van der Storm, Geraldine (author)In the upcoming years the Municipality of Amsterdam has to cope with renovation works to approximately 200 kilometers of quay walls and 800 bridges. These projects need to be executed in the least burdensome manner, which is why executing parties are obliged to perform their construction logistics via waterways instead of the road. Stakeholders...master thesis 2023

Dannenberg, Jan-Mark (author)This master's thesis addresses a common problem of the adoption of IT automation; the nonoptimal use of the technology due to ineffective managerial communication. It searches for a solution by using the Design Science Research methodology to create a design artifact in the form of a managerial communication framework. This framework provides...master thesis 2023

Cheng, L. (author)In the past two decades, offshore wind has emerged as a new source of renewable energy. This highlights the requirement for the utilisation of larger and more efficient offshore wind turbines (OWTs). The connections used in support structures of OWTs are critical to ensure the excellent structural performance of OWFs. An alternative option is...doctoral thesis 2023

Hubregtse, Ninah (author)Energy consumption has become a significant global issue due to climatic and environmental challenges, a lack of energy resources, and rising energy prices. The building stock accounts for 40% of the total energy consumption. Therefore, efforts should be made to explore possibilities to reduce energy consumption and related CO2-emissions, not...master thesis 2023

Mekkes, Erik (author)Large Language Models of code have seen significant jumps in performance recently. However, these jumps tend to accompany a notable and perhaps concerning increase in scale and costs. We contribute an evaluation of prediction performance with respect to model size by assessing the layer-wise progression for language and user-defined elements in...bachelor thesis 2023

Consoli, Gabriella (author)The rise in average surface temperature has intensified the need to explore new<br/>methods to address climate change. Housing sector is one of the leading contributors to the total energy consumption. As a solution, there has been a growing emphasis on the application of passive strategies in buildings that leverage local climatic conditions....master thesis 2023

Ullmer, Patrick (author)Building energy regulations worldwide are increasingly advocating for better-insulated facades since improved insulation in facades can significantly reduce a building’s heating energy demand. However, research indicates that super-insulated buildings are already at risk of overheating due to high internal heat storage and low heat loss. In...master thesis 2023

Huang, H. (author)Concrete made with Portland cement has good behaviour under compressive stress, but it is weak in tension. Cracking caused by tension is a typical problem in concrete practice. High autogenous shrinkage at early ages is one of the causes of cracking, especially in high/ultra-high performance concrete. In that stage shrinkage is strongly related...doctoral thesis 2023
