Wu, Haoming (author)Alkali-activated material (AAM) is one of the most attractive alternatives to ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Recently, more and more research interests are devoted to durability performance. In cold areas, freeze-thaw resistance is a crucial durability factor for concrete. However, the understanding of the freeze-thaw resistance of AAMs is...master thesis 2023

Mota Lontra, Bernardo (author)The Netherlands is a northwestern European country. The location makes the Netherlands an important entry for trade to the European continent resulting in high traffic intensities [1]. The Netherlands has one of the densest road networks in the world, having over 139.000km of roadways [2, 3]. The understanding of the link between the functional...master thesis 2022

van Akker, Jorn (author)Because of the sustainability transition in the asphalt industry, it is increasingly popular to apply reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) instead of new asphalt. Then, less new material is needed and the amount of waste products is reduced. However, there are questions regarding the performance of asphalt mixtures with high RAP percentages,...master thesis 2022

Schrijvers, Bart (author)This research investigates how the current friction design standard should be improved, specifically for monopile sea fastening with polymers. Literature and results from tests performed previously to this research are investigated in order to obtain a complete overview of the factors that should be considered in the design standard. Additional...master thesis 2022

Spek, Mike (author)The first part of this thesis investigated different pre-treatment methods of the fine glass dust in order to increase the reactivity when it was used as a cement replacement in cementitious mixtures. The results showed that the optimal pre-treatment for the fine glass dust was a heat-treatment at 600∘C for 1 hour combined with a grinding...master thesis 2022

Benschop, Michiel (author)Due to increasingly efficient engineering of the last decades, the design process for civil structures is heading in the direction of optimal solutions. Among other things, the reduction in self-weight enhances the susceptibility to dynamic loads. As the process for the determination of realistic modal parameters from a digital model often...master thesis 2022

Jouna, Behnam (author)In transition zones, railway tracks experience significant inhomogeneity in their mechanical properties—more specifically in vertical stiffness. In such areas, conventional tracks (soft tracks) are typically encountered with other engineering structures with noticeably larger stiffness, such as bridges and culverts (stiff tracks). This...master thesis 2022

Peeters, Tjeu (author)The increasing traffic load on highway bridges provides a need for replacement or improvement of the bridge decks. The design of a new bridge deck using fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) bridge decks raises questions on the connection of a FRP bridge deck to a steel superstructure. At the Tu Delft a bolted connector injected with steel reinforced...master thesis 2022
