Groen, Marsha (author)
Urbanisation is increasing rapidly around the world, bringing with it challenges such as energy consumption, resource depletion and social inequality. The concept of the compact city, which promotes denser settlement patterns for sustainability, has emerged as a response. However, challenges remain in the Dutch context, including land scarcity...

This study aimed to evaluate the field scale potential of Microbially Induced Desaturation (MID) to improve the compactibility of silty sands. Conventional soil compaction techniques for saturated silty sands often require either high compaction effort or even fail to reach aspired relative densities. This thesis is a follow-up study based on...

The current generation of power management integrated circuits require fully integrated, low cost and low power solutions for voltage regulation. As final blocks in the internal power supply chain, excellent performance linear voltage regulators are required, especially in terms of dynamic response and stability. Since many voltage regulators...

Asphalt concrete is the most used material in road construction. Analysing the behaviour and properties of this material is vital for modern day society. Currently, this is mostly done in labs using actual asphalt mixtures. However, this is a very expensive and time consuming process. An upcoming alternative approach is the use of computational...

In the field of quantum information theory, it is well-known that the purely quantum phenomenon called quantum entanglement can boost the capacity of a quantum channel, which is called the superadditivity of the capacity. Shor showed in his breakthrough paper on the equivalence of additivity conjectures that this superadditivity is equivalent to...

Currently, Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete accounts for the world's 8-10% anthropogenic carbon/ greenhouse (GHG) emissions, where 90-95% of the emissions are due to the production of OPC. A 200% increase in OPC demand is projected by 2050 from 2010 levels. Therefore, it is urgent to reduce these emissions arising from its production....

Interest in composites for application in Civil Engineering structures, has seen significant increase in recent years. From composite repairs on existing structures from concrete or structural steel, to composite decks in bridges or even structures made solely out of fibre reinforced composites, the structural industry is following the already...

The Moon is covered by a blanket of rock fragments and loosely bound dust particles called regolith. This layer is key in deciphering the evolution of the Moon and the terrestrial planets, including Earth. It is also a protagonist in the return of humanity to the Moon after its last visit over half a century ago. The main concern for lunar...

Bangkok, the primary mega-city of Thailand, had once been driven by water-based development until car mobility was introduced. Since then, the development has been gradually shifted to land-based. The dispersed roads and highways stimulated the urban sprawl where suburban gated communities are built in the outskirts, inaccessible by public...

As cities are getting denser and larger, space for conventional green features is diminishing. Cities without green alienate people from nature, deteriorate ecological systems and directly harm personal well-being. Limited open areas and many sealed surfaces in today’s cities raise the need for a renewed green space approach that fits in an...

Three-dimensional building models play a pivotal role in shaping the digital twin of our world. With the advance of sensing technologies, unprecedented data acquisition capabilities on capturing the built environment have surfaced, with photogrammetry and light detection and ranging being the two important sources, both of which can acquire...

The Netherlands experienced a large influx of refugees over the past years, which peaked in 2015. Many of these refugees have recently had their temporary residency extended into a permanent residency. In spite of this, there is a disproportionately high percentage of unemployment among refugees and many experience a lack of social and academic...

This paper is part of a master’s degree in Architecture at Delft University of Technology. It is addressing single-person households as they are found to be the most affected group from the current state of the Dutch housing market. This forms the relevance of this study and formulates the research objective.<br/>The theoretical part describes...

Six cyclic settlement models for sand are evaluated to analyse the settlement of automatic stacking crane (ASC) rail tracks at the Rotterdam World Gateway (RWG) container terminal. During Phase 1 of the RWG container terminal settlement of the rail tracks occurred at multiple locations after the ASCs became operational....

Drought and subsidence are two out of several water-related urban climate adaptation challenges many cities in the Netherlands currently face. Drought is expected to increase in frequency and extent due to climate change. Therefore, drought is likely to further pressurize (subsiding) urban areas in the coming decades. Although the impact of...

Starters are facing an almost impossible task to find a dwelling on a housing market where there is scarcity. At the same time a changing climate and other environmental issues demand a different way of building, that differs from the traditional building methods and uses materials that have a positive impact to these environmental issues. A...

Malaria remains a major burden on global health, with roughly 200 million reported cases worldwide and more than 400,000 deaths per year. According to the World Health Organization, ninety-three percent of all deaths due to the disease occurred in developing countries in sub-Saharan Africa. This large percentage is directly correlated to the...

What is the future of urban industrial land? This is a challenge urban design and planning field has only just started to undertake. Currently, the differentiation between the urban core as the front stage zone for human residence and entertainment versus the rural periphery as the backstage zone for production, logistics and energy harvesting...

This thesis explores possible transformations of peri-urban areas in the Jing-Jin-Ji megaregion (China) in order to improve the region’s performance in terms of environmental and social sustainability. Peri-urbanity in East-Asia - or Desakota, a term coined by Terry McGee in the 1990s - can be conceptualized as a combination of easing urban...

Reinink, Sebastien (author)
This research focuses on the relation between the compact city and urban life. Literature suggests that a holistic approach to further compacting a city means also integrating urban life qualities. This is currently lacking in Western European practice due to pragmatism, decentralisation and neo-liberal plot-led development. This while both...
