Gaggero, M.B. (author), Korswagen, Paul A. (author), Esposito, R. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)Cracks are one of the most common expressions of damage in masonry structures. Aside from aesthetic issues, they can compromise the overall behaviour of the structure; therefore, they are undesirable and need to be repaired. The repointing technique is traditionally implemented in this context, especially in historical masonry. Nevertheless,...book chapter 2023

Korswagen, Paul A. (author), Longo, M. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)The probability of light damage to unprepared, unreinforced masonry structures exposed to induced seismicity due to gas extraction in the north of the Netherlands is still under investigation. Repeated light seismic excitations caused by frequent, light and nearby earthquakes have been linked to economical losses and societal unrest in...journal article 2022

Jolly, Mark (author), Katgerman, L. (author)Over the last 4 decades, remarkable progress has been made in the modelling of casting processes. The development of casting models is well reflected in the proceedings of the 15 Modelling of Casting, Welding and Advanced Solidification Processes (MCWASP) conferences that have been held since 1980. Computer simulations have enabled a better...journal article 2022

Guo, Bingbing (author), Qiao, Guofu (author), Li, Z. (author), Li, Dongsheng (author), Dai, Jinghui (author), Wang, Yan (author)Impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) is an effective and direct method for controlling the corrosion of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. However, few investigations related to ICCP in cracked RC structures have been reported. In this study, the effect of cracks in concrete cover on ICCP of chloride-contaminated RC structures was...journal article 2021

Korswagen, Paul A. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)Recent, induced earthquakes in the north of the Netherlands have led to a large number of damage claims. Many claims can be considered to fall into the category of ‘light damage’ to the ubiquitous, unreinforced masonry structures in the region. To evaluate and predict the behaviour of cracks, characteristic of light masonry damage, caused by...conference paper 2021

Korswagen, Paul A. (author), Longo, M. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)The north of the Netherlands is prone to frequent, light earthquakes linked to economical losses and societal unrest due to the induced seismicity in the region. These light earthquakes produce correspondingly low values of in-plane drift on the typical masonry structures of the region, many of which are built with cavity walls composed of an...journal article 2020

Korswagen, Paul A. (author), Longo, M. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)Induced seismicity in the north of the Netherlands has recently exposed unprepared, unreinforced masonry structures to considerable earthquake hazard. While the ultimate-limit state capacity of the structures is vital to assess the individual's risk, their behaviour during more frequent, lighter earthquakes leading to ‘light damage’, has...journal article 2020

Jamalinia, E. (author), Vardon, P.J. (author), Steele-Dunne, S.C. (author)The stability of a dike is influenced strongly by its water content, via both changing its weight and strength. While safety calculations using both analytical and numerical methods are well studied, the impact of surface boundaries exposed to natural conditions is rarely considered, nor is the fact that this surface is covered in vegetation and...journal article 2020

Romero Rodriguez, C. (author), Chaves Figueiredo, S. (author), Deprez, M. (author), Snoeck, D. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Šavija, B. (author)Recently the concept of crack self-sealing has been investigated as a method to prevent degradation and/or loss of functionality of cracked concrete elements. To obtain self-sealing effect in the crack, water swelling admixtures such as superabsorbent polymers (SAP) are added into the cementitious mix. In order to design such self-sealing...journal article 2019

Troian, S (author), Grunewald, S. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author)The production of double-curved precast concrete elements for cladding or shell structures requires expensive CNC (computer numerical control)-milled formwork. As an alternative method, the innovative flexible mould for economically efficient and sustainable production of such elements is discussed in this paper. This method comprises the use of...conference paper 2018

Terwel, K.C. (author), Schipper, H.R. (author)Groningen, a province in the northern part of the Netherlands, suffers from earthquakes because of gas drilling. The residential building stock in Groningen was not designed for these loads. Over the years a lot of smaller and larger damage has developed, possibly - but not necessarily - caused by the effects of gas drilling. Delft University of...conference paper 2018

Chen, X (author), Bei, G. (author)Advanced engineering and functional ceramics are sensitive to damage cracks, which delay the wide applications of these materials in various fields. Ceramic composites with enhanced fracture toughness may trigger a paradigm for design and application of the brittle components. This paper reviews the toughening mechanisms for the nanolayered...journal article 2017
