Migalski, Jos (author)The Helperzoom bridge is one of few existing prestressed slab-between-girder bridges that is being managed by Rijkswaterstaat. These bridges are built before 1980 and do not comply with the current standards. To evaluate the structural safety and capacity these bridges are being assessed. A total of four girders were taken from the Helperzoom...master thesis 2020

Brongers, Brian (author)Recently experiments were conducted at the Technical University of Delft on the size effect of concrete. The size effect is a term used for the relative decrease in shear capacity with an increase in height of the structural member. The beams observed in the experiment failed much sooner than was predicted. These test results have implications...master thesis 2020

Odijk, Maik (author)This research focuses on the structural behaviour of an elastic supported reinforced concrete slab. Over the years, there is a tendency to realise industrial floors with large joint-spacings. The downside of a slab on grade with a large joint-spacing is that the risk of (uncontrolled) cracking due to a shrinkage load is higher, which often...master thesis 2019

Niño Romero, David (author)During the early stages of the construction process of a building, the potential impact of design decisions is at its greatest. One of the reasons is the lack of computational tools at these stages. The main objective of this research project was the expansion of StructuralComponents by the development of a parametric real-time computational...master thesis 2019

Teshome, Tihitina Tilahun (author)The aim of this thesis project is to investigate the model uncertainty of non-linear finite element analysis of reinforced concrete structures at ultimate limit state by focusing on concrete cracking model, concrete-reinforcement interaction model and mesh size. Following this, eight finite element modelling strategies are developed and 67...master thesis 2019

Misios, George (author)Wind turbines constitute a sustainable and effective solution to produce energy using wind power. Offshore wind turbines are becoming of special interest and more demanding with continuously increased diameters. However, their design poses great challenges, since the installation and fabrication tolerances in combination with high cyclic loading...master thesis 2019

Gunecha, Saurabh (author)Orthotropic bridges are being built for more than half a century. These bridges are prone to high cycle fatigue due to traffic loading. Early onset of fatigue cracking is a serious issue in both old and recently built bridges. To prevent this a number of different cross section have been suggested. Sandwich Panel is one of the suggested...master thesis 2019

Meek, Maarten (author)To realise more sustainable industrial ground floors the implementation of alkali-activated concrete is considered for jointless elastically supported ground floors. Such floors are realised with large areas without dilations, the shrinkage reduction is therefore restrained causing cracks to arise at the top surface of the floor. The control of...master thesis 2019

Katta, Ajay (author)Standardized column splices consist of bolted end-plate connection or bolted/welded cover plate splice connection. In this thesis a non-symmetrical column splice connection that uses a combination of bolted end-plate splice and cover plate splice is studied. End-plate column splice may interfere with installation of cladding elements and may...master thesis 2019

Bushunova, Olga (author)The research concentrated on a behavior of the deep composite deck ComFlor210 under a concentrated force. The distribution of a concentrated force in ComFlor210 was studied numerically and analytically. <br/>The finite element model of a composite slab with 5.4m span showed good agreement with test results in the elastic stage. The parametric...master thesis 2019

Aggarwal, Sakshi (author)New railway bridges for high-speed trains are being built in a many countries around the world. In addition to the construction of new bridges, existing bridges are ageing. These two factors make the assessment of railway bridges essential. The bridges are designed considering certain predefined reliability criteria to account for the...master thesis 2018

Vithalkar, Arjun (author)Concrete is used significantly in many structures since, the last few centuries. The need to maximize the concrete strength and utilize it's complete potential is the main focus of researchers even in today's modern age. It is thus, important to restore the existing structures apart from developing new materials and technology to build new...student report 2018

Kroeze, Sijtse Jan (author)The bridges built in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s are reaching the end of their originally service life. Many bridges require reassessment. In 2009 the former ministry of “Volkshuisvesting, Ruimtelijke Ordening en Milieubeheer”(Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment) carried out a study about the state of the bridges, following several...master thesis 2018

Wouterlood, Bob (author)With the arrival of the Eurocode, the calculations regarding shear resistance, have become increasingly conservative compared to former concrete standards. For example in Voorschriften Beton 1974 (VB 74), a former concrete standard, a shear resistance combination of concrete, stirrups and prestress was allowed. Whereas the Eurocode assumes the...master thesis 2018

Mussche, Henk (author)This thesis research focusses on the development of a reliable and efficient 3D calculation model of an existing high-rise, reinforced concrete building in the Groningen area, in order to analyse the dynamic behaviour of the existing and subsequently retrofitted main bearing structure of this high-rise building. The assessment of the existing...master thesis 2018

CHEN, Xin (author)Bridges with different geometrical configurations have been searched with linear finite element analysis. The aim is to find the position and value of critical proof load. Four different parameters, namely span length, width, skewness and thickness ratio, their influence on proof load are found. In total, 166 sets of data are obtained by...student report 2017

Maheninggalih, Girindra (author)The growth of world population will be the challenge of the century regarding the carbon footprints. The human activities produce both direct and indirect carbon emission that is contributing to the climate change. The construction industry itself contributes around 30 percent of total carbon emissions in the world. Thus, the challenge is to...master thesis 2017

Verbrugge, Marnix (author)This thesis is a study towards in-plane behaviour of masonry shear walls modelled through a predefined crack pattern at macro level. The Semi-Lumped method, proposed by Messali (2015), is analysed in detail to confirm the consequences of the SLM assumptions. This is achieved via literature and numerical validations. The final part of the thesis...master thesis 2017
