Noukari, Athanasia (author)With the continuous increase in transportation volume, bridges face the challenge of carrying higher traffic loads. As a result, bridges undergo fatigue due to repeated and increasing loads, leading to progressive deterioration of their structural reliability. While existing codes already account for several variables affecting the concrete's...master thesis 2023

Schaper, Jelle (author)Concrete is widely used in civil engineering and despite its long history, accurate prediction of the hardening process, particularly in partially restrained conditions, remains a challenge. During the hardening of partially restrained concrete, residual stresses occur due to restrained deformations caused by factors such as heating/cooling and...master thesis 2023

Chen, Chia Yu (author)Traditional approaches to noise barrier design often rely on outdated techniques and resource-intensive materials like concrete and steel. However, with sustainability gaining prominence, aligning noise barrier design with green construction principles becomes crucial. Structural optimization, aimed at minimizing material usage, emerges as a...master thesis 2023

Sharma, Sudaya (author)Previous earthquake reports have highlighted the high vulnerability of masonry walls to failure when subjected to the out-of-plane (OOP) loading. Particularly, this OOP failure is a significant cause of collapse in unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings, especially those with slender walls and large openings. Moreover, in the past they were...master thesis 2023

Groeneweg, Romy (author)To stop the depletion of natural resources, reduce climate change and fight biodiversity loss a circular economy in 2050 is pursued. In the upcoming years a challenging opportunity arises. Many existing bridges and viaducts with bridge decks consisting of prefabricated concrete girders have to be replaced. These girders although not designed...master thesis 2023

PAUL, Ivana Mariam Paul (author)The development of an efficient and sustainable transportation system is crucial for the effective functioning of economies. Concrete, a widely used material for road construction, poses significant environmental challenges. A sustainable alternative is to use alkali-activated concrete (AAC) for road construction. However, the aggregates used in...master thesis 2023

Sewcharan, Ashish (author)Port of Rotterdam has the ambition to reduce the footprint for building new quay walls, this is in line with their ambition to reduce the footprint and with national goals to limit global warming. The aim is to use less materials and/or use different design solutions. These reinforced structures are designed in a conventional way and the...master thesis 2023

Weijs, Harrie (author)On the 17th of October 2021, a concrete grandstand element collapsed at the Goffert stadium in the Netherlands after a crowd jumped on it for 8 seconds. An investigation by an engineering consultancy firm concluded that the design loads in the building code are too low, raising questions about the safety of grandstand elements. Currently, no...master thesis 2023

Gísladóttir, Lára (author)Crownwalls are often placed on top of vertical composite breakwaters to reduce overtopping. Adding a seawards facing overhang at the top of crownwalls has successfully reduced overtopping even further without increasing the freeboard of the crownwall. Crownwalls with a fully curved (FC) face are most often used in seawalls where they are...master thesis 2023

Slegers, Ron (author)An experimental research into the use of basalt as reinforcement in concrete to reduce the ECI value of a concrete quay wall apron. In this research experiments with basalt minibars and basalt reinforced polymer rebars are performed to compare directly to steel fibres and steel rebars. With the test results 4 designs are produced resulting in...master thesis 2022

Kraaijenbrink, Lennart (author)With the rise of hydrogen as a green alternative for fossil fuels, the demand for storage capacity of hydrogen increases significantly. Due to the high risk of explosions in urban environments it brings along, the blast analysis of buildings within in range of the explosions becomes more relevant.<br/><br/>The goal of this research is to develop...master thesis 2022

Schuyffel, Luke (author)Sustained economic growth based on a linear production model is not feasible on a planet with finite resources and a limited capacity to absorb wastes. By 2050, the world's population has grown exponentially to 9.7 billion and a tripling of the global use of materials can be realistically expected. Therefore, the transition towards a circular...master thesis 2022

Brouwers, Raymond (author)Structural health monitoring of buildings is useful for a few reasons. It provides information on the usage and cause of damage to a building. This can result in targeted maintenance or allow for potential improvements.<br/><br/>Traditionally, a building can be monitored by installing sensors during construction or maintenance work. These can be...master thesis 2022

Korakas, Ntonalnt (author)In this thesis an investigation into the buckling behaviour of steel trusses with eccentric joints is performed.<br/>In recent years, Ampelmann motion compensated gangway systems have been pivotal to the advancement of offshore personnel transfers. These systems for functionality reasons require the use of eccentric joints. The behaviour of such...master thesis 2022

Vallejos Balladares, Andres (author)To calculate the flexural-shear resistance of prestressed concrete members without shear reinforcement, a method based on Critical Shear Crack Theory (CSCT) has been presented for the new Eurocode (prEN1992). Two alternatives provided in draft 7/2020 (prEN1, prEN2) are the starting point given, and two other alternatives are proposed for...master thesis 2022

Ouchene, ALI (author)Nowadays, most of the historical bridges (Amsterdam, 2019) of Amsterdam do not meet the load-bearing criteria of the current design code (Eurocode: 2012). This has several reasons. It comes partly because of the overdue of the maintenance (Amsterdam, 2019) but also because the traffic load for which the bridge has been designed, is lower than...master thesis 2021

Samuel Budhi Setyanto, Sam (author)A parking garage of Eindhoven airport partially collapsed in 2017. It was caused by failure of the longitudinal joint (long-side) of the composite plank floor or breedplaatvloer on the roof level. Experimental and numerical research showed that the joint suffered high positive bending moment in its transverse direction. However, from the...master thesis 2021

Yotrisno Lang, Lang (author)In concrete structures, shear failure is one of the failure mechanisms that should be estimated carefully due to its brittle nature. As the technology advances, the capacity of shear in concrete structures can be calculated with the analytical formulation in codes and standards and simulated with NLFEA. The shear capacity is affected by the size...master thesis 2021

van Hulst, Jeffrey (author)One of the basic principles of the design of structures is that they must be sufficiently safe and meet the required reliability requirements. In Eurocode NEN-EN 1990 specific minimum reliability index values are defined, which depend on a certain reference period and reliability class. To ensure that the structures meet the reliability...master thesis 2021

Priyadarshi, Richa (author)Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials across the world. Although, the traditional construction techniques are being improved for efficiency, cost and material optimization, there are disadvantages as well, such as the use of formwork, highly labourintensive and limited architectural freedom for design and material...master thesis 2021
