Zhang, Hongzhi (author), Yuan, Huaqiang (author), Ge, Zhi (author), Wu, Jiajie (author), Fang, Cheng (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Šavija, B. (author)Clay brick is one of the major components of demolition waste, which is generally landfilled. Effective and new uses of recycled clay brick may provide sustainability benefits in terms of landfill reduction. Therefore, this research aims at applying Recycled fine clay brick aggregates (RFCBA) with sizes from 0.075 mm–4.75 mm to prepare Self...journal article 2021

Kebriaei, Hamed (author), Sadati-Savadkoohi, S. Jafar (author), Shokri, Mohammad (author), Grammatico, S. (author)In this article, we extend the theory of deterministic mean-field/aggregative games to multipopulation games. We consider a set of populations, each managed by a population coordinator (PC), of selfish agents playing a global noncooperative game, whose cost functions are affected by an aggregate term across all agents from all populations. In...journal article 2021

Nedeljković, Marija (author), Visser, Jeanette (author), Šavija, B. (author), Valcke, Siska (author), Schlangen, E. (author)This paper discusses the state-of-the-art of the fine recycled concrete aggregates (fRCA), focusing on their physical and chemical properties, engineering properties and durability of concretes with fRCA. Based on the systematic review of the published literature, it is impossible to deduce without any further research the guidelines and...review 2021

Del Pia, Alberto (author), Gijswijt, D.C. (author), Linderoth, Jeff (author), Zhu, Haoran (author)An integer packing set is a set of non-negative integer vectors with the property that, if a vector x is in the set, then every non-negative integer vector y with y≤x is in the set as well. The main result of this paper is that integer packing sets, ordered by inclusion, form a well-quasi-ordering. This result allows us to answer a recently...journal article 2021

Okur, Ö. (author), Heijnen, P.W. (author), Lukszo, Z. (author)Flexibility coming from consumers in residential and service sectors has received significant attention to deal with uncertainty and variability of renewable energy sources. Since these consumers are too small individually to participate in the electricity markets, their assets can be pooled by an aggregator. The aggregator can implement...review 2021

(author)This study focuses on formulating the most sustainable concrete by incorporating recycled concrete aggregates and other products retrieved from construction and demolition (C&D) activities. Both recycled coarse aggregates (RCA) and recycled fine aggregates (RFA) are firstly used to fully replace the natural coarse and fine aggregates in...journal article 2021

(author), Wei, Jiangxiong (author), Yu, Qijun (author)Non-uniform stresses, strains and microcracking of the concretes with three coarse aggregate sizes (5–10 mm, 10–16 mm, 16–20 mm) dried under 40% relative humidity (RH) for 60 days were quantified using digital image correlation and lattice fracture modelling. The influencing mechanism of coarse aggregate size on the drying-induced...journal article 2021

Qiu, Xiujiao (author), Chen, J. (author), Deprez, Maxim (author), Cnudde, Veerle (author), Ye, G. (author), De Schutter, Geert (author)The microstructure of alkali-reactive aggregates, especially the spatial distribution of the pore and reactive silica phase, plays a significant role in the process of the alkali silica reaction (ASR) in concrete, as it determines not only the reaction front of ASR but also the localization of the produced expansive product from where the...journal article 2021

Dekker, Florine W. (author), Erkin, Z. (author)Privacy-preserving data aggregation protocols have been researched widely, but usually cannot guarantee correctness of the aggregate if users are malicious. These protocols can be extended with zero-knowledge proofs and commitments to work in the malicious model, but this incurs a significant computational cost on the end users, making adoption...conference paper 2021

Tindemans, Simon H. (author), Strbac, Goran (author)Thermostatically controlled loads such as refrigerators are exceptionally suitable as a flexible demand resource. This article derives a decentralized load control algorithm for refrigerators. It is adapted from an existing continuous time control approach, with the aim to achieve low computational complexity and an ability to handle discrete...journal article 2021

Pan, L.Y. (author)Porous asphalt resides on most top layers of Dutch roads. Scheduling maintenance for these roads is generally dependent on several factors, but ravelling, the loss of aggregates in the top layers, is the main reason for maintenance on Dutch roads. With the recent framework of the DOS-LCMS scheme generating values for aggregate loss in...master thesis 2020

Yazan, Ahmet (author)One of the many challenges in infrastructure management lies in managing built assets. Managing means repairing, rehabilitating and replacing assets to ensure they are able to safely fulfill their functions. To manage infrastructure assets, detailed information about the condition of all components of the asset is required to make substantiated...master thesis 2020

Tyuryukanov, I. (author)The vast size of a modern interconnected power grid precludes controlling and operating it as a single object. Subdividing a power grid into a number of internally coherent areas allows to cope with its inherent complexity and to enable more efficient control structures.

De Persis, Claudio (author), Grammatico, S. (author)We consider continuous-time equilibrium seeking in a class of aggregative games with strongly convex cost functions and affine coupling constraints. We propose simple, semi-decentralized integral dynamics and prove their global asymptotic convergence to a variational generalized aggregative or Nash equilibrium. The proof is based on Lyapunov...journal article 2020
