Papadonikolaki, E. (author), Vrijhoef, R. (author), Wamelink, J.W.F. (author)This paper proposes a model to integrate the construction Supply Chain (SC) through Building Information Modelling (BIM). The various information flows in the construction SC are vague. BIM is an aspiring integrator of information that could potentially improve such multi-disciplinary information flows. The paper presents a method to bridge...conference paper 2015

Fouladvand, J. (author), Verkerk, D. (author), Nikolic, I. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author)Energy communities are gaining momentum in the context of the energy transition. Given the distributed and collective action nature of energy communities, energy security of these local energy systems is more than just security of supply and related to issues such as affordability and acceptability of energy to members of the community. We build...conference paper 2022

Hoornahad, H. (author)No-slump concrete (NSLC) is one of the commercial types of concrete that is known as a type of concrete with almost zero flowability. No-slump concrete is normally used for typical applications, like pavements construction and massive dam structures. The specific feature of a no-slump concrete is its high shape holding ability. No fixed formwork...doctoral thesis 2014

Schroijen, M.J.T. (author)Anthropogenic environmental impact is growing despite large technical efforts to reduce it. Its dependency on technology induced human behaviour makes designing for environmental impact reduction particularly difficult. Despite the fact that the sustainable conundrum is characterized as a “no technical solution problem”, a framework is proposed...doctoral thesis 2011

Park Lee, E.H. (author)In the transition towards low-carbon energy systems, the growth of variable renewable energy sources (V-RES) like solar and wind in the electricity systems is calling for more flexibility measures. These are needed to cope with the increased uncertainty and variability that affects the residual demand. Flexibility can be offered by traditional...doctoral thesis 2019

Lee, J. (author)Current aircraft maintenance ensures safe and reliable flight operations based on inspections repeated at fixed time intervals. The time interval between inspections is often much shorter than the average life of aircraft components, in an effort to timely detect potential failures. While this approach successfully prevents most potential...doctoral thesis 2022
