Veerman, R.P. (author), Koenders, E.A.B. (author)De-icing salts, used on roads in heavy winters, may enter reinforced concrete (RC) structures via its capillary pore system or via cracks, initiating reinforcement corrosion and reducing its remaining service-life. Vehicles passing real bridges exert a dynamic impact action that might activate a fatigue failure mechanism. In order to generate...conference paper 2014

Veerman, R.P. (author), Koenders, E.A.B. (author)For understanding the actual state of durability of concrete structures, it is important to know its response due to external loading. This response mainly depends on the actual structural and material properties of the structure, while loaded. Mechanical and chemical degradation are the main mechanisms that may affect these properties with time...conference paper 2014

Wiktor, V.A.C. (author), Sangadji, S. (author), Jonkers, H.M. (author), Schlangen, H.E.J.G. (author)Bacterially induced calcium carbonate precipitation has received considerable attention for its potential application in enforcing or repairing construction material. The mechanism of bacterially mediated calcite precipitation in those studies is primarily based on the enzymatic hydrolysis of urea. Besides calcite precipitation, this reaction...conference paper 2013

Palin, D. (author), Wiktor, V. (author), Jonkers, H.M. (author)Marine concrete structures are exposed to one of the most hostile of natural environments. Many physical and chemical phenomena are usually interdependent and mutually reinforcing in the deterioration of marine exposed concrete: expansion and microcracking due to physical effects increases concrete permeability paving the way for harmful...conference paper 2013

Shabir, Z. (author), Van der Giessen, E. (author), Duarte, C.A. (author), Simone, A. (author)Two different approaches to intergranular crack propagation in brittle polycrystals are contrasted. Crack paths resulting from a method that allows a detailed description of the stress field within a polycrystal are compared to cracks dictated by topological considerations. In the first approach, a fracture path is determined with a Generalized...conference paper 2009

Stroeven, P. (author)Path length measuring is a relevant engineering problem. Leonardo Da Vinci designed for the military appropriate equipment, the podometer, to do so. Modern equipment such as step meters and map meters are quite similar to Da Vinci?s design, despite geometrical statistical - stereological - methods based on theorems of Cauchy and Buffon that were...conference paper 2015

Blagojevi?, A. (author)The service life of concrete structures can be significantly shortened when corrosion of steel reinforcement occurs, especially in a marine environment and in structures exposed to de-icing salts. The influence of load- or deformation-induced cracks on corrosion progress is an important issue which was studied in this research in relation to the...doctoral thesis 2016

Shabir, Z. (author)A deeper understanding of the deformation and failure mechanisms in polycrystals is of utmost importance for their reliable use as engineering materials. These mechanisms are strongly influenced by the geometry of the granular arrangement. In this work, two-dimensional intergranular quasi-static crack propagation in brittle polycrystals and...doctoral thesis 2012

Wiktor, V. (author), Jonkers, H.M. (author)La formation d’un réseau continu de fissures contribue à l’augmentation de la perméabilité du béton, réduisant ainsi de manière importante sa résistance à l’attaque d’agents agressifs dissous dans l’eau. Afin d’augmenter la capacité de cicatrisation autogène du béton, certains agents cicatrisants spécifiques peuvent être incorporés dans la...journal article 2011
