Foroughnia, Fatemeh (author), Macchiarulo, V. (author), Berg, Luis (author), DeJong, Matthew (author), Milillo, Pietro (author), Hudnut, Kenneth W. (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Giardina, Giorgia (author)Regional-scale assessment of the damage caused by earthquakes to structures is crucial for post-disaster management. While remote sensing techniques can be of great help for a quick post-event structural assessment of large areas, currently available methods are limited to the detection of severely-damaged buildings. Furthermore, remote...journal article 2024

Holthuizen, Patrick (author), Zhou, Y. (author), Šavija, B. (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author)The Stiffness Damage Test (SDT), a cyclic test in compression, is considered as a reliable tool for assessing concrete structures affected by ASR. Depending on the extent of ASR damage in concrete, loading levels up to 40% of the compressive strength may contribute to increasing internal damage during testing. Nevertheless, previous research...book chapter 2024

van Batenburg, Tobias (author)Groynes in the Lower Elbe estuary in Germany are subject to attack from overflowing long-period primary ship-induced waves. Damage can occur on the crest and lee side of the structure due to the high turbulent overflowing flow velocities. An actual design tool for groynes exposed to overflowing primary ship waves is not yet present. Therefore,...master thesis 2023

Prosperi, A. (author), Korswagen, Paul A. (author), Korff, M. (author), Schipper, H.R. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)In the Netherlands, the potential damage to the building stock due to subsidence phenomena has recently received increased awareness. However, evaluating and predicting damage to buildings in subsiding areas is a complex task that requires associating the vulnerability of exposed structures with the intensity of the subsidence hazard....journal article 2023

Prosperi, A. (author), Longo, M. (author), Korswagen, Paul A. (author), Korff, M. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)This study aims to investigate the damage response of unreinforced masonry (URM) façades resting on strip foundations and subjected to ground settlements via numerical models. The models depict the non-linear constitutive behaviour of both the masonry, via smeared cracking, and of the soil-foundation interaction, via nonlinear interface...journal article 2023

Verschoor, Fleur (author)Satellite data, such as optical and Synthetic Aperture Radar imagery, can provide information about the location and level of destruction caused by natural hazards. This information is essential to optimise the rescue mission logistics by humanitarian aid organisations and save people in need. Currently, many Automatic Damage Assessment (ADA)...master thesis 2022

Peduto, Dario (author), Prosperi, A. (author), Nicodemo, Gianfranco (author), Korff, M. (author)This study presents a novel framework in which numerical modelling contributes to the performance of district-scale, subsidence-induced damage assessment in cities where ground settlements affect entire quarters. Therein, the implementation of expeditious procedures offers geotechnical engineers the possibility of contributing beyond the...journal article 2022

Zheng, Yonglai (author), Wen, Yuan (author), Pan, Tanbo (author), Liu, Yongcheng (author), Zhou, Yujue (author), Li, Ruizhi (author), Zhou, Y. (author)This study investigated the relationship between the acoustic emission (AE) signals parameter sequence fractal characteristics and the damage evolution information of corroded reinforced concrete (RC) beams under four-point bending. Strength deterioration behavior and AE data can be obtained by coupling the four-point bending test and the AE...journal article 2022

Schlumberger, Julius (author)Flooding has been a serious risk to the old-town of Venice, its residents and cultural heritage and continues to be a challenge in future. Despite this existence-defining condition, limited scientific knowledge on flood hazard and flood damage modelling of the old-town of Venice is available to support decisions to mitigate existing and future...master thesis 2021

Marasco, Sebastiano (author), Cardoni, Alessandro (author), Zamani Noori, Ali (author), Kammouh, O. (author), Domaneschi, Marco (author), Cimellarof, Gian Paolo (author)Due to the increasing frequency of disastrous events, the challenge of creating large-scale simulation models has become of major significance. Indeed, several simulation strategies and methodologies have been recently developed to explore the response of communities to natural disasters. Such models can support decision-makers during...journal article 2021

Macchiarulo, V. (author), Milillo, Pietro (author), DeJong, Matthew J. (author), González Martí, Javier (author), Sánchez, Jordi (author), Giardina, Giorgia (author)Structural deformation monitoring is crucial for the identification of early signs of tunnelling-induced damage to adjacent structures and for the improvement of current damage assessment procedures. Satellite multi-temporal interferometric synthetic aperture radar (MT-InSAR) techniques enable measurement of building displacements over time...journal article 2021

van Wierst, Bas (author)During construction of breakwaters, adverse weather conditions can result in damage, in the form of reshaping and loss of material to the open work fronts of the structure. Based on literature research, analysis of work methods, analysis of damage to older breakwater projects and interviews, it was deduced that during construction, the open work...master thesis 2019

Messali, F. (author), Esposito, R. (author), Jafari, S. (author), Ravenshorst, G.J.P. (author), Korswagen, Paul A. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)In recent years, induced seismicity in the north of the Netherlands significantly increased. As a consequence, the seismic assessment of the built environment, which mainly consists of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures not designed for seismic loads, became of high relevance. Within this context, an extensive multiscale testing program has...conference paper 2018
