Konstadinou, M. (author), Herrier, G. (author), Stoutjesdijk, T. (author), Losma, F. (author), Zwanenburg, C. (author), Dobbe, R. (author)This study aimed to assess the suitability of lime treatment for use in dikes in the Netherlands. The effect of this technique on the behavior of a Dutch clay was addressed by comparing the detailed response of lime-treated and natural samples at different lime contents (1.25% and 2.25%) and curing periods. A series of laboratory tests...journal article 2023

Guo, Y. (author), Golchin, A. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author), Liu, Songyu (author), Zhang, Guozhu (author), Vardon, P.J. (author)The effect of temperature on the monotonic and cyclic shearing response of a soil–structure interface is of critical importance for the application of thermal-active geo-structures. To investigate this, soils and soil–concrete interfaces were comprehensively tested with a temperature-controlled direct shear device under both fixed...journal article 2023

Zhang, A. (author), Dieudonné, A.A.M. (author)Microbially induced carbonate precipitation is a promising ground improvement technique which can enhance the mechanical properties of soils through the precipitation of calcium carbonate.

Gu, D. (author), Pan, Jinlong (author), Lukovic, M. (author), He, Jixuan (author)Application of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement in concrete beams may cause large deflection and crack width, as well as low shear capacity and ductility due to relatively small stiffness of FRP materials. To avoid these unfavorable factors and evaluate the shear behavior of FRP-reinforced structural members, a high-performance...journal article 2022

Barciela Rial, M. (author), Vardon, P.J. (author), van Kessel, Thijs (author), Griffioen, Jasper (author), Winterwerp, J.C. (author)Progressively, more dredged sediments are being reused for engineering projects. For example, the Marker Wadden is a new wetland constructed in lake Markermeer, the Netherlands, with dredged cohesive sediments originating from the bed of the lake. Such dredged sediments are often dominated by cohesive sediment particles with varying amounts of...journal article 2022

de Sousa, Alex M.D. (author), Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), Yang, Y. (author), El Debs, Mounir K. (author)The shear strength evaluation of reinforced concrete bridge deck slabs by accurate models can indicate strength reserves and avoid costly operations necessary for the extension of their lifetime. This article introduces an approach that extends the Critical Shear Displacement Theory model (CSDT) for reaching higher levels of approximation of...journal article 2021

Muraro, S. (author), Jommi, C. (author)Conventional triaxial tests on peats are strongly criticised due to the very high shear strength parameters obtained from standard data elaboration, leading to unrealistic factors of safety when used in geotechnical design and assessment. Various operational approaches have been proposed in the literature to overcome this difficulty; however,...journal article 2021

Kirichek, Alex (author), Shakeel, A. (author), Chassagne, C. (author)Purpose: Fluid mud layers can be substantial in waterways and they can jeopardise navigation when the ship’s keel comes in its vicinity. The nautical bottom has therefore to be properly characterised. Mud density and yield stress are used as criteria to characterise the nautical bottom. For a decade, measuring these parameters in situ has...journal article 2020

de Sousa, AlexM.D. (author), Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), El Debs, Mounir K. (author)The calibration of most analytical models that assess the shear strength of wide reinforced concrete members without shear reinforcement is based on simply supported beam tests, which may not be representative of slabs and wide members failing in shear. This paper addresses the knowledge on the shear strength of wide members, identification of...journal article 2020

Jommi, C. (author), Muraro, S. (author), Trivellato, Edoardo (author), Zwanenburg, C. (author)Direct observation of gas in peat layers, generated by slow degradation in anoxic conditions, raised concern in the Netherlands about its potential impact on the geotechnical response of dykes founded on peat. To address this issue, an experimental investigation was initiated, aimed at quantifying the main consequences of the presence of gas...journal article 2019

Hagenbeek, M. (author), Sinke, J. (author)Heated GLARE, a Fibre Metal Laminate with an integrated heater element, has been developed for de- or anti-icing systems in aircraft structures. Besides cyclic thermal loading these structures are also subjected to mechanical loading. To investigate the effect of static loading in addition to thermal cycling a series of tests have been performed...journal article 2019

(author), Fan, Xuejun (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)Modern power electronics has the increased demands in current density and high-temperature reliability. However, these performance factors are limited due to the die attach materials used to affix power dies microchips to electric circuitry. Although several die attach materials and methods exist, nanosilver sintering technology has received...journal article 2019

van der Krogt, M.G. (author), Schweckendiek, T. (author), Kok, M. (author)Transformation models are used to infer geotechnical properties from indirect measurements. A site-specific transformation model can be calibrated with direct and indirect measurements from a site. When such a model is used, then spatial variability, measurement errors and statistical uncertainty propagate into the uncertainty of the spatial...journal article 2018

Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), van der Veen, C. (author), de Boer, A (author), Hordijk, D.A. (author)A large number of existing reinforced concrete solid slab bridges in the Netherlands are found to be insufficient for shear upon assessment.
