Laghmouchi, Kamal (author)In practice, many structures among which quay walls are designed according the Dutch national guidelines (CUR). Dutch national practical guidelines (NPR), with guidelines for renovation, is still in development for the building industry. These guidelines follow the Dutch Norms (NEN) and Annexes. The guidelines propose procedures in which newly...master thesis 2021

De Greef, J. (author)In the province of Groningen in recent years strong induced earthquakes are observed, during which a lot of energy is released in the form of seismic waves. These ultimately lead to horizontal ground accelerations at the ground surface, which affect amongst other things the stability of embankments. The main question to be answered in this...master thesis 2015

Reimert, Z. (author)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...master thesis 2014

Smulders, J. (author)The devastation caused by Hurricane Ike in the Galveston Bay area (Texas, United States of America) proved the necessity of an improved water defense. Multiple flood risk reduction studies were undertaken. The Texas A&M University of Galveston proposed the Ike Dike, a fortification of the coastal spine to prevent a storm surge from entering the...master thesis 2014

Hellebrandt, L. (author)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...master thesis 2014

Van Erp, T.M.J. (author)Since the entrance of the Eurocode a lot of commotion emerged for the hydraulic engineer. The implementation of the Eurocode entailed a problem for the hydraulic structures that are part of the flood defense system. According the law, the locks that are part of the flood defense system should meet the requirements based on the most critical...master thesis 2013

Bron, V.A.G. (author)At different locations in the Caribbean cruise jetties have been damaged during hurricanes. The specific cause of the damage is unknown. In this research the role of the dynamic behaviour of a jetty investigated. This research has the goal to elaborate circumstances under which the dynamic behaviour of the open piled jetty on Sint Maarten...master thesis 2013

Rupke, T. (author)Civil structures, especially hydraulic structures, are subject to influences from the environment around the structure. As a result of these influences the structure degrades, which lowers the strength of the structure. Several actions are available to lower the speed of degradation and/or restore the structure to a certain condition. Within the...master thesis 2013

Wagner, W. (author)Introduction Floods are a threat to millions of people who live in lowlands like the Netherlands. Therefore the Dutch government has been given re-quirements for primary flood defence systems like dikes. The current condition of most of these dikes does not fulfill to these requirements based on flood risk analyses of RWS. The most logical step...master thesis 2012

Wolters, H.J. (author)A committee of Civieltechnisch Centrum Uitvoering Research en Regelgeving (CUR) is currently (2012) working on the update of the handbook Quay Walls (CUR 211). In the past the partial safety factors in this book were derived using a spring model, but new developments enable to use Finite Element Methods (FEM) to model sheet-pile structures and...master thesis 2012

Bus, C.A. (author)Robustness has recently become a popular term in structural and hydraulic engineering. However, the concept of ‘robust design’ or ‘robustness’ has no clear definition. The aim of this thesis was to find a definition for a robust system and to use this definition to search for an added value of robust design in structural engineering. The...master thesis 2012

Van der Meij, M.L. (author)Een prefab bouwmethode is afhankelijk van verticaal transport. Daarnaast neemt de windsnelheid toe op hoogte. In de scriptie is kwantitatief bepaalt hoe groot de invloed van het transportsysteem is op het bouwproces van prefab betonnen hoogbouw boven de 200 meter. Hiervoor is onderzocht hoe de verticale transporttijd de cyclustijd beïnvloedt en...master thesis 2012

Al-Baz, S. (author)Existing structures are deteriorating. The deterioration depends on many factors, including workmanship, and therefore it is difficult to predict the exact deteriorating in time. By inspections it is possible to measure the deterioration and create a model with statistics and curve-fitting. Because of the high consequences C of failure of...master thesis 2011

Liang, J.W. (author)In this thesis the impact of an earthquake on quay walls located at the Euromax terminal of the Port of Rotterdam is analyzed. A quay wall is a soil retaining structure where ships can moore and transfer goods. Seismic behaviour of two different types of quay walls are investigated and compared by performing a seismic analysis on the Euromax...master thesis 2011

De Vlieger, J. (author)De Maas kent een aantal waterbouwkundige kunstwerken die het einde van hun ontwerp levensduur van 50 tot 100 jaar naderen. Het is daardoor van belang te bepalen wat de huidige conditie van de kunstwerken is om de betrouwbaarheid van de Maascorridor te waarborgen. Om de huidige conditie van de kunstwerken te bepalen, dienen de constructieve...master thesis 2011

Hogendoorn, P.P. (author)Because of the wish for, and the necessity of the multiple use of space the amount of tunnels and buildings in close proximity of roads are increasing. Meanwhile the number of transports of dangerous goods is also increasing. Therefore it would be desirable to have a highway network which is fully accessible for the transport of dangerous goods....master thesis 2009

De Boer, E. (author)Floods are a threat to millions of people who are living in lowlands. A lot of research is done about flood risk analysis. A general expression of flood risk is the probability of flooding times the consequences. This graduation research focuses on the probabilities of failure and leaves the consequences out of the comparison. The objective is...master thesis 2007

Maaskant, B. (author)The new flood safety approach for the Netherlands includes, besides the probability of extreme water levels, other type of dike failures and the consequences of a flood. The consequences of a flood are economic damage, materialistic damage and the number of fatalities. To determine the possible number of fatalities during a flood, fatality...master thesis 2007
