Zhao, Lixiao (author), Feng, Pan (author)Chloride diffusion in concrete is one of the key parameters of durability design for structure. Existing methods of reducing the chloride diffusion such as decreasing water-cement ratio and adding mineral admixtures often lead to increase the risk of concrete cracking. In this study, we focused on mitigating the permeation of chloride ions in...conference paper 2021

Lafont, U.L. (author), Van Zeijl, H. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author)In this work, we investigate the formation of self-healing systems that are able to recover more than once more than one (mechanical or other physical) functionality. To this aim composites were created consisting of a polysulfide thermoset rubber matrix having intrinsic self-healing properties filled with thermally/electrically conductive...conference paper 2013

Lafont, U.L. (author), Van Zeijl, H.W. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author)While conventional self healing materials focus on the restoration of mechanical properties, newer generations of self healing materials focus on the restoration of other functional (i.e. non-mechanical) properties. Thermal conductivity is an example of an important functional property of a Thermal Interface Material (TIM) for LED’s and...conference paper 2013

Di Emidio, G. (author), Peiffer, H. (author), Malengier, B. (author), Kison, P. (author), Bezuijen, A. (author)The purpose of this research is to validate a mathematical model for flow through saturated and unsaturated porous media using a bench-scale centrifuge for an accurate determination of the hydraulic conductivity (function of the saturation degree of a soil) within a limited time at a reasonable price. The aim of this paper is to show preliminary...conference paper 2012

Liu, K. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author), Vardon, P.J. (author), Jommi, C. (author)Piping has been attributed as a major cause of dam and embankment failures. Current national prediction models to predict piping use the hydraulic gradient between the upstream and downstream water levels as an indicator. They are deterministic and take no account of preferential pathways. However, piping usually initiates from a discrete...conference paper 2015

Rombouts, P.M.M. (author), Schilperoort, R. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the applicability of, and need for, surrogate sensors as robust sensors for water quality based RTC. For this purpose 1.5 years of level, conductivity (EC) and turbidity (TU) measurements at 9 combined sewer overflow (CSO) locations have been performed and analysed to determine the most polluted CSO...conference paper 2013

Lennartz, C. (author), Haffner, M.E.A. (author), Oxley, M.J. (author)When policy makers claim that rented housing has to become more competitive, there is no consensus on what competition in this context actually means. The same holds true for scientific housing research: Theories that have utilized the economic concept of competition tend to rely on implicit definitions or focus on selected aspects. In...conference paper 2009

Kooij, R.E. (author), Schumm, P. (author), Scoglio, C. (author), Youssef, M. (author)The robustness of a network is depending on the type of attack we are considering. In this paper we focus on the spread of viruses on networks. It is common practice to use the epidemic threshold as a measure for robustness. Because the epidemic threshold is inversely proportional to the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix, it seems easy...conference paper 2009

Saeid, S. (author), Barends, F.B.J. (author)One of the crucial topics in this century is sustainable energy. Since the sources of fossil fuels are limited and are going to be exhausted, there is a need to look for sustainable renewable energy. In this respect, the exploitation of geothermal energy from deep hot aquifers becomes opportune. Hence, insight is required in the heat balance of...conference paper 2009

de Graaf, G. (author), Abarca Prouza, A.N. (author), Wolffenbuttel, R.F. (author)Conventional thermal conductivity detectors (TCDs) demonstrate a flow dependence. The approach presented here to reduce the flow dependence is based on the on-line flow compensation using two thin-film sensors on membranes in parallel on the same chip that are differentially operated. These are laterally identically, but with a different depth...conference paper 2015

Rasooli, A. (author), Itard, L.C.M. (author), Infante Ferreira, C.A. (author)Large deviations observed between the actual and theoretical gas consumption in Dutch dwellings, cast a shadow of doubt on the accuracy of the energy labeling method. In this sense, the accuracy of the calculation methods as well as the inputs being fed, fall under the question. According to several studies, the significance of wall’s thermal...conference paper 2016
