Odijk, T. (author)In Rotterdam underneath the first load bearing sand layer is a layer of compressible soil, called the "Kedichem" layer. Under this layer of compresible soil is another load bearing sand layer located, at approximately -50m NAP, but most of the buildings in Rotterdam are foundated on the first loadbearing sand layer at approximately -23m NAP. Due...master thesis 2017

Hummelen, J.C. (author)In this thesis a particular structural system for high-rise structures is discussed: the prefabricated concrete framed tube and tube-in-tube structures. These system consist of a prefabricated concrete perforated elements in the perimeter of the structure that are the main lateral load resisting elements in the building. For tube-in-tube...master thesis 2015

Poot, M.W. (author)The application of reinforced concrete in the load bearing structures of high-rise buildings requires awareness of the time-dependent behavior of the material. During the first few years after pouring of the concrete the elements will shorten, caused by shrinkage and creep. This may result in problems concerning non-load-bearing elements, which...master thesis 2013

Herfst, H.R. (author)During a design competition held in 2010, a preliminary design was made for an extension on top of the Oval tower. The Oval Tower is an existing building with a height of about 100m. However, following that competition, this design was never put into practice. According to experts in the field, this project still has a great potential. It was...master thesis 2013

Ten Hagen, S.J. (author)The number of high-rise buildings and their corresponding height are increasing in the world. However, the highest building in the world with a load bearing precast structure is only 132m high (Het Strijkijzer in The Hague). Is this the maximum height of precast concrete or can we achieve greater heights with this building method? And how do the...master thesis 2012
