Tidally- and Wind-Driven Horizontal Flow Patterns on Intertidal Flats in the Wadden Sea: An Assessment using Subgrid Modeling Technique

The Wadden Sea is of great ecological importance. Key elements in the Wadden Sea are the extensive intertidal flats. These contain vast amounts of life, serve as feeding grounds for millions of birds, and provide ecosystem services such as coastal protection. It follows that it is important to be able to understand and predict how these vital...

Modelling the mechanical performance of bolted deck-to-girder connections in FRP-steel hybrid bridges

In recent years, a growing amount of movable highway bridges with a timber deck are approaching the end of their service life. Since these bridges have opened, the traffic intensity has increased yearly and environmental effects had the opportunity to deteriorate the bridges slowly. Inspections revealed that the main load-carrying elements are...

Investigation of interface modelling techniques using finite element analysis with ATENA

Study of interface behavior has been the primary area of focus for researchers in the field of concrete science and technology. This interface between two concrete elements becomes important for prefabricated systems, combination of precast and in-situ concrete elements, combinations of concrete cast at different times, repairs of existing...

A Declarative Approach to Procedural Generation of Virtual Worlds

With the ever increasing costs of manual content creation for 3D virtual worlds, the potential of generating content automatically becomes too attractive to ignore. However, for most designers, procedural generation methods are complex and unintuitive to use, and offer little user control. Furthermore, due to their specialized nature, separately...
