Du, Ximing (author)At present, many studies have begun to focus on evaluating urban accessibility and livability, which can be a series of great guidance for future urban planning considering residents’ personal perceptions of various living aspects. It can be observed from the existing literature that urban accessibility has a mature evaluation system,...student report 2023

Philippo, Thijs (author)Solar and wind will displace fossil fuels as the main source of energy in a net-zero world. However, renewable energy sources provide intermittent power, hence an energy carrier that enables the balancing of demand and supply is needed. Here green hydrogen comes in place. <br/>In addition, the demand for green hydrogen is expected to rise in the...master thesis 2023

Baldew, Menouschka (author)On a general level, the Dutch government wants to have a fully circular economy by 2050 by reducing the use of primary materials and carbon dioxide emissions. As the consideration and integration of concepts such as sustainability and circular economy are becoming increasingly popular in the civil engineering sector, it might be time to re...master thesis 2023

de Pater, I.I. (author), Mitici, M.A. (author)Most Remaining Useful Life (RUL) prognostics are obtained using supervised learning models trained with many labelled data samples (i.e., the true RUL is known). In aviation, however, aircraft systems are often preventively replaced before failure. There are thus very few labelled data samples available. We therefore propose a Long Short-Term...journal article 2023

Moradi, M. (author), Broer, Agnes A.R. (author), Chiachío, Juan (author), Benedictus, R. (author), Loutas, Theodoros H. (author), Zarouchas, D. (author)A health indicator (HI) is a valuable index demonstrating the health level of an engineering system or structure, which is a direct intermediate connection between raw signals collected by structural health monitoring (SHM) methods and prognostic models for remaining useful life estimation. An appropriate HI should conform to prognostic...journal article 2023

Galanopoulos, Georgios (author), Eleftheroglou, N. (author), Milanoski, Dimitrios (author), Broer, Agnes A.R. (author), Zarouchas, D. (author), Loutas, Theodoros (author)We present a generic methodology for developing a Health Indicator out of strain-based Structural Health Monitoring data suitable for implementation in prognostic tasks. For this purpose, an in-house test campaign is launched. Single-stringered composite panels are subjected to compression-compression fatigue with the strains being monitored...journal article 2023

Hamida, A.B. (author), Zhang, D. (author), Ortiz, Marco A. (author), Bluyssen, P.M. (author)Sounds (e.g., human activity, nature, building systems) are one of the indoor environmental stimuli that may have positive and/or negative effects on students’ well-being and performance in educational buildings. Students in educational buildings have individual acoustical preferences and needs as portrayed by occupant-related indicators, for...journal article 2023

Huang, R. (author), Xie, Fangyun (author), Fu, Xinyue (author), Liu, Wenli (author)Neighborhood renewal is now an important approach to sustainable urban development in China. However, neighborhood renewal projects are often beset with social problems such as noncooperation from residents, which can be attributed to diverse interests and complex relationships among residents. However, there is little research on resident...journal article 2023

Nedeljković, Marija (author), Tošić, Nikola (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Fennis, Sonja (author)Demand for high quality recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) to offset the use of primary materials is significantly rising due to circular economy goals and high-value reuse of concrete. The quality of RCA significantly affects their availability for new concrete production due to the variability of parent concrete streams. The optimization of...journal article 2023

Thomas, Robert V. (author), Nair, Deepa G. (author), Enserink, B. (author)Growing global demand for sustainable development places immense pressure on the construction industry to select and promote sustainable construction practices. The selection of sustainable construction practices is a challenging task, as there are numerous variables and uncertainties involved in the concept of sustainability and a consistent...journal article 2023

Cardinali, M. (author), Beenackers, Mariëlle A. (author), van Timmeren, A. (author), Pottgiesser, U. (author)In the interdisciplinary field of green space health research, there is a demand to reduce the effort to assess green space, especially for non-spatial disciplines. To address this issue, we developed AID-PRIGSHARE, an open-source script that automates over 400 QGIS processes to substantially reduces the time-intensive task of generating...journal article 2023

van Rhijn, Bart (author)Climate change is changing the world. Where previously efficient use of materials was mainly applied to realize cost savings, this can also help to reduce the footprint of a construction. There is a rather direct and obvious relationship between the amount of material required in a construction and its environmental impact. Of course, the...master thesis 2022

Maurer, Patrick (author)The current Tuscan agri-food system is unsustainable. The so-called conventional farming practices are still the most commonly used on both global and local scale. These practices include activities such as intensive farming and the use of chemical phytosanitary products that cause the progressive deployment and contamination of local natural...master thesis 2022

Zuidgeest, Sven (author)The current global fleet is still dependent on conventional fuels as energy source to transport goods to various places in the world. These conventional fuels, such as MGO or HFO, emit large amounts of greenhouse gasses and other pollutant emissions. Regulation concerning these emissions becomes stricter every day, therefore institutions and...master thesis 2022

Hu, Lidha (author)We find ourselves at a crossroads; without immediate and deep emissions reductions, limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius will be impossible. For the Netherlands to achieve its climate targets, Dutch municipalities have been delegated the crucial task of the heat transition. Prior research reveals that the Dutch energy transition and...master thesis 2022

Zhang, F. (author)Existing concrete bridges require efficient assessment due to increasing traffic load and degrading material. For reinforced concrete structures without shear reinforcement, a typical failure mode is shear, which often means a total loss of structural capacity and does not have an obvious warning beforehand. To indicate the shear failure before...doctoral thesis 2022
