Jutte, M.A. (author)In this report fixed cellular radio networks for the rural areas is examined. It is shown that providing telecommunications to these areas by using this technique is very cost effective, flexible and fast to install compared to other rural telecommunications solutions. As an example, the theoretically designed system is implemented in a rural...master thesis 1993

Bloemsma, M. (author)The design and re-assessment of fixed offshore structures for operation in the harsh conditions of the North Sea is largely determined by extreme environmental loading. The ability to predict accurately the extreme storm load remains an important factor in the continued safe and economic exploitation of the hydrocarbon reserves in this area. The...master thesis 1994

Canimoglu, E. (author)In this report the different possibilities of FM data broadcasting and the implementation of one of these possibilities are investigated. In order to do this, we first examined three different methods for data broadcasting using an FM channel. Afterwards we discuss which way of transmitting mono-directional data to mobile receivers has the best...master thesis 1994

Plate, S. (author)Breakwaters differ from each other by their functions or their type. The most important function of breakwaters is to allow the ships to be loaded and unloaded in calm water conditions and to provide dock or quay facilities. Several types of breakwaters can be distinguished, depending on their operation and design. The most common breakwater...master thesis 1995

Nederstigt, N.J. (author)As a result of a number of causes, more and more human activities are shifting to offshore locations, resulting in a fast growing number of offshore structures. Not only the number of (planned) offshore structures increases, but also the diversity of the designs is growing. Nowadays these structures are often situated in deeper water. It is...master thesis 1996

Haile, A. (author)De steeds groter wordende diepgang van zeeschepen vereist dat golfbrekers op grotere dieptes aangelegd moeten worden. De kosten van stortsteen golfbrekers op grote dieptes zijn aanzienlijk hoger dan op kleine dieptes. Verticale golfbrekers lijken een betere alternatief te zijn met betrekking tot de totale kosten prestatie, standaardisatie,...master thesis 1996

Holt, D. (author)In many areas of electrical engineering, magnetic components like transformers and inductors are necessary parts of an electrical circuit. Designing such a component means finding a suitable combination of a ferrite core and a copper wire, while a great variety of requirements have to be satisfied. However, finding the optimal combination is...master thesis 1996

De Jong, E. (author)Outfalls are built for the purpose ofdischarging sewage, storm runoff or cooling water into the sea. During the installation, outfalls are exposed to relatively large hydrodynamic forces compared to their own weight in case of adverse weather or high currents. To resist these forces, a heavy concrete weight coating has to be applied. With...master thesis 1998

Repko, A. (author)For the probability-based design and assesment of marine structures interacting with sea waves, a reliable knowledge of the long-term wave climate is required. Wave climate data are commonly presented in the form of histograms of spectral wave parameters. The severity of a sea state is usually expressed in terms of significant wave height H, and...master thesis 1998

Mann, S. (author)It is foreseen that the future expansion of the Port of Rotterdam will face the problem of lack of space. A typical Dutch solution to create the necessary area for harbour and industrial terrain, is reclamation of land from the sea. This can be achieved by expanding Maasvlakte I with Maasvlakte 2. The exact amount of required terrain is subject...master thesis 1999

Van den Bosch, R.D. (author)Economic outlook and capacity of the port The port of Buenos Aires has known a large growth of container throughputs in the last few years: in 1991 233,000 TEU were handled, in 1995638,000 and in 1998 over 1.1 million TEU were handled by the container terminals in Puerto Nuevo and Dock Sud. The end of this growth is not expected soon and various...master thesis 2000
