Building response due to deep excavations in Delft: Criteria vs. performance

This thesis is focusing on the building damage parameters monitoring techniques and the validation of the current damage prediction methodology on building response next to deep excavations. Settlement risk assessments were done in Delft tunnel project to define and control the risk of damaging the adjacent buildings to the tunnel by following...

A feasibility study of building monitoring and forensic engineering with Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar

The last years have seen a few severe cases of structural damage to buildings in the Netherlands. A recent case was the shopping mall ‘t Loon in Heerlen. It would be beneficial if structural failures could be avoided, or at least be predicted. New satellite technology, Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), proves that it is possible...
