Muraro, S. (author)The geotechnical description of peats represents one of the main challenges in the Netherlands to assure the required safety standard and performance of the flood defence infrastructure. Almost a third of the country is situated below the sea and the rivers level with about 60% to 70% of the population and economic assets concentrated in low...doctoral thesis 2019

Golchin, A. (author)In the serviceability lifespan of thermo-active geo-structures such as energy-piles, soils surrounding these structures are exposed to a combination of mechanical and thermal loads. These loads are often complex (including cycles) and, depending on the state of the soils, the response of the surrounding soil to these loads may differ. Since the...doctoral thesis 2023

Radermacher, M. (author), De Wit, L. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author), Winterwerp, J.C. (author)When dredging in sensitive environments, efforts have to be made to limit the free dispersal of suspended fine sediment from the dredging spill. Especially the use of hanging silt curtains as an environmental mitigation measure is widespread. Despite frequent application, their ability to reduce turbidity levels through vertical diversion of...journal article 2015

Pradena, Mauricio (author), Houben, L.J.M. (author), César, Andrés (author)Generally, joint performance in concrete pavements is evaluated in laboratory by applying dynamic loads that require large scale experimental setups. In order to propose a simplified laboratory test, a comprehensive literary review of the fundamentals of load transfer at joints is made, and the load transfer efficiency obtained via a reduced...journal article 2022

Cheng, Xiaoyang (author), Diambra, Andrea (author), Ibraim, Erdin (author), Liu, H. (author), Pisano, F. (author)Based on advanced 3D finite element modelling, this paper analyses the stress paths experienced by soil elements in the vicinity of a monopile foundation for offshore wind turbines subjected to cyclic loading with the aim of informing soil laboratory testing in support of monopile foundation design. It is shown that the soil elements in front of...journal article 2021

Jommi, C. (author), Chao, C. (author), Muraro, S. (author), Zhao, H.F. (author)Recent research effort carried out at Delft University of Technology to improve the experimental knowledge and develop a comprehensive modelling approach for fibrous organic soils is summarised. Experimental results and numerical analyses are combined to discuss some contradictory results which have delayed advanced characterisation of peats....journal article 2021

Jommi, C. (author), Muraro, S. (author), Trivellato, Edoardo (author), Zwanenburg, C. (author)Direct observation of gas in peat layers, generated by slow degradation in anoxic conditions, raised concern in the Netherlands about its potential impact on the geotechnical response of dykes founded on peat. To address this issue, an experimental investigation was initiated, aimed at quantifying the main consequences of the presence of gas...journal article 2019

Sivakumar, Vinayagamoorthy (author), Fanning, Joseph (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Tripathy, Snehasis (author), Bradshaw, Aaron (author), Murray, Edward J. (author), Black, Jonathan (author), Donohue, Shane (author)This paper presents data from an initial development stage of an 'umbrella anchor' concept. The anchor can be pushed into sand deposit in a folded arrangement to reduce installation loads. When a pull-out load is applied to the mooring line, the anchor deploys to create a large embedded plate anchor. Physical modelling was carried out in...journal article 2023

Pradena, M.A. (author), Houben, L.J.M. (author), César, Andrés (author)Aggregate interlock is the dominant load transfer mechanism in non-dowelled Jointed Plain Concrete Pavements, as the innovative short concrete slabs. Although the Load Transfer Efficiency of this pavement innovation is based on that mechanism, the structural design methods do not relate the Load Transfer Efficiency by aggregate interlock with...journal article 2020

(author)This paper is the first of a set of linked publications on the PISA Joint Industry Research Project, which was concerned with the development of improved design methods for monopile foundations in offshore wind applications. PISA involved large-scale pile tests in overconsolidated glacial till at Cowden, north-east England, and in dense,...journal article 2020

Guo, Y. (author), Golchin, A. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author), Liu, Songyu (author), Zhang, Guozhu (author), Vardon, P.J. (author)The effect of temperature on the monotonic and cyclic shearing response of a soil–structure interface is of critical importance for the application of thermal-active geo-structures. To investigate this, soils and soil–concrete interfaces were comprehensively tested with a temperature-controlled direct shear device under both fixed...journal article 2023

Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), van der Veen, C. (author), Koekkoek, Rutger (author), Sliedrecht, Henk (author)Previous research showed that the capacity of existing slab-between-girder bridges is larger than expected based on the punching shear capacity prescribed by the governing codes, as a result of compressive membrane action. A first series of fatigue tests confirmed that compressive membrane action also acts under cycles of loading. However, a...journal article 2019

Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), van der Veen, C. (author), Koekkoek, Rutger (author), Sliedrecht, Henk (author)In the Netherlands, slab-between-girder bridges with prestressed girders and transversely prestressed decks in between the girders require assessment. Static testing showed that compressive membrane action increases the capacity of these structures and that the decks fail in punching shear. The next question is if compressive membrane action...journal article 2019

Paz Noriega, S. (author)The following thesis has three major purposes: (1) to explore the static liquefaction phenomenon in saturated sand as a relevant geotechnical hazard, (2) to show the conventional testing procedures for index characterisation and strength testing of saturated fine sands at low stress levels, and (3) to look into the fluidization mechanism and the...master thesis 2015

De Leau, J. (author)An important step in the design process of breakwaters is the laboratorial tests which show the performance of the breakwater. One of the important aspects in the performance is the stability of the armour layer. A common methodology for breakwater testing is a method in which the design wave conditions are simulated in four steps of 1000 or...master thesis 2017

Sanchez Alonso, Carlota (author)Chalk putty is a soil-like material that is formed when intact chalk is disturbed. Recently, it has become of special interest due to the development of offshore wind farms in the North and Baltic Seas, where in a number of sites piles are driven into chalk strata. Several pile tests reported in the literature show increased shaft capacity up to...master thesis 2019
