Boelders, Twan (author)The Netherlands is a densely populated country with a congested road and railway network. Therefore more and more highways are widened and expanded. These wider highways create a demand for bridges which are suited for longer spans. These bridge solutions should constructed with a minimum of hindrance for other traffic. Rijkswaterstaat, also...master thesis 2019

Van der Linde, W.B. (author)The intent of US design codes is to design buildings with uniform reliability regardless of the building type, location, or design approach. However, it is unlikely that risk-consistency is achieved for different design approaches, as differences and discrepancies between these design methodologies exist. This study focused on the structural...master thesis 2015

Paskvalin, A. (author)A study has been performed in the application of Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) in the new Leiden Bridge. It has been compared with normal strength and high performance concrete. The goal was to investigate if UHPC could be used as a serious alternative next to other types of concrete for a design in bridges. The research showed that...master thesis 2015

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

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
