Wu, W. (author), Veljkovic, M. (author), Kolstein, M.H. (author), Maljaars, Johan (author), Pijpers, Richard (author)Fatigue cracks in the stiffener-to-deck plate connections of orthotropic bridge decks, initiating from the weld toe or root and propagating into the stiffener or weld throat, are experimentally and numerically studied. A statistical analysis of the structural stress is carried out using the experimental data. Automatic welded specimens show a...journal article 2024

Weijer, Menno (author)Numerous structural failure incidents have occurred in the past years. It was found that current methods, such as NEN 2767, fall short in guaranteeing the structural safety of existing buildings. Although structural failure incidents infrequently result in casualties, there are also social and economic consequences that impact both building user...master thesis 2023

Zikidou, Zoi (author)Climate change is adding more and more pressure to the water systems. The area which is protected by the storm surge barrier of Ramspol have high probability of flooding for climate projections in 2050 and 2100. <br/>Nowadays, the development of the technology is providing with numerous tools and analytical models for the engineers. However, in...master thesis 2023

Arntz, Emma (author)Autonomous delivery robots are a promising alternative for last-mile delivery. To realise successful implementation of delivery robots in the public space, it is important to study the interaction between robot and environment. The traffic environment includes the physical infrastructure, traffic conditions and the people using the environment....master thesis 2022

Rubio Bizcaino, Andrzej (author)This paper aims to define the broad concept of fairness and investigate how it can be measured, especially considering fairness in automated negotiations. The report relies on the work on fairness issues that have been derived from the research of C. Albin [1]. Firstly, the paper elaborates on different fairness metrics from the literature...bachelor thesis 2022

Tsalidis, G.A. (author)Policymakers need to know where the social externalities of products occur in order to act at the macro level. The Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) method can contribute to the assessment of the social externalities of products; a necessary method supporting the European Union while they transitioning to a circular economy. This study...journal article 2022

Dangal, S. (author), Faludi, Jeremy (author), Balkenende, R. (author)The Circular Economy Action Plan adopted by the European Commission aims to keep value in products as long as possible through developing product-specific requirements for durability and repairability. In this context, various scoring systems have been developed for scoring product repairability. This study assessed the objectivity and...journal article 2022

(author)As part of water resources management policy, water resources projects undertake environmental flow assessments (EFA) to determine how much water should be maintained or released to the downstream part of rivers to protect the health of aquatic and riparian ecosystems and societal wellbeing. In Ethiopia, EFA is being undertaken mostly in...review 2022

Valcalda, A. (author), de Koningh, D. (author), Kana, A.A. (author)The introduction of the ‘Safe Return to Port’ (SRtP) regulations strongly impacted the design of passenger ships. To meet the functional requirements of these regulations, the systems on board reached an extreme level of complexity in terms of redundancy and segregation, considerably increasing the difficulties to assess the compliance of the...journal article 2022

Kiziridis, Ioannis (author)The phrase Triple Bottom Line (TBL) was first coined in 1994 in order to introduce social and environmental considerations in the traditional finance-centric measurement system of business performance. As a tool to measure sustainability performance, the three bottom lines refer to the environmental, social and economic aspects of sustainability...master thesis 2021

Lubelli, B. (author)The RILEM Technical Committee 271-ASC was set up in 2016 with the aim of<br/>developing an improved procedure for the assessment of the durability of porous building materials, such as brick and natural stone, against salt crystallization, accelerating the deterioration process without significantly altering its mechanism.<br/>The test procedure...conference paper 2021

Heesbeen, C. (author), Zabek, M. (author), Hildebrand, L. (author)Circularity potential in the construction sector, a quality that quantifies the contribution to carbon and resource neutrality, is to be standardised in Europe yet. In order to do so, a harmonised definition and method of calculation that offers transparency is crucial. Simplicity in construction methods, a low-tech approach, and a limited...conference paper 2021

van Stijn, A. (author), Malabi Eberhardt, L. C. (author), Wouterszoon Jansen, B. (author), Meijer, A. (author)The transition towards a Circular Economy (CE) in the built environment is vital to reduce resource consumption, emissions and waste generation. To support the development of circular building components, assessment metrics are needed. Previous work identified Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as an important method to analyse the environmental...journal article 2021

de Groot, Suzanne (author)Rivers provide many of our day-to-day needs. They allow, for instance, the production of drinking water and the movement of goods via inland waterways. However, river systems experience disturbances, such as droughts and pollution plumes. These disturbances can impair the functioning of river systems and their ability to provide the desired...master thesis 2020

Boertje, Jean-Paul (author)A transition towards a circular economy is proposed by initiators like the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and architect Thomas Rau, in order to preserve and enhance natural capital, optimise resource yields, and minimise system risks. A circular economy seeks to ultimately decouple global economic development from the consumption of non-renewable...master thesis 2020

Kumar, Kavisha (author), Ledoux, H. (author), Schmidt, Richard (author), Verheij, Theo (author), Stoter, J.E. (author)This paper presents our implementation of a harmonized data model for noise simulations in the European Union (EU). Different noise assessment methods are used by different EU member states (MS) for estimating noise at local, regional, and national scales. These methods, along with the input data extracted from the national registers and...journal article 2020

van Schaik, Cris (author)This research investigated how traditional foundations of buildings can become circular and thus contribute to a circular economy. The current linear take-make-dispose economy results in waste, exhaustion of finite natural resources and environmental degradation. A circular economy is one way to cope with these trends. This type of economy is...master thesis 2019

Tofik, Halsho (author)Offshore wind turbines (OWTs), together with their support structures, are designed for an operational period of 20 years. The first generation of these offshore wind turbines has already reached or is approaching their designed lifetime of 20 years. Depending on the legislation and the governmental subsidies, a decision needs to be made about...master thesis 2019
