Nowadays football stadium encounter a lot of problems. Often services are outdated and the capacity is often too large or too small. These capacity problems especially occur in stadium that are built for major tournaments. When the tournament is finished, no appropriate tenants can be found and the stadium often remains empty. Another problem...

Offshore wind power provides an alternative to fossil fuels while negating the effect of visual and auditive distortion of onshore wind turbines. Located several kilometres offshore, the transmission cable resistance becomes substantial. To limit the losses, the voltage in the cables is increased in a substation. As this structure is often the...

With increasing velocities of trains, passenger comfort starts to play a larger role in the design of railway bridges. There is little experience with the Eurocode passenger comfort criterion in the Netherlands. It is relevant for the industry to have a way to fulfil this criterion, also in an early stage of railway bridge design. A sufficiently...

In this thesis research has been performed to the strength and fatigue behaviour of existing riveted steel structures. The objective of this study is to research the ways of making a structural model that accurately predicts the behaviour of a riveted detail. For this purpose, a critically stressed riveted node from the steel road bridge the...

This study presents the characterization of the creep response of unidirectional (UD) glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP) composite laminates. Tensile creep tests are performed using a custom test apparatus which includes the use of a climate chamber. Tests are performed on coupon sized specimens loaded in the fiber direction and...

Bending behaviour of steel tubes has been examined in many research projects through the years, especially for empty ones. Also the infill and pressure effect in the tubes has been elaborately investigated but not much has been done on the effect that the sand infill has on the bending of the tubes. Combi-wall tubes are filled with sand during...

This master thesis investigates the response of spirally welded steel tubes under 4-point bending deformation. Through the finite element simulations of a testing the buckling behavior of sprirally welded tubes can be more clearly understood. The numerical simulation and buckling behavior of spirally welded steel tubes is discussed in this...

The high levels of wind and wave loads on offshore structures make fatigue analysis a significant parameter that has to be taken into consideration throughout an offshore structure design. Steel tubular members are widely used in offshore (wind) industry due to their efficient structural behaviour. The welded connections between the different...

Many shallow marginal gas fields remain unexploited in the North Sea, mainly due to higher infrastructure capital expenditure for its exploitation. A study carried by Iv Oil & Gas to formulate a potential solution concludes that a conventional tripod structure with a suction bucket foundation and minimum topside facilities is a viable solution...

Wire rope is used in numerous applications such as elevators, power lines, suspension bridges, ships and the mooring of offshore structures. In many of these applications wire rope needs to be bent. Currently the Norwegian certification instance Det Norske Veritas (DNV) prescribes a capacity reduction factor for bending wire rope. It is unclear...

In the Netherlands buildings are designed using a grid with multiples of 3.6 meter. Within these designs floor spans of 7.2 meter are popular (double grid size). The deep decks of composite floors at this moment in time are designed to reach an unpropped span of 5.5 meter. This master research is focused on finding a possible deck design for a...

Tubular steel sections are used as foundation piles in near-shore applications like jetties or bridgeworks. The steel tubes are connected to a concrete capping beam or pile cap which transfers the forces from the structure to the piles. Multiple options for this connection type have been developed over the years with varying specifications....

Composite steel-concrete floor slabs are a type of flooring that consists of a steel profiled deck, cast in-place concrete and steel reinforcement meshes in the concrete and steel reinforcement bars in the profiled ribs of the steel deck. Composite floors can roughly be separated into two types, those that use: shallow steel decks and deep steel...

The purpose of this MSc thesis is to find a feasible concept for a circa 4500 m long buoyancy bridge, which is located at the Sognefjord in Norway. The concept should be structurally and aesthetically competitive. In contrast to bridges on shore with fixed supports, a buoyancy bridge is supported on floating pontoons. As result, loads will cause...

Environmental research and in-situ measurements have shown that most regions of the Baltic Sea harnesses a large wind energy potential. The Finnish government has outlined a policy to generate a rapid increase in the use and production of renewable wind energy. In order to achieve these goals, the need arises for the construction of full scale...

A number of load modes and comfort design guidelines, with the purpose of analyzing the comfort level of target structure, has been introduced in the last few years. The approaches to these issues have in many cases been very different in both how much in detail it goes when describing the pedestrian load and to what extent the load case has to...

The current calculation methods which determine the capacity of pinned connections provide different results. In this thesis a detailed look on those theories and the effect of different parameters is studied. Because it is hard to provide any conclusions about just comparing these theories also a FEM analysis is done. In this thesis the FEM...

The potential of additive manufacturing is great: highly complex and efficient structures can be manufactured with hardly any waste material. While high-tech industries such as aviation and medicine have already embraced additive manufacturing, civil engineering is lagging behind. Research on the structural properties of additive manufactures in...

For the industry of pipe-laying, the propagation of a crack can finally lead to failure of the structural components. This may cause catastrophic consequences for environment, economy and even lives of people. Therefore, the mechanical assessment of crack-like defects is of great importance in engineering practice. For non-linear problems,...
