Van der Velde, O. (author)Over the years, glass has been increasingly used as a structural building material. Structural calculations on glass are conservative because the strength is quite uncertain. Weibull plots of the strength of glass can range from 20 MPa to 150 MPa. This is caused by flaws, which are not visibile to the human eye and therefore it is difficult to...master thesis 2015

Van Breugel, K. (author), Van Tuan, N. (author)Ultra High Strength Concrete (UHPC) is generally made with low w/c mixtures and by adding silica fume. Low w/c mixtures, however, exhibit high autogenous shrinkage, while a high amount of silica fume increases the price of these mixtures. For designing ultra high strength mixtures with low autogenous shrinkage and lower costs the possibility of...conference paper 2014

Qiu, J. (author), Van de Ven, M. (author), Wu, S. (author), Yu, J. (author), Molenaar, A. (author)The self-healing capability of bituminous materials has been known for many years. Researches were mostly focused on the self healing behaviour during load repetitions. The tests are either time consuming and/or complex. In this paper, a simple self healing test procedure is presented combining the fracture-healing-re-fracture test (FHR) with...journal article 2012

Van Es, S.H.J. (author)When high strength steels are applicated in dynamically loaded structures, fatigue problems can arise. In most current design codes, the fatigue strength of high strength steels is either not discussed or determined as similar to mild steels. This assumption can be related to the dominance of the crack propagation life during in the total...master thesis 2012
