Diab Montero, H.A. (author)In this dissertation, I explore ensemble data assimilation methods to enhance our capability to forecast earthquakes and slow slip events, focusing on the critical challenge posed by limited information on the current stress state of faults. <br/>At the outset, the research acknowledges the inherent limitations in our current understanding of...doctoral thesis 2024

Barneveld, H.J. (author), Mosselman, E. (author), Chavarrías, V. (author), Hoitink, A.J.F. (author)Sustainable river management often requires long-term morphological simulations. As the future is unknown, uncertainty needs to be accounted for, which may require probabilistic simulations covering a large parameter domain. Even for one-dimensional models, simulation times can be long. One of the acceleration strategies is simplification of...abstract 2024

(author)The deployment of electromagnetic (EM) induction tools while drilling is one of the standard routines for assisting the geosteering decision-making process. The conductivity distribution obtained through the inversion of the EM induction log can provide important information about the geological structure around the borehole. To image the 3-D...journal article 2024

Tott-Buswell, Jacques (author), Prendergast, Luke J. (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author)Monopiles are the most common Offshore Wind Turbine (OWT) foundations due to their simplicity in design, fabrication, and installation. However, large new-generation turbines have led to significant changes in monopile dimensions, necessitating extensive finite element analyses and ground investigations to meet design requirements. While Cone...journal article 2024

(author), Savic, Dragan (author), Shao, Tan (author), Huang, Wei Min (author), Zhao, Tongtiegang (author), Chen, Xiaohong (author)Low-lying coastal cities are vulnerable to compound floods caused by many factors including river flows, tides and local rainfall. Many previous studies focus on the impacts of rainfall and tidal levels (two driving factors) on estuaries or regions near the main single river, while research about the three influencing factors on the floods...journal article 2024

van Westen, B. (author), Luijendijk, Arjen (author), de Vries, S. (author), Cohn, Nicholas (author), Leijnse, Tim W.B. (author), de Schipper, M.A. (author)Quantitative predictions of marine and aeolian sediment transport in the nearshore–beach–dune system are important for designing Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) in coastal environments. To quantify the impact of the marine-aeolian interactions on shaping NBS, we present a framework coupling three existing process-based models: Delft3D Flexible...journal article 2024

Kettler, T.T. (author), de Schipper, M.A. (author), Luijendijk, Arjen (author)Projections of high rates of sea level rise have stimulated proposals for adaptation strategies with increasingly high nourishment volumes along sandy beaches. An underlying assumption is that coastal profiles respond rapidly to nourishments by redistributing sediments towards a (new) equilibrium shape. However, this perception may not be...journal article 2024

Shirmohammadi, F. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Veltmeijer, A.V. (author), Naderloo, M. (author), Barnhoorn, A. (author)Seismic interferometry (SI) retrieves new seismic responses, for example reflections, between either receivers or sources. When SI is applied to a reflection survey with active sources and receivers at the surface, non-physical (ghost) reflections are retrieved as well. Ghost reflections, retrieved from the correlation of two primary...journal article 2024

Jain, Uday (author)Masonry structures occupy a significant share of the current building stock due to widespread material availability and cost-effectiveness. Regions with high seismicity, like the Himalayas, have typically developed local seismic culture over the centuries. This has led to improved construction techniques providing an enhanced seismic performance...master thesis 2023

Bui, Tuan Anh (author), Cammarata, Giuseppe (author), Choudary Kancharla, Varun (author), Brinkgreve, R.B.J. (author), Brasile, Sandro (author)Rock bolting plays an important role in different geo-engineering applications and its numerical modelling is crucial for the analysis and design of rock structures. Continuum modelling simulation of bolt-reinforced rock masses requires specific techniques to properly model the reinforcement system and its interaction with the rock mass, which...conference paper 2023

Kawasaki, Y. (author), Minato, S. (author), Ghose, R. (author)Bulk-density ( ρ) of soil is an important indicator of soil compaction and type. A knowledge of the spatial variability of in situ soil density is important in geotechnical engineering, hydrology and agriculture. Surface geophysical methods have so far shown limited success in providing an accurate and high-resolution image of 3-D soil...journal article 2023

(author)An unstructured hydrodynamic model is presented that is able to simulate 2D nearshore hydrodynamics on the wave group scale. A non-stationary wave driver with directional spreading, with physics similar to XBeach (Roelvink et al., 2009) is linked to an improved and extended version of the existing unstructured flow solver Delft3D–FM (Kernkamp...journal article 2023

(author)This study aims to investigate the damage response of unreinforced masonry (URM) façades resting on strip foundations and subjected to ground settlements via numerical models. The models depict the non-linear constitutive behaviour of both the masonry, via smeared cracking, and of the soil-foundation interaction, via nonlinear interface...journal article 2023

O'Connell, Ken (author), Olaleye, Akeem K. (author), van den Akker, H.E.A. (author)The development of a novel numerical model for droplet drying is the topic of this paper. The three main stages of droplet drying are distinguished, viz. unhindered evaporation of a ’wet’ particle (the droplet), restricted drying at a falling rate due to the formation of a crust around a wet core, and inert heating of the dry porous particle....journal article 2023
