Groenleer, M.L.P. (author), Mijs, A. (author), Ten Heuvelhof, E.F. (author), Meeuwen, B. (author), Van der Puil, J. (author)A key challenge that European decision-makers struggle with today is regulating and governing the European financial and economic system in a way that is both effective and legitimate. To help address this challenge, this paper asks why regulatory gaps occurred and European governance has been weak, and how these gaps and weaknesses allowed...journal article 2014

Pasterkamp, S. (author)In the field of structural building engineering there is a market shift taking place as a result of the growing number of buildings that are listed as cultural heritage, secularization, the economic situation and the increasing office vacancy rate in Europe and the US. More and more structural engineering firms that were designing and...conference paper 2014

Tummers, L.C. (author), Hooimeijer, F.L. (author), Maring, L. (author)The purpose of this contribution is to look at different planning contexts into which decisions about subsoil engineering presently need to be integrated. There are many ways of doing as well as theorizing spatial planning; and planning practice is constantly changing. Next to that, soil legislation and management has become more important to...conference paper 2014

Kamerling, M.W. (author)In 1956 werden te Wormerveer twee bedrijfshallen gemaakt met cilindervormige overkappingen, de fabriekshal en de dozenhal, met keramische (Fusee Ceramique) elementen. Dit systeem werd in de tweede wereldoorlog uitgevonden en gepatenteerd door de Franse architect Jaques Couëlle. In de wederopbouwperiode na de tweede wereldoorlog werd het systeem...report 2014

Knoop, V.L. (author), Daamen, W. (author)The fundamental diagram of a road, including free flow capacity and queue discharge rate, is very important for traffic engineering purposes. In the real word, most traffic measurements come from stationary loop detectors. This paper proposes a method to fit Wu’s fundamental diagram to loop detector data. Wu’s fundamental diagram is...conference paper 2014

Hoornahad, H. (author), Koenders, E.A.B. (author)In this paper a performance-based method for the design of granular-paste mixtures will be proposed. Focus will be on the selection and proportioning of constituents to produce a mixture with a pre-defined shape holding ability. Shape holding ability of mixtures will be characterized by the shape preservation factor SPF. This SPF shows the...conference paper 2014

Yaitskova, N. (author), Van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)Time-of-flight is a time for an ultrasonic pulse to cross a sample. It contains valuable information about the mechanical properties of a material. For the ultrasonic pulse propagating in wood perpendicular to the grain the relation between the time-of-flight and the elastic constants is rather complex due to the strong anisotropicity of wood....journal article 2014

Bartoli, L. (author), Grunewald, S. (author), Schipper, H.R. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Hordijk, D.A. (author)The strain-hardening behaviour of cementitious composites is the result of a synergistic behaviour of the cement matrix and fibres in a cracked cross-section. The distribution and orientation of the fibres are essential in order to obtain such favourable tensile behaviour. Strain-hardening composites can be applied and are especially useftil in...conference paper 2014

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)In time-reversal acoustics, waves recorded at the boundary of a strongly scattering medium are sent back into the medium to focus at the original source position. This requires that the medium can be accessed from all sides. We discuss a focusing method for media that can be accessed from one side only.We show how complex focusing functions,...journal article 2014

The actuator disc is an axisymmetric permeable surface carrying a load that represents the load on a real rotor with a finite number of blades N. However, the mathematics of the transition from a real rotor load to an...journal article 2014
