Houtenbos, J.R. (author)It was unclear what level of reliability was provided by appliance of the Eurocode load models for fatigue due to train loads, meaning that it might be insufficient. Therefore, it was investigated what the provided reliability is, compared to what is should be. Within this report, the focus is solely on fatigue induced by bending moments on...master thesis 2016

Van der Meer, T.E. (author)Concrete bridges are subjected to large lateral deformations, which if restrained will also lead to large (axial) stresses in the structure. If unrestrained these deformations caused by temperature variation and shrinkage, can become problematic for bridges of sufficient continuous length. If deformation is restrained to some degree, then the...master thesis 2015

Van Casteren, B.G.A. (author)The main objective of this research is to test the feasibility of prefabricated concrete as a construction material for (railway) underpasses. By means of a literature study the most important aspects for the use of prefabricated concrete are analyzed, as well as the execution aspects for an underpass crossing a railway. Based on the findings...master thesis 2015

Schippers, R.O. (author)In Nederland bestaat er bij het realiseren van bouwkuipen met een onderwaterbetonvloer en trekpalen, in de veelal slappe ondergrond, onzekerheid over de gevolgen die een ontlasting van de ondergrond teweeg kunnen brengen. De grond zal zich aanpassen aan de afgenomen spanningen wat gepaard gaat met uitzetting van de grond. Deze volumevergroting...master thesis 2009
