Advanced Cementitious Materials (ACM’s) are products with materials found in conventional concrete (cement, silica fume, sand, superplasticizer, and water) plus distinctive materials like fibers (steel, carbon) and quartz. The superiority of ACM’s in terms of strength, ductility, and durability marks it as high potential replacement of...

Many old moveable bridges have exceeded their technical lifetime. Replacement of the foundations is expensive and often unnecessary if the new bridge superstructure is lighter than the old one. With stricter design guidelines being in effect nowadays, a conventional orthotropic steel deck design will end up being heavier. A lightweight fiber...

Building and maintenance of the railway track and its sub- and superstructures in the Netherlands are commissioned by ProRail. In addition to the Eurocode ProRail prescribes a wide range of regulations and guidelines related to railway track. Amongst these are a few specifically for the design of civil structures. With respect to prestressed...

Bascule bridges can be designed with two operating mechanisms in order to open and close the bridge. Due to certain effects a difference in force per mechanism can occur. Therefore the Dutch standard for movable bridge, the VOBB, states to use a force distribution of 1/3 - 2/3 between the mechanisms. This means that both the mechanisms are...

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,...

In structural design there is a tendency towards more slender and challenging architectural structures. Footbridges become more slender with an increasing high ratio live load to dead weight. A consequence of this increased slenderness of footbridges in an increased susceptibility to human-induced vibrations. The evaluation of the serviceability...

By making use of HSC the box girders of Spanbeton are designed more slender. Use was made of additional prestressing and additional stirrups. Steel fibers were used to increase the ductility of the HSC. Besides the ductility, the steel fibers were used to increase the shear capacity of the concrete. Due to this increase, less stirrups were needed.

This thesis investigates and presents the practical applicability of Monte Carlo analysis for the structural reliability assessment of existing city bridges. A probabilistic traffic load model for short span bridges is developed to serve as input for reliability calculations. A traffic loading model for short-span bridges is proposed, which is...

The demand for the reduction of maintenance of structures especially those in marine environments is increasing and more is asked of structures in terms of durability and capacity. Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) could be a solution to reduce the maintenance of these structures, because of its high durability and as an ad-vantages lighter...

Moen, J.C. (author)
The material properties of fibre reinforced polymer composites fundamentally differ from construction steel, and therefore a different approach is required in the design of structures composed of this material. Simple substitution of steel elements by composite counterparts will inevitably result in inefficient structures. When the material’s...

Jol, J.J. (author)
Fatigue damage is a common problem in a lot of bridges with orthotropic steel decks. Frequent maintenance is required to prevent aggravation of the problems, which gives a lot of nuisance for the traffic using the bridge. This comes especially into play at large (river) crossings where not many alternatives are available. Therefore, methods are...

Seaway Heavy Lifting is an offshore contractor that transports, installs and decommissions offshore oil and gas platforms and offshore wind turbines. During transport, objects need to be secured on the deck, the so-called seafastening. In particular for parts of offshore wind turbines, called Transition Pieces, this proves to be difficult. The...

Tensegrity corresponds to a structural principle consisting of strut and tie elements forming a 3D ensemble. The amazing, impressive and unusual character of tensegrities leads to the wondering of structural and functional performance of tensegrity. This results in interest concerning possibilities of applying tensegrity as load carrying...

Low cycle corrosion fatigue is an interesting issue in civil Engineering because it may effect the lifetime of structures in negative and unexpected ways. However, analysis of design codes has revealed that low cycle corrosion fatigue is not a major issue in the design of offshore structures because these structures are designed with a global...

In this thesis a feasibility study is performed for the design of fibre reinforeed polymer (FRP-) slides to replace the steel slides in the Eastern Scheldt storm surge harrier. The advantage of using FRP-slides is the far better corrosion resistance then in case of using steel. For the design different variants of FRP-slides have been...

Fibre Reinforced Polymer bridge decks, thanks to their beneficial properties and various advantages over traditional materials, have great potential as a material used in bridge engineering. They exercise high specific strength and stiffness-to-weight-ratio, a property particularly interesting from the point of view of designers, as it provides...

The Netherlands contains more than 400 hydraulic structures, of which 120 are locks. Inspections carried out since 2010 by Rijkswaterstaat revealed that a number of cracks per lock gate have been found. Based on experience and an evaluation of the photos made during the inspections it is assumed that the cracks occur due to fatigue. At this...
