Mata, Marisol Irías (author), van Gent, M.R.A. (author)Numerical modelling of wave interaction with rock-armoured rubble mound breakwaters has been performed to study wave overtopping. The influences of the slope angle, a berm in the seaward slope, a protruding crest wall, a recurved parapet, and the wave steepness have been studied using a validated CFD model (OpenFOAM). The numerical modelling...journal article 2023

Meng, Z. (author), Liu, Qing feng (author), Ukrainczyk, Neven (author), Mu, Song (author), Zhang, Yufei (author), De Schutter, Geert (author)Cementitious materials exposed to marine and saline environments are commonly threatened by a combined attack of sulfate and chloride ions. This study developed a numerical framework to investigate two combined coupling mechanisms of 1) coupled solid-liquid chemical reactions for competitive chloride-sulfate attack and 2) electrostatic multi...journal article 2023

Duivenvoorden, Jorien R. (author), Kramer, Rick P. (author), van Eikema Hommes, M.H. (author), Iedema, Piet D. (author), Hermans, Joen J. (author), Keune, Katrien (author)Oil paintings are complex, multi-layered systems that are prone to chemical degradation. While it is increasingly recognised that water plays an important role in these degradation reactions, little is known about moisture concentrations in oil paint systems and their temporal variation in response to fluctuating ambient air humidity. This...journal article 2023

O'Connell, Ken (author), Olaleye, Akeem K. (author), van den Akker, H.E.A. (author)The development of a novel numerical model for droplet drying is the topic of this paper. The three main stages of droplet drying are distinguished, viz. unhindered evaporation of a ’wet’ particle (the droplet), restricted drying at a falling rate due to the formation of a crust around a wet core, and inert heating of the dry porous particle....journal article 2023

Prosperi, A. (author), Longo, M. (author), Korswagen, Paul A. (author), Korff, M. (author)This paper presents an improved 2D modelling strategy which aims to represent the behavior of historical unreinforced masonry buildings on shallow foundations subjected to ground settlements. The application is presented with reference to a two-storey building, typical of the Dutch built heritage. The novelty comprises the inclusion of the...conference paper 2023

Kawasaki, Y. (author), Minato, S. (author), Ghose, R. (author)Bulk-density ( ρ) of soil is an important indicator of soil compaction and type. A knowledge of the spatial variability of in situ soil density is important in geotechnical engineering, hydrology and agriculture. Surface geophysical methods have so far shown limited success in providing an accurate and high-resolution image of 3-D soil...journal article 2023

Prosperi, A. (author), Nicodemo, Gianfranco (author), Korff, M. (author), Peduto, Dario (author)This paper presents an integrated analysis based on the use of multi-source wide-area datasets consisting of hydro-mechanical properties of geomaterials, in-situ investigations/measurements (e.g. groundwater levels in wells) and innovative space-borne data (i.e. DInSAR techniques) to support numerical analyses aimed at assessing and predicting...conference paper 2022

Shakibanezhad, R. (author), Sadighi, M. (author), Hedayati, R. (author)Study of porous materials, in particular closed-cell foams, has always attracted researchers’ interest due to the advantages these materials offer in applications where low weight, buoyancy, insulation, or energy absorption is of importance. In this study, quasi-static compressive experimental tests are conducted for low-, medium-, and high...journal article 2022

Fadili, Ali (author), Murtaza, Ali (author), Zitha, P.L.J. (author)Water injection into the subsurface, inherent in improved hydrocarbon recovery and extraction of geothermal energy, often suffers from injectivity decline, even when water carries only nano-sized particles at low concentrations. This study investigates the propagation of such nano-sized particles experimentally and by modelling. Water with...journal article 2022

(author), Efendi, Joni (author), Elbanna, Ahmed E. (author), Dubernet, Pierpaolo (author), Abidin, Hasanuddin Z. (author)Hazardous tsunamis are known to be generated predominantly at subduction zones. However, the 2018 Mw 7.5 Palu (Indonesia) earthquake on a strike-slip fault generated a tsunami that devastated the city of Palu. The mechanism by which this tsunami originated from such an earthquake is being debated. Here we present near-field ground motion (GPS...journal article 2022

Shoja, Aydin (author), van der Neut, J.R. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Geophysicists have widely used least-squares reverse-time migration (LSRTM) to obtain high-resolution images of the subsurface. However, LSRTM is computationally expensive and it can suffer from multiple reflections. Recently, a target-oriented approach to LSRTM has been proposed, which focuses the wavefield above the target of interest....journal article 2022

Fusco, Daniela (author), Messali, F. (author), Rots, J.G. (author), Addessi, Daniela (author), Pampanin, Stefano (author)Terraced houses built in the Netherland after 1980 are often characterized by the use of large units connected at corners by continuous thin layer mortar joints. Unlike the running bond pattern, usually modelled as a rigid connection, the vertical continuous connection may fail in shear and influence the global seismic capacity of the entire...journal article 2022

Lashley, Christopher H. (author)Coastal communities across the globe are often protected by structures, such as seawalls, levees or dikes, which allow only a safe volume of water to pass over or “overtop” them due to wave action during storms. The area seaward of these structures is often characterised by shallow, gently sloping beds referred to as foreshores.<br/>As storm...doctoral thesis 2021

Wang, Y. (author)Alluvial stratigraphy is influenced by both allogenic and autogenic factors, which are difficult to be distinguished from each other because they operate at overlapping spatial and temporal scales. Moreover, it remains uncertain whether autogenic dynamics can result in sedimentary cyclicity that resembles allogenically-driven stratigraphic...doctoral thesis 2021
