Zhou, J. (author), Qian, S. (author), Sierra Beltran, M.G. (author), Ye, G. (author), Van Breugel, K. (author), Li, V.C. (author)Nowadays limestone powder and blast furnace slag (BFS) are widely used in concrete as blended materials in cement. The replacement of Portland cement by limestone powder and BFS can lower the cost and enhance the greenness of concrete, since the production of these two materials needs less energy and causes less CO2 emission than Portland cement...journal article 2009

With, C. (author), Metrikine, A.V. (author), Bodare, A. (author)As the demand for predictions of train-induced vibrations is increasing, it is essential that adequate parameters of the railway structure are given as input in the predictions. Gathering this information can be quite time-consuming and costly, especially when predictions are required for the low-frequency emission. This article presents a...journal article 2009

Midorikawa, T. (author), Pelova, G.I. (author), Walraven, J.C. (author)Self-Compacting Concrete is a relatively new type of concrete. Up to now only a few models have been developed to explain its physical behaviour, like the Water Layer Model and the Excess Paste Model. In this paper, the difference between the Water Layer Model and the Excess Paste Model is highlighted, and the validity of the Water Layer Model...journal article 2009

Yang, Y. (author), Walraven, J.C. (author), den Uijl, J.A. (author)In this paper a brief overview on the effect of tension stiffening in normal strength concrete and High Performance Fiber Concrete (HPFC) is given. On the basis of an existing model, several simplifications are proposed to describe the post-cracking performance of HPFC, and a simplified model for practical application is developed. This model is...journal article 2009

Grünewald, S. (author), Walraven, J.C. (author)The development of self-compacting concrete (SCC) was an important step towards efficiency at building sites, rationally producing prefabricated concrete elements, better working conditions and improved quality and appearance of concrete structures. By adding fibres to SCC bar reinforcement can be replaced and the performance of concrete...journal article 2009

Ye, G. (author), Van Breugel, K. (author)In recent years, the durability of reinforced or prestressed concrete structures has become a main concern. A key parameter in durability predictions is the microstructure of the surface zone of concrete structures, i.e. the “covercrete”, more in particular the connectivity of the pores in the cement paste matrix. In this paper, the connectivity...journal article 2009

Fennis, S.A.A.M. (author), Walraven, J.C. (author), Den Uijl, J.A. (author)Ecological concrete can be designed by replacing cement with fillers. With low amounts of cement it becomes increasingly important to control the water demand of concrete mixtures. In this paper a cyclic design method based on particle packing is presented and evaluated on the basis of experiments on cement pastes combined with quartz powder....journal article 2009

Schumacher, P. (author), Walraven, J.C. (author), Den Uijl, J.A. (author), Bigaj-van Vliet, A. (author)Steel fibres are known to enhance the toughness of concrete in compression and in tension. Steel fibres also improve the bond properties between concrete matrix and reinforcing steel bars. In order to investigate the effect of steel fibres on the rotation capacity of reinforced concrete members, four simply supported beams were loaded in three...journal article 2009

Li, Z. (author), Arias-Cuevas, O. (author), Lewis, R. (author), Gallardo-Hernández, E.A. (author)Leaf-related adhesion problems have been present in many railway networks all over the world in the last few decades. Since the early 1970s many measures have been undertaken in order to mitigate the problem. One of the measures adopted by many railway networks is the use of friction modifiers. However, the low adhesion problem still persists....journal article 2008

Hoogenboom, P.C.J. (author), De Boer, A. (author)Reinforcement in a concrete structure is often determined based on linear elastic stresses. This paper considers computation of the required reinforcement when these stresses have been determined by the finite element method with volume elements. Included are both tension reinforcement and compression reinforcement, multiple load combinations...journal article 2008

Pannachet, T. (author), Askes, H. (author), Sluys, L.J. (author)An error estimator, formulated earlier for h-adaptive strategies, is extended for use in the p-version finite element analysis. The estimation of error is based on solving a series of local problems, based on patches consisting of elements surrounding each node, with prescribed homogeneous essential boundary conditions. Unlike the original...journal article 2008

Van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)A creep analysis has been performed on nailed, toothed-plates and split-ring joints in a varying uncontrolled climate. The load levels varied between 30% and 50% of the average ultimate short term strength of these joints, tested in accordance with ISO 6891. The climate in which the tests were performed varied between about 40% and 90% relative...journal article 2008

Guo, Z. (author), Sluys, L.J. (author)The simulation of rubber-like material behaviour by means of the finite element method has been described in this study. Proper material models were selected for the numerical description of static hyper-elasticity. The combinations of a continuum damage mechanics concept and a pseudo-elastic concept with Gao's elastic law were used to simulate...journal article 2008
