Simader, Thomas (author)Ground penetrating radar (GPR) data has proven to be a powerful tool for non-invasively estimating the electrical properties of the shallow subsurface. Petrophysical relationships allow them to be converted into hydrological parameters such as soil water content (SWC) and porosity. In the presence of thin layers, complex wave phenomena can occur...master thesis 2023

Kisoensingh, Arvind (author)Flexural shear failure is a brittle failure mode that can occur in reinforced concrete (RC) beams without stirrups due to the combination of flexural and shear stresses. The failure mode begins with vertical flexural cracks at the bottom of the RC beam central span area due to flexural tensile stresses, followed by diagonal cracks. During...master thesis 2023

Ranjan, R. (author)With the advent of Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques, the design principle of `form follows function' no longer remains a utopian proposition. The unprecedented design freedom offered by AM is making it possible to conceptualize highly performant designs by efficiently leveraging geometrical complexity. The increase in design freedom...doctoral thesis 2023

Joshi, Amey (author)The light and frequent earthquakes in the north of the Netherlands, particularly in the province of Groningen, have recently exposed the unreinforced masonry structures to seismic activities. Since these structures do not adhere to seismic regulations, they are considered vulnerable to seismicity. The ultimate state capacity of the structures is...master thesis 2023

Kavoura, Dr. Florentia (author), Zhang, Y. (author), Veljkovic, M. (author)The building sector is actively researching and reviewing technical solutions for de-construction, driven by the increasing importance of sustainability requirements, as outlined in the EU Commission's ‘Green Deal,‘ which aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Two key research areas in efficient structural design strategies...conference paper 2023

Des, M. (author), Gómez-Gesteira, J.L. (author), de Castro, M. (author), Iglesias, D. (author), Sousa, M.C. (author), El Serafy, G.Y.H. (author), Gomez-Gesteira, M. (author)Magallana gigas is a naturalized species on the north coast of Galicia (Rías Altas, Northwest Iberian Peninsula), where it was unintentionally introduced. In recent decades, a greater abundance of M. gigas has been observed on the Galician coast, expanding towards the south, reaching the Artabro Gulf (Rías Centrales, NW Galician coast), probably...journal article 2022

Slagmoolen, Daan (author)Ongoing sea level rise combined with significant levels of land subsidence cause the everlasting need for reinforcements of the current coastal protection measures to ensure a certain level of coastal safety. Developing countries in the Asian regions tend to suffer from even more severe levels of land subsidence and often lack the financial...master thesis 2021

Verkaik, J. (author), Hughes, J.D. (author), van Walsum, P.E.V. (author), Oude Essink, G. H. P. (author), Lin, H.X. (author), Bierkens, M.F.P. (author)Worldwide, billions of people rely on fresh groundwater reserves for their domestic, agricultural and industrial water use. Extreme droughts and excessive groundwater pumping put pressure on water authorities in maintaining sustainable water usage. High-resolution integrated models are valuable assets in supporting them. The Netherlands...journal article 2021

Paknahad, A. (author), Goudarzi, M. (author), Kucko, Nathan W. (author), Leeuwenburgh, Sander C.G. (author), Sluys, Lambertus J. (author)Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) have been widely used during the past decades as biocompatible bone substitution in maxillofacial, oral and orthopedic surgery. CPCs are injectable and are chemically resemblant to the mineral phase of native bone. Nevertheless, their low fracture toughness and high brittleness reduce their clinical...journal article 2021

Pasman, Rutger (author)Ships in rivers create waves and these can have a negative impact on fish habitats along the river banks. A modelling study is carried out to investigate how these ship-induced waves can be damped in groyne fields by making structural modifications to the groynes. For this purpose, different types of openings (notches) are applied to the groynes...master thesis 2020

de Vet, P.L.M. (author)Intertidal flats — regions of estuaries that emerge every tide from the water — form unique ecosystems. Benthic communities living in the bed are a valuable food source for wading birds. Salt marshes present on these flats further enhance the biodiversity. Through the damping of waves, intertidal flats also contribute to the safety of the...doctoral thesis 2020

Jonker, Ruben (author)In this research OpenFOAM is used to model and determine the complex hydrodynamic behaviour of a Homogeneous low-crested structure (HLCS) consisting of cubipod artificial concrete elements. The validated model is used to gain insight in the design sensitivities of a two dimensional cross sectional layout to reduce sea wall overtopping. HLCS and...master thesis 2020

Goveas, Akhilesh (author)The rapid growth in world population and increasing demands have led to the lack of fresh water, taking a toll on several of earths reserves, mainly the fresh water supply reserves. Water stress deters economic growth, leads to conflicts and has a direct impact on the health of humans. Studies show the trends in the<br/>increase of water...master thesis 2020

van Calcar, Caroline (author)The Antarctic ice sheet is a complex system highly influenced by global and local processes and characteristics including a varying bedrock elevation and structure of the solid Earth and a changing climate. Sea level rise has a high impact on society and the improvement of forecasts are vital to generate both adaptation and mitigation strategies...master thesis 2020

Cordier, Florian (author), Tassi, Pablo (author), Claude, Nicolas (author), Crosato, A. (author), Rodrigues, Stéphane (author), Pham Van Bang, Damien (author)Bars are large sediment deposits alternating with deeper areas that arise from alluvial river bed instability and forcing. The present study aimed at investigating the combined influence of flow and longitudinal width variations on the co-evolution between bar pattern and sediment sorting in a sandy-gravel river reach. To this goal, a fully...journal article 2020

Visser, P.W. (author), Kooi, Henk (author), Bense, Victor (author), Boerma, Emiel (author)Subsurface temperatures are substantially higher in urban areas than in surrounding rural environments; the result is a subsurface urban heat island (SUHI). SUHIs and their drivers have received attention in studies world-wide. In this study, a well-constrained data set of subsurface temperatures from Amsterdam, The Netherlands, is presented....journal article 2020

Paknahad, A. (author), Kucko, Nathan W. (author), Leeuwenburgh, Sander C.G. (author), Sluys, Lambertus J. (author)Since their discovery in the 1980s, injectable self-setting calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are frequently used in orthopedic, oral and maxillofacial surgery due to their chemical resemblance to the mineral phase of native bone. However, these cements are very brittle, which complicates their application in load-bearing anatomical sites....journal article 2020

Kanawade, Kunal (author)In nuclear industry applications, from design and safety aspects, it is important to predict the flow and heat transfer. The passive cooling systems, one of the robust cooling systems in the nuclear design are based on natural convections. In the RANS approach, non-linear unknown heat flux term has to be closed by appropriate model for accurate...master thesis 2019
