RIZOPOULOU, EVANGELIA (author)Precast concrete appears to be promising in dealing with delays in housing construction, yet long lead times are apparent in this industry. Lead time refers to the time that elapses between placing and receiving an order. The construction company Janssen de Jong recognizes the problem of sub-components’ long lead times in precast concrete house...master thesis 2022

Willard, Tijmen (author)The water quality of the Brantas river in Indonesia is of concern to several agencies on East Java. These agencies all measure its water quality in their own way in terms of locations, rhythms and parameters. The goal of this thesis is to find out if these agencies measure the same and if not, how these measurements differ. From these...master thesis 2022

Silva, Ana (author), de Brito, Jorge (author), Thomsen, A.F. (author), Straub, A. (author), Prieto, Andrés J. (author), Lacasse, Michael A. (author)In the last decades, considerable work has been done regarding service life prediction of buildings and building components. Academics and members of the CIB W080 commission, as well as of ISO TC 59/SC14, have made several efforts in this area and created a general terminology for the concept of service life, which is extremely relevant for...review 2022

Salinas Rodriquez, Sergio (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author), McClain, M.E. (author)Environmental flow (eflow) reference values play a key role in environmental water science and practice. In Mexico, eflow assessments are set by a norm in which the frequency of occurrence is the managing factor to integrate inter-annual and seasonal flow variability components into environmental water reserves. However, the frequency parameters...journal article 2022

Mohamed, Ahmed (author), Asmoay, Ahmed (author), Alshehri, Fahad (author), Abdelrady, Ahmed (author), Othman, Abdullah (author)Thirty groundwater samples were taken from Assiut’s northern outskirts. The physicochemical properties of these samples were investigated. For the evaluation of water–rock interaction, the saturation index (SI), chloro-alkaline indices (CAI1 and CAI2), Gibbs ratios for cations and anions (GC and GA), principal component analysis (PCA), and...journal article 2022

Jansen, B. (author), van Stijn, A. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author), van Bortel, G.A. (author)The built environment can be made more circular by gradually replacing building components with more circular components during construction, renovation, or maintenance. However, many different design options can be seen as circular. Although there is a growing number of studies about circular design options, research on what makes these options...journal article 2022
