Mosleh, Yasmine (author), Gard, W.F. (author), Breebaart, Iskander (author), van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author), Van Duin, Paul (author), Poulis, J.A. (author)Collagen-based bioadhesives, also known as animal glues, are derived from animal parts (e.g. skin, bone, and cartilage). They have been widely used in the production of decorative wood working, paintings, bookbinding, and other historical objects for centuries as well as for their restoration and preservation [1]. <br/><br/>Collagen, in which...abstract 2022

(author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author)Lignin, one of the most abundant natural polymers, has been extensively studied as liquid or solid additive in bituminous binders. Despite the fact the organosolv lignin in bitumen improves the overall resistance against oxidative aging, lignin could lead to binders of high thermal cracking sensitivity. In this study, a bio-based oil is...conference paper 2021

Truong-Hong, Linh (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author), Woudenberg, Pieter (author), Gard, W.F. (author), van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)Churches are part of heritage structures that take an important role in Europe ́s cultural identity. As such, these structures must be protected to prevent catastrophic collapse and any damage must be reported timely to establish planning to maintenance and restoration. This can be achievable when the churches are monitored periodically with...conference paper 2021

van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author), Beketova-Hummel, O. (author), Pagella, G. (author), Ravenshorst, G.J.P. (author), Gard, W.F. (author)Timber pile foundations are widespread in many areas around Europe and North-America. Especially in areas with weak soils, timber pile foundations have been a very good and economic solution. However, aging of the foundations can become a problem, as physical, biological and/or chemical degradation may occur over time. Now, that foundations...conference paper 2021

Kamath, A.C. (author), Gard, W.F. (author), van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)Tropical hardwood or treated wooden sheet piles have been used historically to protect stream banks in countries like the Netherlands. However, there is an imminent need for alternative as exploitable tropical hardwood forests available in the country is limited. Locally available softwoods are less resistant to decay and in extreme conditions...conference paper 2021

Kamath, A.C. (author), Gard, W.F. (author), van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)Timber sheet pile walls are widely used for the protection of stream banks in different parts of the world. However, there is a tendency to create more sustainable types of stream banks not only because exploitable wood is more difficult to obtain, but also because of disturbance to the natural habitat of plants and animals due to hard...journal article 2020

Khaloian Sarnaghi, A. (author), Rais, A. (author), Kovryga, A. (author), Gard, W.F. (author), van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)Samples of European beech (Fagus sylvatica) were used for this study. Logs of these samples covered a scatter of mild-to-strong curvatures and the boards of these samples covered strong fiber deviations. This study consists of two separate parts: (1) log reconstruction and optimization of the cutting pattern, and (2) board reconstruction and...journal article 2020

Wang, X. (author), Gard, W.F. (author), Borska, Helena (author), Ursem, W.N.J. (author), van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)The integration of buildings into vegetation has become a necessity in many metropolitan areas of the world today. It expands the potential of vertical and horizontal, exterior and interior, exposed and enclosed spaces in a building that can be used to accommodate plants. Green infrastructures have benefits both on urban and building scales....journal article 2020

Ravenshorst, G.J.P. (author), Gard, W.F. (author), van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)The main parameter that influences the bending strength of timber from tropical hardwood is the slope of grain. Although, in the grading rules, a specific threshold value is given, in these hardwoods, the global slope of grain is very difficult to quantify by visual assessment. The slope of grain measured after testing gives a better...journal article 2020

European beech (Fagus sylvatica) is the species, used for this study. The logs of these species have generally complicated shapes with frequent curvatures, which is in contrast to most of the softwood...conference paper 2019

Zhang, Yi (author), Liu, X. (author), Apostolidis, P. (author), Gard, W.F. (author), van de Ven, Martin (author), Erkens, S. (author), Jing, R. (author)As bitumen oxidizes, material stiffening and embrittlement occur, and bitumen eventually cracks. The use of anti-oxidants, such as lignin, could be used to delay oxidative aging and to extend the lifetime of asphalt pavements. In this study, the chemical and rheological effect of lignin on bitumen was evaluated by using a single dosage organsolv...journal article 2019

Kamath, A.C. (author), Gard, W.F. (author), van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)Timber sheet piles are widely used to protect canal and stream banks. Quite often, riparian vegetation also grows along these retaining structures. Roots of riparian vegetation mechanically reinforce the soil with their root systems. A timber sheetpile- vegetation model is developed taking into account the mechanical reinforcement of the...conference paper 2019

Herrero Huerta, M. (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author), Gard, W.F. (author)Plant leaf movement is induced by some combination of different external and internal stimuli. Detailed geometric characterization of such movement is expected to improve understanding of these mechanisms. A metric high-quality, non-invasive and innovative sensor system to analyze plant movement is Terrestrial LiDAR (TLiDAR). This technique has...journal article 2018
