The Narratives of Architectural Scenarios: An Exploration of Cinema Composition

In the 20th century, the field of architecture underwent significant transformations, initiating interdisciplinary collaborations with various artistic domains such as painting, literature, and cinema. This departure from traditional design processes signifies a shifting perspective towards the essence of architecture, thereby creating...

Eye Filmmuseum and TU Delft Library: Investigating design compositions of Dutch architecture at the turn of the millennium

This thesis aims to critically examine the design process of two cultural centres-landmarks, built in the Netherlands in the past decades. The examined projects include the EYE Filmmuseum (DMAA-2011) and the TU Delft Library (Mecanoo-1998). Despite the differences between the two buildings, they share similar starting points regarding the sites...

Simulation of fracture tests on notched composite plates

Size effects influence the behavior of composites and have a great effect on their properties such as strength, type of failure, etc. The effects of size of the specimen on the behavior of composite laminates were studied based on numerical analyses of sharp and blunt notched [45/90/-45/0] 4s carbon/epoxy composite laminates. Five different...

Recycling of composite materials

In this report, an overview of the most common recycling methods for composite materials is created. It describes the process and recyclate characteristics, as well as the (dis)advantages of each method and the environmental and technological development. To draw conclusions on the current feasibility of composite recycling, the gathered data is...

Analytical study on shear behavior of composite concrete slab

Concrete is used significantly in many structures since, the last few centuries. The need to maximize the concrete strength and utilize it's complete potential is the main focus of researchers even in today's modern age. It is thus, important to restore the existing structures apart from developing new materials and technology to build new...

Flexural Behaviour of Reinforced Concrete Beams With a Layer of SHCC In The Tension Zone: Numerical Study By ATENA Model

Strain hardening cementitious composite is a new generation material with increased ductility and improved cracking behaviour as compared to traditionally used Normal Strength Concrete (NSC). An important charactersitic of SHCC is the ability of the fibers (2% PVA) in the composite mixture to bridge the cracks and there by preventing...
