Korswagen Eguren, P.A. (author)The possibility of multi-hazards, the occurrence of two or more (natural) hazards at once or shortly after another in the same location, can lead to an increased risk of structural damage and life loss. In the Netherlands, seismically-unprepared houses are especially vulnerable to newly expected earthquakes in the region of Groningen. These...master thesis 2016

Arends, I. (author), Lokin, L.R. (author), de Jong, H.C. (author), Cijsouw, W. (author)The Tha Chin River is a river in central Thailand, which starts in Chainat province as a branch of the Chao Phraya River and flows into the Gulf of Thailand at about 35 km southwest of Bangkok. The Tha Chin is one of Thailand’s most important rivers and it plays a vital role for the lives of over two million people living in this basin. Near the...student report 2016

Fire resistance of existing structures: Assessing the fire resistance of existing concrete buildingsZandbergen, T. (author)Many vacant buildings that are reused are constructed in concrete. With concrete, one thought to have found a solution for the fire resistance of buildings. Today it appears that the fire resistance of concrete is not always a matter of course. Therefore, it is important to properly asses the fire resistance of existing concrete buildings. With...master thesis 2016

(author)In 2015 Georgetown, Guyana suffered from major flooding due to heavy rainfall. The use of a centuries-old agricultural drainage system for the urban drainage of the largest urbanized area of Guyana, poses problems considering flood safety. In 2016 a report was published by a ‘Dutch Risk Reduction Team’ (DRR Team) with recommendations on how to...student report 2016

de Hoon, M.J. (author)In the field of building physics the performance of the building envelope is a highly studied topic. Heat, light, sound and humidity are common topics to include in design requirements. Air tightness is becoming increasingly common in this list, but it still lacks for detailed information on performance requirements or calculation methods. When...master thesis 2016

(author)A multidisciplinary project at Universidad Católica de la Santísima Concepción, supervised by the Delft University of Technology. Coquimbo is a port city approximately 400 km north of Santiago and lies next to La Serena. Coquimbo was recently hit by a tsunami on the 16th of September 2015. Most damage occurred in Coquimbo Bay, which is the scope...student report 2016

Kraczla, M.J. (author)Numerous structures constructed in 60’s and 70’s are now reaching their design service life and require reassessment to assure safety of users, reliability and economical exploitation. As a consequence, an adequate structural assessment of existing bridges has recently become a major subject of scientific work commissioned by the authorities in...master thesis 2016

Kusters, J.F. (author)The research is aimed at defining the hurdles in the pre-award phase of Best Value Procurement (BVP) projects and providing a solution to overcome those problems for engineering companies. The pre-award phase includes the period between the conditional award (Dutch: voornemen tot gunning) and the definitive award (Dutch: definitieve gunning). In...master thesis 2016

van Wijnbergen, E.C.M. (author)The traditional brick masonry houses in the Kathmandu valley of Nepal are highly vulnerable to seismic excitations, due to their low-strength masonry material and the lack of sufficient connections. Research is needed on how to make these houses more earthquake resistant; preferably without interfering with the original architecture. Tying the...master thesis 2016

Winkel, J. (author)Even though for most hydraulic and geotechnical structures clear guidelines are available, those for flexible dolphins are still missing. Consequently, whether a design is safe is usually subject of debate. Economical dolphin piles are large diameter tubular piles, susceptible to local buckling. After installation the embedded part of these...master thesis 2016

Xiong, Z. (author)This thesis discusses the connections between high-strength concrete columns and normal-strength concrete floors. In practical design, considering the advantage of high-strength concrete in taking compression, a continuous HSC column is intersected by NSC floor. It is of great interest to understand the mechanism of load transmission through...master thesis 2016

Gommer, B. (author)This research aims at improving the performance of Helmholtz resonators by adding resistance using additive manufacturing. Current use of Helmholtz resonators is focused on tonal applications and modal issues, because of the frequency specific behaviour. A normal Helmholtz resonator curve has a decreasing bandwidth when the peak increases. The...master thesis 2016

Kamsteeg, A.C. (author)This MSc. Thesis research attempts to research the spatial distribution of natural light as it interacts with the glass brick masonry façade, in terms of both its quantitative- and qualitative characteristics, with the aim of applying this material in the transformation of historic buildings. An elaborate research on the visual effects of light...master thesis 2016
