Gerats, Steven (author)With more than half of all food waste taking place at home, a transition in our consumer behaviour is needed if we want a future with less waste. While supermarkets and food producers have strong incentives and have the tools to reduce waste on their side, consumers seem to be less concerned about wasting food. However, they are also caught in a...master thesis 2023

Janssens, Floris (author)The construction industry contributes significantly to global emissions. In response to the growing concern about climate change, new methods are being developed to reduce these emissions. Building with timber is one such approach, as it can be CO2 neutral if reforestation is practiced. Timber is a lightweight and flexible material compared to...master thesis 2023

van den Wildenberg, Eline (author)This master thesis shows the research and design to tackle overconsumption of products within the context of recreational shopping practices in city centres. Thereby show the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management how they could tackle the ‘Refuse’ strategy of their Circular R-ladder, which is currently unexplored.<br/><br/>Why...<br/>....master thesis 2023

Joshi, Amey (author)The light and frequent earthquakes in the north of the Netherlands, particularly in the province of Groningen, have recently exposed the unreinforced masonry structures to seismic activities. Since these structures do not adhere to seismic regulations, they are considered vulnerable to seismicity. The ultimate state capacity of the structures is...master thesis 2023

Nevostrueva, Anna (author)People are the main asset of a consultancy firm, and a Project Manager is a key figure in the delivery of projects. Change Management theories suggest that the success of change efforts relies on three components: Leadership, Project Management and Change Management. Therefore, successful sustainability implementation depends significantly on...master thesis 2023

Brill, Patrick (author)To improve the safety of commercial air transport, pilots are required to train on simulators to recognize the characteristics of an impeding stall and subsequently correctly recover from it. To prevent negative training, it is important that the accuracy of the used simulation models is high. A manner to model the nonlinear, unsteady...master thesis 2023

RAMOS, STEPHANIE (author)Tensioned membrane structures are increasingly in demand, because of their ability to cover large spaces with minimum use of material. The material’s mechanical properties play a key role in the design of such structures. The shear behaviour is one of the main influential properties of woven textiles during complex deformations, such as the ones...master thesis 2023

Wang, Quanyi (author)Car-following behaviour is a fundamental element for vehicle manoeuvre. The heterogeneity among driving behaviour has gained significant importance since some researchers argued that it might be relevant to capacity drop and traffic oscillations. Driver space is an area around a vehicle, and drivers will feel a rapid increase in discomfort when...student report 2023

den Heeten, Myrthe (author)This research aims to encourage healthy behaviour within the built environment using a technique called nudging. Mostly used outside of the field of architecture, nudging aims to improve health by presenting options in such a way people a more likely to choose one option (a healthier alternative), without losing any freedom of choice. <br/><br/...master thesis 2023

de Vilder, Laurens (author)Experimental research into the spalling behaviour of mortars and if it is possible to predict the spalling resistance. Research is divided into spalling experiments with varying parameters and experiments to analyse and characterize the pore structure. By combining both results, a first step is taken into a formula that is able to predict the...master thesis 2023

Mouri Sardar Abadi, P. (author), Baluch, Abrar H. (author), Sebaey, T. A. (author), Peeters, D.M.J. (author), Barzegar, M. (author), Lopes, C. S. (author)This work aims to improve the flexural behaviour of unidirectional fibre-reinforced laminates by means of coupling an optimization procedure for quasi-isotropic configurations with the design space opened by dispersed-ply orientations. The design approach consists of finding suitable alternatives to traditional laminates (with fibre...journal article 2023

Ni, Ying (author), Li, Y. (author), Yuan, Y. (author), Sun, Jian (author)In recent years, the interest in riding in cities using the two-wheeler (e.g., bicycles, electric bicycles, electric mopeds, etc.) increases. Mixed-traffic road segments are one of the most common traffic scenes where the mixed two-wheeler flows exist. Because the movements are often not restricted by lanes, the two-wheeler uses lateral road...journal article 2023

Rahmillah, Fety Ilma (author), Tariq, Amina (author), King, Mark (author), Oviedo-Trespalacios, O. (author)Maladaptive Mobile Phone Use (MMPU) (also known as Smartphone Addiction, Nomophobia, Fear of Missing Out, or Problematic Mobile Phone Use) is a growing mental health problem. However, the health and safety consequences of MMPU remain unexplored in many real-life contexts. A potential setting where MMPU may have some negative repercussions is on...journal article 2023

Visser, Mirjam (author), Schoormans, J.P.L. (author)To reduce energy consumption of households, many appliances contain eco-settings, which when used, reduce energy consumption. However, the effectivity of the eco-settings in reducing energy consumption is hardly tested. Other design for sustainable behaviour strategies like coercion and feedback might be more effective. To test the...journal article 2023

Alfaiate, J. (author), Sluys, Lambertus J. (author)In quasi-brittle materials, such as reinforced concrete, localisation of initially diffuse cracking evolving in localised cracking patterns consists of a numerically challenging task. With conventional iterative methods, convergence of the numerical solution scheme to model crack localisation is often difficult to obtain. On the other hand,...journal article 2023

Quy Nguyen-Phuoc, Duy (author), Ngoc Thi Nguyen, Ly (author), Ngoc Su, Diep (author), Nguyen Hoang Minh, M. (author), Oviedo-Trespalacios, O. (author)Food delivery riders are overrepresented in road crashes. Arguably, the increased risk experienced by food delivery riders is linked to the working conditions offered by the “gig economy”. Research is needed to fully understand the safety-related issues this vulnerable group of road users face daily and identify opportunities for counter...journal article 2023

Truelove, Verity (author), Watson-Brown, Natalie (author), Oviedo-Trespalacios, O. (author)Objectives: Various legal countermeasures have been introduced in numerous jurisdictions worldwide to reduce the risky behaviour of phone use while driving. However, external factors do not influence behaviour alone; internal factors may also play a large role in influencing behaviour. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the impact...journal article 2023

(author)A restructuring of the current mobility and transportation system seems to be inescapable, as a result of the increasing urbanization and challenges regarding global sustainability. The concept of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) is regarded by policy-makers as an answer to the needed change. Generally speaking, MaaS is an online platform that...journal article 2023
