van der Voordt, Theo (author)A red thread in my academic carrier of over 40 years is the development and sharing of knowledge about the experience and use of the built environment, including offices, health care facilities, childcare facilities, learning environments, housing, and public spaces. The latter is currently part of urban FM. My main drive to do this for such a...book chapter 2024

Gîrbacea, Andrei (author), Nijgh, M.P. (author), Veljkovic, M. (author)Composite beams are commonly used in current design practice due to their efficient material use and competitive execution. The shear connection is mainly achieved by means of headed studs welded on the top flange. However, the welded connectors obstruct the possibility of a non‐destructive disassembly required to reuse the steel beams and...conference paper 2019

Gritsenko, Alina (author), Nijgh, M.P. (author), Veljkovic, M. (author)Composite slab consisting of in‐situ casted reinforced concrete on profiled sheeting, which is connected to steel beams by shear connectors, is a common structural flooring system in office buildings and car parks. The headed welded studs are inexpensive and rather easy to use in‐situ because they can be welded to the steel beam through the...conference paper 2019

Schott, D.L. (author), van den Hoed, M. (author)This article reviews the equipment and technology used for transport and handling of break bulk or general cargo on break bulk terminals. The product groups in break bulk are categorized into five groups: bags, bananas, steel and timber, project cargo, and roll‐on roll‐off. Each of the categories has its own specialized equipment for efficient...book chapter 2018

Pavinato Olimpio, E. (author), Gomez Alvarez, D.R. (author), Youk, H.O. (author)Living systems, particularly multicellular systems, often seem hopelessly complex. But recent studies have suggested that, beneath this complexity, there may be unifying quantitative principles that are only now starting to unravel. All cells interact with their environments and with other cells. Communication among cells is a primary means for...book chapter 2017

Abspoel, R. (author)In a material economy driven plate girder design, the lever arm between the flanges will increase. This leads to higher stiffness and bending moment resistance, but also to an in-crease of the web slenderness. This means that high strength steels can be used leading to a large reduction of the steel consumption. However, Eurocode 3 [3] restricts...conference paper 2016
