Knoppert, Sammie (author)In the last decades, climate change is causing our environment to change rapidly, unprecedented in recent history. Civil engineering structures are dependent on the deteriorating environment they are situated in. Changes can cause an increase in loading due to, for example, extreme weather events or alter the structure’s resistance by, for...master thesis 2023

Kok, Marin (author)Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects have become an internationally popular model for construction projects, where large risks are bore by the EPC contractor and the subcontractors [Galloway, 2009; Guo et al., 2010]. Risks are inherent to all construction projects, however, the high uncertainties of the international EPC...master thesis 2023

Rizea, Alexandru (author)The construction industry is subjet to a wide range of uncertainties and risks. Although detailed risk management processes have been created, many projects still fail one or more of the initial objectives. This research looks into the influence of risk attitude on the risk amnagement process and provides practitioners with both a tool to...master thesis 2023

Aktürk, Gül (author)Vernacular heritage sites encompass customs, practices, places, objects, artistic expressions, and values that are innate to a particular place and time. Climate knowledge of the particular place and time is embedded in vernacular settlements and lifestyles along with other environmental, cultural, and societal determinants of the place. Rebuilt...doctoral thesis 2023

Wang, Te (author), Li, Zongkun (author), Ge, W. (author), zhang, Z.H. (author), Zhang, Yadong (author), Sun, Heqiang (author), Jiao, Yutie (author)Compared with a single reservoir, the risk in cascade reservoirs has the transmission and superposition effect, which increases the complexity of its risk consequence assessment. In view of this problem, the direct consequence (DC) and potential consequence (PC) were defined as two parts of the dam breach risk consequence of cascade reservoirs....journal article 2023

Li, Xinhong (author), Ma, Jie (author), Han, Ziyue (author), Zhang, Y. (author), Yang, M. (author)This paper presents a game theory methodology for risk management of urban natural gas pipelines, which is a collaborative participation mechanism of the stakeholders, including government, pipeline companies, and the public. Firstly, the involvement proportion of stakeholders in risk management under rational conditions is estimated by the...journal article 2023

Geng, S. (author), Yang, M. (author), Mitici, Mihaela (author), Liu, Sifeng (author)System resilience characterizes the capability of maintaining the required functionality under disruptions, which is of great significance in evaluating the productivity and safety of complex engineered systems. Although most studies conduct resilience assessment from qualitative and quantitative perspectives, system functionality that reflects...journal article 2023

Rod, J. E. (author), King, Mark (author), Oviedo-Trespalacios, O. (author)Walking is the cornerstone of active and sustainable transport. However, traffic safety concerns among pedestrians could reduce walking behaviour. Safety concerns are generally measured through risk perceptions. Unfortunately, a lack of theoretical development of risk perceptions in walking behaviour research has limited our capacity to identify...journal article 2023

Hendrickx, G.G. (author), Antolínez, José A. Á. (author), Herman, P.M.J. (author)In recent years, coastal management has been facing new challenges: socio-economic growth and consequent climate change impose new boundary conditions pushing coastal systems towards unseen states. For adaptation and mitigation strategies as well as risk management, the resilience of systems to these projected changes must be tested and...journal article 2023

den Heijer, F. (author), Rijke, Jeroen (author), Bosch-Rekveldt, M.G.C. (author), de Leeuw, Annemargreet (author), Barciela Rial, M. (author)Flood defences are in practice often multi-used, multi-managed and multi-financed. Flood defence asset management contains technical, organizational and spatial complex issues involving multiple organizations. In the literature, little attention has been given to the conditions for successful cooperation between organizations in flood defence...journal article 2023

Sharma, Vikas (author)Opportunity Management is a well-defined concept in the field of project management. However, at the same time, opportunity management is not practised very well. Under risk management, threats and opportunities are identified and managed. In practise, opportunities are overlooked while threats receive more attention. Numerous barriers to the...master thesis 2022

van Engelen, Yves (author)In the current digitalised society keeping assets secure is one of the most prominent challenges organisations face. In the ongoing arms race between attackers and defenders, software security patching is a well-recognised and effective strategy to mitigate vulnerabilities in software products. However, organisations struggle with the best...master thesis 2022

Wever, Jason (author)Flood risk models are frequently used to analyse the climate- and socio-economic-driven impact of flooding hazards. However, model validation is rarely done adequately due to the rare occurrence of floods and even less frequent reporting of corresponding damages. <br/> <br/>In this research, validation is defined as the process of ensuring that...master thesis 2022

Ding, Xiaoling (author)Flooding is one of the most destructive climate disasters. Since the 21st century, the United States, Thailand, China, and many other countries have been hit by flash floods, which not only exposed the vulnerability of the urban system expansively but also serves as an opportunity to promote resilient city construction. The research begins by...master thesis 2022

van Berchum, E.C. (author)Manycoastal cities are struggling with a rapidly growing risk of flooding. The sizeand complexity of these cities often demand a coordinated strategy, consistingof a combination of flood risk reduction measures. A crucial part in the designprocess is the identification of effective flood risk management strategies. However,data and resources are...doctoral thesis 2022

Correa Galdeano, Francisco (author)The construction industry has been, throughout time, heavily hindered by cost overruns and delays in the delivery of projects. This picture has only been magnified by the increased size, complexity, and urgent demand for their delivery. Responding to this circumstance has taken different paths. One of these has been updating and improving how...master thesis 2022

Stolk, Joris (author)Construction projects have become more complex over time, and cost overruns and time delays have become a global phenomenon. Signs that can indicate future project failure, such as cost overruns and time delays, in early project phases are Early Warning (EW) signs. EW signs are defined as indicators for potential future problems. This research...master thesis 2022

van Werkhoven, Suzan (author)Despite the severity and high frequency of cost overruns in construction projects, it is considered a rule rather than an exception. This phenomenon occurs when the initially estimated budget does not suffice the actual costs needed to realise the project. Uncertainty and bias challenge the ability to make cost estimates. Incorrect estimates of...master thesis 2022

Kräussl, Zsofia (author), Baida, Ziv (author), Post, Suzanne (author), Rukanova, B.D. (author), Tan, Y. (author)Circular Economy (CE) and sustainability are getting high on the political agenda of governments on the global level. Businesses and supply chains are at the heart of that transition, and need to make big steps in the coming years for making the transition from a linear model of make-use-dispose towards a circular model. For this transition,...conference paper 2022
