Ensink, S.W.H. (author)About 70 prestressed concrete T-beam bridges, constructed in the Netherlands between 1953–1977, are still in use today with many located in the main highway network. This type of bridge consists of prefabricated and prestressed T-shaped beams, with an integrated deck slab, cross-beams and transverse prestressing. Even if these bridges are well...doctoral thesis 2024

Zhang, X. (author), Aivaloglou, E.A. (author), Specht, M.M. (author)Computational Thinking (CT) is considered a core 21st century digital skill. The aspect of assessment is crucial and knowing what, who, when, how, and where to assess is important for assessment design. In this study, we conducted an umbrella review to gain insights regarding CT assessment in higher education. In total, we analyzed 11 reviews...review 2024

van Opstal, Doris (author)Interest in driving simulators has risen due to new technologies that better resemble real-world driving and the cost reduction of driving simulator development. In recent years, safety researchers commonly use driving simulators to examine complex driving behaviors in a controlled and safe environment. However, the question remains whether or...master thesis 2023

Miletić, Andrea (author), Kuveždić Divjak, Ana (author), Welle Donker, F.M. (author)Open data portals are web services that serve as a central access point for all government-published open data and can exist at local, regional, national, and international levels. They are an important element of most open data initiatives that have enabled a large amount of government data to be widely available. However, data quantity and...journal article 2023

Hobeika, N. (author), Garcia Sanchez, C. (author), Bluyssen, P.M. (author)The corona pandemic underlined a lack of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and<br/>ventilation. Consequently, to limit the spread of the virus, researchers explored several indicators that, through different approaches, assess IAQ and ventilation performance in indoor spaces. This paper gives an overview of those indicators and assessment methods used to...abstract 2023

van den Heuvel, L. (author), Bohm, N.L. (author)It is common in architecture education to quantify the quality of assignments into grades, often done by one or two teachers using rubrics. However, this can have several downsides. It suggests an objective preciseness that is debatable for the creative assignments in the field of architecture, and the assessment is dependent on the judgement of...conference paper 2023

van Nunen, K.L.L. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Ponnet, Koen (author)An exponential amount of academic research has been dedicated to the safety culture concept, but still, no consensus has been reached on its definition and content. In general, safety culture research lacks an interdisciplinary approach. Furthermore, although the concept of safety culture is characterised by complexity and multifacetedness, the...journal article 2022

Kević, Karlo (author), Miletić, Andrea (author), Kuveždić Divjak, Ana (author), Welle Donker, F.M. (author)Over the last decade, open data has become a hot topic that researchers and governments all over the world are eager to explore. The term first appeared in a 1995 document from an American scientific agency (Chignard, 2013), but its popularity increased when the U.S. president, Barrack Obama, signed the 2009 Memorandum on Transparency and Open...abstract 2022

Kersten, W.C. (author), Diehl, J.C. (author), van Engelen, J.M.L. (author)It seems relevant for designers who are dealing with complex societal issues to be able to assess whether they appreciate the complexity of the design task sufficiently before the stages of the design and production process are reached, as these require informed decisions before committing substantial resources. We put forward that the ...journal article 2022

Driessen, Mark (author)Current service and installation activities to offshore wind turbines (OWTs) are mainly carried out by jack-up vessels. These vessels are less susceptive to disturbances caused by sea waves when they lift their hull from the water level by jacking down multiple legs to the seabed. An alternative is a crane mounted on a floating vessel, which has...master thesis 2021

Verhage, Fabian (author)The Netherlands has a severe shortage of care workers. The shortage is expected to increase in the coming years. Care-robots could provide a solution, by taking work out of the hands of the care workers. The potential utility of the care-robot is dependent on the functionality of the gripper. The goal of this study was to design and develop a...master thesis 2021

van Goeverden, C.D. (author)Travel speed is an intrinsic feature of transport, and enlarging the speed is considered as beneficial. The benefit of a speed increase is generally assessed as the value of the saved travel time. However, this approach conflicts with the observation that time spent on travelling is rather constant and might not be affected by speed changes. The...conference paper 2021

Harrewijn, T.L. (author), Vergoossen, R.P.H. (author), Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author)Most bridges in the Dutch infrastructure are built before 1985 and have experienced increasing traffic intensities and loads. On the other hand, the structural (design) codes have changed over the years. A frequently faced problem in practice is that the original design calculations and technical drawings of a large percentage of the existing...conference paper 2020
