Martinez Palacio, Maria Daniela (author)The rapid growth in building stock and the demand for new construction present significant challenges in terms of material scarcity, waste production, and greenhouse gas emissions. To address these challenges, a fundamental shift in the construction industry's approach is needed, viewing waste as a resource through circularity principles. This...master thesis 2023

Dubbeldam, Nick (author)This research aims to improve the structural safety of wide floor slabs with openings due to embedded non-structural elements. The multidisciplinary design of these slabs has resulted in various safety issues, including errors in the design due to the absence of a calculation method and insufficient integration between designs of different...master thesis 2023

Rademaker, Geke (author)The steel sector is responsible for 4-5% of the total greenhouse gas emissions in the world. Reusing structural steel elements can potentially decrease the need for the production of new steel. However, designing a load-bearing structure with reusable elements poses challenges to the design process. The starting point of the process is different...master thesis 2022

Haasis, Chris (author)The buildings construction industry is demanded to reduce its ecological footprint to mitigate its contribution to climate change. In this context, a novel sustainable design strategy for the reuse of timber was developed in this Master thesis. The design strategy focuses on the utilization of the material “reclaimed timber” (RT) in the...master thesis 2022

Alberts Coelho, Alexsander (author)The building stock and the construction industry combined are responsible for a large share of greenhouse gases emissions. At the same time, every year tons of wood, paper and agricultural residues are wasted instead of recycled and upcycled into the production chain. In the fabrication field, the relevance of additive manufacturing processes is...master thesis 2022

Pargalgauskas, Skirmantas (author)The main purpose of this report is to investigate flaws within Cornelis Tromp 25T lemniscate crane upper arm joint. This is done in order to figure out why the joint structure is experiencing significant crack propagation and what potentially could have led to a structural joint failure and death of an operator within a crane of the same model....master thesis 2022

Vigorito, Alessio (author)This research aimed to design a new bridge for the city of Rome, Italy, through the support of modern optimisation and decision-making processes that can be implemented to make informed choices regarding aesthetic performance, structural firmness, and environmental impact. The bridge’s design was carried forward considering the city’s plans for...master thesis 2020

Vonck, Tim (author)Globally the construction is a major contributor to the severity of the anthropogenic environmental impact. The sector emits 39% of the global CO2 and is responsible of 40-50% of material flows. The focus of reducing the environmental impact in buildings is, in the past, mostly attributed to the operational energy. However, due to increasing...master thesis 2019

Bauer, Lorijn (author)Timber structures are experiencing a revelation in the build environment due to new technologies and production techniques. However, the longest spans created with timber structures still don't compete with the span widths of structures made of steel. This thesis provides a preliminary design for the long-span football stadium roof structure of...master thesis 2019

Agarwal, Krittika (author)While the world is advancing with taller structures using engineered wood, little importance is being given to natural wood, which is abundantly available in most regions of the world. The lack of technological research using this material in its natural state has caused a drawback in its usage. Also, the dependence on engineered wood for modern...master thesis 2019

Stins, Jack (author)An offshore wind turbine is placed on a so called “foundation” to gain height above the sea surface level. One of the used foundations is the jacket structure, which is kept in place by pre-piled supports. The piles are hammered into the seabed first, after which the jacket legs are stabbed into the piles. A template is used to guide the piles...master thesis 2018

van Dongen, Karel (author)The objective of this research project is to verify whether 3D printing of concrete (3DPC) reduces the environmental impact by increasing the structural efficiency. During the literature study, numerous articles were identified that claimed an increase of structural efficiency by using 3DPC to reduce material use. Some of these articles suggest...master thesis 2018

Hofstee, Niels (author)The construction sector contributes to a significant portion of global energy consumption, CO2 emissions and the use of material resources. As climate change escalates with rapidly increasing temperatures, more extreme weather patterns and rising sea levels, an urge to reduce the environmental impact is evident. <br/><br/>A discrepancy is...master thesis 2018

Cobb, Michael (author)Architecture within the last twenty years has developed in many ways. One such direction was reintroducing the physical world and physical phenomenon back to architectural language and design space. This is especially true as buildings have had to become more and more environmentally sustainable and developable with programs such as LEED, BREEAM...master thesis 2018

Neeskens, Tim (author)The research focuses on the combined use of thin glass and a 3D printed spacer pattern. The goal is to design a possible solution to use thin glass in architecture.<br/>In the first part of the thesis background research on thin glass, additive manufacturing, adhesive bonding and structural geometry is conducted. This has lead to results to...master thesis 2018

Stoffer, Maurits (author)The main objective of this graduation is to find a new structural principle that is emulated by the design by nature. Observing, analysing and transforming the natural design principles and laws could derive a new application in the field of structural design. There are many concepts, approaches and directions to translate biology to...master thesis 2018
