This study aims to identify and understand the annual scale sediment transport patterns in a fully engineered dune-dune slack system that was created from seabed sediments for grey dune and moist dune slack habitat creation at the Delfland coast (the Netherlands). The annual morphological development was analysed using LiDAR elevation data....

Strain hardening geopolymer composites (SHGC) as a tailored group of fibre reinforced geopolymer composites are featured by large tensile strain capacity with multiple micro-cracks. This paper experimentally investigates the strain hardening behaviour of SHGC in terms of flexural stress-deflection response, failure mode and cracking, flexural...

Due to hilly terrain and frequent heavy rainstorms, debris flow is one of the most common and catastrophic hazards in Hong Kong. To mitigate the debris flow risk, prediction of the magnitude and consequence of debris flow is essential. The objective of this paper is to simulate debris flow hazards in a study area in Hong Kong. Assessment of the...

The first applications of nonprobabilistic interval analysis in geotechnical engineering have been recently explored. In fact, the solution of practical problems in this field often requires judgement based on limited data and interval analysis has become a research area formally motivated by input information characterised by imprecision....

The treatment of imprecision attracted continuous interest since the origin of probability as the science of uncertainty. As a matter of fact, probability has been developed to deal with uncertainty and the first argument supporting precise rather than imprecise probability counts on the nature of ordinary measurements. Starting from only a few...

The paper presents the findings of a systematic literature review of approximately 200 scientific sources. It is designed with the aim to identify the current benefits and factors of high performance in Architecture, Engineering, Construction (AEC) since the introduction of Building Information Modelling (BIM). We formed and confirmed two main...

Concrete cracking is inevitable, and can be the result of one or a combination of factors such as dry shrinkage, thermal contraction, fatigue, and embedded steel corrosion. The presence of cracks leads to further deterioration, service life reduction of concrete infrastructure, and frequent maintenance and repairs. These challenges can be...

Simple methodorogy to evaluate availability of self-healing agent have been established from the investigation on the relationship between oxidation behavior of self-healing agent and self-healing phenomena. The consistency of the established methodology was discussed by comparison in the lower bound of the available temperature range of mullite...

The opening and globalisation of the market presents additional information needs. In the closed market, planning information gave a clear enough picture of the civil engineering situation. The same source of information is still used when looking at the situation in the open market. Companies and central government have often viewed the...

The challenges of sustainable engineering and design are complex and so are the challenges of teaching sustainability to higher education students. This paper deals with teaching environmental sustainability, with a specific focus on the sustainability of buildings. The paper addresses specifically the higher professional and academic education....

Consensus in Dutch society is that the existing coastal defence regime is not sustainable. Adaptation is not only a technical challenge, but affects elements like ecology, cultural heritage, recreation, urban development, making the issue complex both from a political and from a scientific point of view. And innovations must cope with the actual...

With solid theoretical support from industrial ecology, an increasing number of industrial ecosystems (including eco-industrial parks and industrial symbiosis) have been created all over the world. There is no doubt that the Kalundborg symbiosis, which has steadily operates for thirty years, is our successful exemplar, although some problems...

Diesel engine combustion chamber which reduces exhaust emission has been designed using CFD analysis and optimization techniques. In order to save computational time for design, the Kriging model, one of the response surface models, is adopted here. For the robust exploration, both the estimated function value of the model and its uncertainty...

During the design of development concepts for the exploitation of oil and gas reservoirs, frequent use is made of numerical simulation of the flow of multi-phase fluids through porous rock. Recently, increased attention has been paid to systematic optimization of well positions and operating parameters (rates, pressures) over the life of the...

Starters are mechanisms that are used for generating the working fluid for initial rotation of LPE (Liquid Propellant Engines) turbopumps. The function of the start system is preparation of initial power for starting a turbine. This turbine is attached to the fuel and oxidizer pumps. When these pumps work in a suitable case, the required power...
