Van der Wilt, C.J.A. (author)The focus of this study is to research if ecc/frc is applicable for integral bridges. Integral bridge are bridges without or partly without intermediaries. A bridge normally consist of a substructure, superstructure and intermediaries. The superstructure comprises the bridge deck and the substructure consist of the abutments, piers and the...master thesis 2014

Kranenburg, M.C. (author)The application of prefabricated and usually prestressed concrete elements has increased since mid-20th century. These elements are at the point of reaching the end of their life span, are subjected to damages or a change in functionality. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate their structural safety. In many cases, existing structures do not...master thesis 2014

Beers, F.N. (author)Nowadays more and more slender concrete footbridges are designed. Footbridges are designed thinner to increase esthetic value, as well as incorporate sustainability and to reduce building costs, with a consequence that the eigenfrequency of the bridge can drop so low that it may fall into a range of frequencies that is susceptible to vibrations...master thesis 2014

Petropoulou, G.D. (author)Introduction Many researchers have been discovered that bridge deck slabs which were designed to fail in bending, mostly fail under punching shear mode at a higher load than the expected for bending, because of the effect of in-plane compressive membrane forces, induced by the lateral restrained boundary conditions. Punching and bending failure...master thesis 2013

Snijders, A.M.M. (author)Within this document the differences arising from the transition of the NEN (Dutch code) to the Eurocode are studied with respect to shear failure and fatigue. These differences are investigated on a global level, where in addition the fib Model Code is taken into account. In the next part the actual differences are determined within a case...master thesis 2013

Meerdink, L.A. (author)This thesis focuses on the behaviour of micropiles under axial tensile loading and modelling of the pile head displacement of micropiles. In the behaviour of micropiles, defined in load and corresponding pile head displacement, the development of the shear stress along the pile shaft is found to be of leading influence. This development of the...master thesis 2013

Onstein, R.C.P. (author)The research showed that there is only a poor relation between second order bending moment magnification via Euler buckling and the actual geometrically nonlinear behaviour of arches. The better approach for the second order effect is to think of additional bending moments caused by imperfections and by the imaginary second order loading. The...master thesis 2013

Jongejans, E. (author)Recently several studies have been performed at the TUDelft on the use of the generalized finite element method (GFEM) to model fiber reinforced composite materials in a two dimensional space. The GFEM model allows a large number of arbitrarily placed fibers to be taken into account. The fibers are placed on top of the ordinary mesh and...master thesis 2012

Van Vliet, E. (author)In skew bridges torsion occurs. This leads to a substantial amount of reinforcement stirrups. Minalu already did research to torsion in bridge decks with different types of finite element models. The question when torsion cracks will really occur is still unanswered. This question is the main subject of this research. The focus of the research...master thesis 2012

De Goede, T.J.P.M. (author)Since the first high strength concrete mixtures were designed in the 1970s, a lot of research is performed. Despite the recommendations that were written, full legislative coverage of high strength concrete remained unavailable. The new Eurocodes are also valid for high strength concrete, so the question rises how high strength concrete can be...master thesis 2011

Weidema, V.M. (author)Usually, concrete bridges contain a ‘thick’ bridge deck. For various reasons, bridges are constructed with railings. This thesis discusses the stability problem of concrete bridges, which are designed with integrated railings into the carrying construction. The most important advantage, using load bearing railings, is a thinner bridge deck. This...master thesis 2011

Voormeeren, L.O. (author)When analyzing three-dimensional problems with nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA) often problems are encountered such as bifurcation and divergence of the solution. In particular, cases subjected to tension softening tend to encourage the emergence of multiple equilibrium paths. In order to overcome these problems the Sequentially Linear...master thesis 2011

De Rooij, R.F.C. (author)Research about the influence of compressive membrane action on the loading capacity of laterally restrained prestressed concrete slabs. The thesis consists of four parts: - literature research; - comparison New Zealand code; - investigation theory's; - investigation FEM-analysis.master thesis 2011

Mulder, J. (author)During the construction of a station of the north south line in Amsterdam a leak in the diaphragm wall lead to severe damage to adjacent buildings. The leak consisted of a clay deposit caught near the joint. Until the excavation reached the level of the deposit, the deposit acted as a seal. After the excavation it started to leak and eventually...master thesis 2011

De Boer, M. (author)New and current materials for bridge bearings are subjected to tests, according to the European Standards (NEN-EN 1337). With these tests the materials are not subjected to forces, displacements and rotations that are similar to those in practice. In order to give a critical opinion about the tests, it is necessary to obtain more knowledge about...master thesis 2011

Bos, V. (author)Structural bearings in bridges are subjected to loads and movements, causing wear of bearing components as PTFE-sheets, guides and internal seals. Nowadays, these components are tested for durability according to EN 1337. The parameters and procedures in these tests are questioned and, therefore, investigated in an existing plate-girder bridge...master thesis 2011

Mohan, S.A. (author)With an increasing population in the Netherlands, people started to live relatively close to the primary road network. This led to major noise hindrance issues. As a solution it was decided to apply porous asphalt surfaces on the primary road network. These types of surface layers have a relatively open structure compared to traditionally...master thesis 2010

Halim Saleh, A. (author)Introduction This graduation project has been initiated to research the technical feasibility of floating bridges. The project has been done in co-operation with the FDN engineering company and Delft technical university. A design is made of a continuous pontoon floating bridge, which connects a mainland to an island. Floating bridges can be...master thesis 2010

Van der Woerdt, W.H. (author)Structural slabs on underwater concrete are widely applied in the construction of tunnels, parking garages, rail- and road construction. Over the years many problems have been reported with aquiferous crack formation in structural slabs on underwater concrete. Aquiferous trough crack formation threatens the durability of structural slabs on...master thesis 2010

Beijer, A.J. (author)With the URUP (Ultra Rapid UnderPass) method short underpasses for cyclists and pedestrians below roads and railways can be constructed. With this method a tunnel boring machine (TBM) starts on surface, bores an underpass, and ends on surface. The cross section of the underpass has a rectangular shape. Contractor Van Hattum en Blankevoort (VHB)...master thesis 2010
