Magalla, M. (author)Cracks are commonly occurring phenomena in concrete structures. Cracks provide paths for the ingress of deleterious substances, therefore endangering the durability of the structure. When cracking gets excessive, manual maintenance and repairs are required, which are both costly and time consuming. The demand for durable structures and materials...master thesis 2017

Taorem, S. (author)In the preliminary design phase of an offshore wind turbine, a complete aerodynamic model is not required to assess its feasibility. As a result, engineers often switch to a simple model which is reliable and efficient, economically and computationally. Such a simplified model is based on the research interest. The main objective of this project...master thesis 2017

Bougioukos, A. (author)One of the most commonly used seismic analysis methods, over the last few decades is the equivalent lateral force method. This procedure, which was initially intended for elastic design of structures, has been extended to inelastic design, with the incorporation of the behaviour factor q or with the integration of response spectrum procedures...master thesis 2017

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

De Ruiter, T.M.H. (author)Research shows that the fatigue strength of a Very High Strength Steel (VHSS) can be significantly negatively effected by welds in a structure. The fatigue lifetime may be extended after cracking occurs by means of fatigue crack repair. A better insight by means of Finite ElementModelling (FEM) can help in understanding the effects of a repair...master thesis 2017

Li, S. (author)The near future is challenging: depletion of non-renewable energy depletion, electricity shortage and sustainability give the need of developing renewable energy technology. The solar updraft tower power generation technology using solar and wind generates a reasonable amount of electricity with zero carbon footprint during operation. The...master thesis 2017

Schreurs, E.C.W. (author)The west part of the Netherlands is built in a river delta area. The ground in this area consist of sediment which is deposited by the rivers over the years. This soft soil is not stable enough to support simple foundations for structures, so for centuries people have used timber foundation piles to support structures on the stronger sand layers...master thesis 2017

Gijzen, R.P.T. (author)Multi-storey timber buildings are becoming internationally more and more common. The thriving forces behind this trend involve the sustainable aspects of the material and the rapid development of innovative engineered timber elements. An example of an engineered timber element are crosslaminated timber (CLT) panels. CLT panels consist of cross...master thesis 2017

Hover, J.H.P. (author)Laminated bamboo could be a promising material when it comes to large span roofing structures where often truss structures are adopted. It is assumed that connection design used for timber trusses can also be applied in laminated bamboo trusses. For this research truss nodes with slotted-in steel plates are considered. This research will focus...master thesis 2017

Tuls, J.J. (author)Composite steel-concrete floor systems consist of a trapezoidal shaped steel deck, reinforcement and cast-in-place concrete. Depending on the span, height restrictions and application shallow or deep decks can be chosen. The shallow deck used within this thesis is the ComFlor75. Due to the low self weight, a bundle of steel decks can be lifted...master thesis 2017

van Erp, P.P.F. (author)The horizontal shear capacity of steel-concrete composite floors can only be determinedwith full scale experiments since no good theoretical model is available. Since the properties of the sheeting can change over time due to wear of the rollers, regular testing of the steel concrete slabs is therefore necessary. The last research on the ComFlor...master thesis 2017

Regulations and guidelines for structural glass relate to float glass elements and do not refer to structures of cast glass elements. In addition, to display the...master thesis 2017
