article 2021

Li, Minglei (author), Nan, L. (author)The goal of urban building mesh simplification is to generate a compact representation of a building from a given mesh. Local smoothness and sharp contours of urban buildings are important features for converting unstructured data into solid models, which should be preserved during the simplification. In this paper, we present a general method...journal article 2021
