Piekema, Annelotte (author)Delayed maintenance is a major issue in Europe, including the Netherlands. The city of Amsterdam recently started a large-scale maintenance project to renew (renovate or replace) many bridges: an issue that other cities will have to face soon. Decision-making for bridge programming (deciding which bridges should be renewed simultaneously using...master thesis 2023

QIU, Haodong (author)Hybrid structures consisting of FRP(fiber reinforce polymer) composite decks<br/>connected to a steel girder superstructure are gaining more attention by combining the stiffness of steel members with good fatigue endurance and high strength to weight ratio of FRP. However, when composite material FRP is exposed to elevated temperature,...master thesis 2023

Li, Wanda (author), Xu, Zhiwei (author), Sun, Yi (author), Gong, Qingyuan (author), Chen, Y. (author), Ding, Aaron Yi (author), Wang, Xin (author), Hui, Pan (author)Outstanding users (OUs) denote the influential, 'core' or 'bridge' users in online social networks. How to accurately detect and rank them is an important problem for third-party online service providers and researchers. Conventional efforts, ranging from early graph-based algorithms to recent machine learning-based approaches, typically rely on...journal article 2023

Yao, Liaojun (author), Liu, J. (author), Lyu, Zhangming (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Hao, Cui (author), Ren, Chuanxi (author), Guo, Licheng (author)Carbon-fibre reinforced composites are susceptible to delamination. Fibre bridging is an important shielding mechanism frequently observed in delamination. The presence of these bridging fibres can significantly increase interlaminar resistance, making it critical to represent this phenomenon for delamination characterization in composite...journal article 2023

Benschop, Michiel (author)Due to increasingly efficient engineering of the last decades, the design process for civil structures is heading in the direction of optimal solutions. Among other things, the reduction in self-weight enhances the susceptibility to dynamic loads. As the process for the determination of realistic modal parameters from a digital model often...master thesis 2022

Kariouh, Anass (author)Concrete is the most used building material in the world. Its success can be linked back to its mouldability, durability and low cost. Unfortunately, current conventional concrete pedestrian bridge designs do not benefit from these key features and still require bulky shaped cross-sections, whereby part of the concrete does not contribute to the...student report 2022

Wang, Shumeng (author)This thesis addresses a novel configuration of hot-swappable Multi-Active-Bridge (MAB) DC/DC converter in renewable-energy-based systems. As an extension of the Dual-Active-Bridge (DAB) converter, the MAB converter provides a multiport DC/DC converter solution with bidirectional power flow, simple phase shift control and galvanic isolation, but...master thesis 2022

Jilderda, Diederik (author)In a constantly evolving urban environment, it is important that we design structures with future adaptability in mind. Bridges for example can have very long life spans, but within their life span their use might change or even become obsolete. Disposing of the bridge, which can still be in perfectly good shape, would be a terrible waste of...master thesis 2022

Loo, JUN WEN (author)Buiksloterham, situated on the northern banks of the IJ river, is undergoing massive urban redevelopment as it transits from an industrial town to a mix-use development. However the lack of connectivity within the neighbourhood has become an ever more prominent problem for its growing residents and workers. Gemeente Amsterdam has proposed the...master thesis 2022

Slingerland, Kylian (author)For the renovation of the Suurhoff bridge, Arup decided to design and propose a new, innovative strengthening scheme, which improves the fatigue performance of the bridge deck and extends the design life of the bridge by at least 15 years. In this strengthening scheme, a steel plate is placed on top of the existing deck plate with a layer of...master thesis 2022

van Looveren, Hugo (author)Timber usage in construction works has increased over the past years due to its better environmental performance. Applying timber elements instead of steel or concrete decreases the emissions impact of the built environment. Architect firm ZJA and Iv-consult are interested in investigating a timber railway bridge as part of the Norwegian...master thesis 2022

Kooijman, Rick (author)The Circular Arch Bridge is a pedestrian bridge consisting out of four different recycled materials: cast glass, ceramic, circument and geopolymer concrete. Due to an increasing amount of vibration problems in modern pedestrian bridges they should not only be designed for static loads, but dynamic loads have to be considered as well. There are...master thesis 2022

Fu, Danny (author)In recent years, the area of structural engineering has found new interesting prospects in the theory of waves. The acoustoelastic properties of materials are utilized in a new promising structural health monitoring (SHM) technique. The propagation of ultrasonic waves through stressed elements gives the ability to find invaluable information on...master thesis 2022

Grubor, Miloš (author)This thesis describes the design of a digital backend for a resistor-based temperature sensor realized in a 180nm CMOS process. The sensor’s analog frontend outputs a bitstream at 500kHz, which is then decimated and linearized with the help of 3 different polynomials, whose coefficients are obtained after a calibration process. A polynomial...master thesis 2022
