Hashemi, A. (author)In this thesis, I highlighted a number of projects aimed at developing and testing new simulation methods for studying complex reactive systems, with a particular emphasis on simulation strategies based on the concept of bonding graphs. These mathematical structures provide useful tools for a variety of algorithms developed over the last few...doctoral thesis 2023

Noll, B.L. (author)Floods appear in many of the world's oldest stories (i.e. Noah and the Arc in the Abrahamic religions, Manu in Hinduism, and the Gun-Yu myth in Chinese mythology). When observed historically, they often have an element of mysticism about them, symbolizing eradication and rebirth. In the present, however, there is little that is mystical about...doctoral thesis 2023

Eisfeld, R.C.M. (author)Fresh water is an essential resource for life. Yet, overexploitation of water resources, rainfall shortages, and a decrease in water quality by pollution increase water scarcity worldwide. Since agricultural production consumes about 70% of the available fresh water resources, it is particularly vulnerable for water scarcity. Therefore, this...doctoral thesis 2023

Idsinga, Johannes (author)An extensive Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is used to determine the efficiency in reducing the carbon footprint of a graving dock. Firstly by identifying the hotspots in a base design, and then by comparing the various design alternatives. The focus is on reducing the amount of reinforced concrete used in the design of the dock floor by adding...master thesis 2023

Kisoensingh, Arvind (author)Flexural shear failure is a brittle failure mode that can occur in reinforced concrete (RC) beams without stirrups due to the combination of flexural and shear stresses. The failure mode begins with vertical flexural cracks at the bottom of the RC beam central span area due to flexural tensile stresses, followed by diagonal cracks. During...master thesis 2023

Patibandla, Akul Sai (author)There is an increase in the amount of CO2 emissions in the past few decades and the process of capturing it back is at a much lower rate. The need of the hour is to reduce the emission rate or even avoid producing them in certain aspects. There is a transition towards renewable energy sources<br/>that could help us maintain the balance required....master thesis 2023
