Dick, Joost (author)Long-term settlement is unavoidable but by good prediction accompanied risks can be reduced. Nowadays linear isotach models belong to the state of the art but result in very small strain rates when small load increments or unloading is applied. For that reason this study has focused on the validation of those predictions using InSAR. Different...master thesis 2022

Carranza Neurohr, Andres (author)In the Netherlands, there is an increasing need to create residential spaces in its already crowded cities to accommodate the growing population. Constructing high-rise buildings is one way to try to solve the issue. However, high-rise buildings are sensitive to wind-induced vibrations. The accurate prediction of the dynamic response is...master thesis 2022

Kovacevic, Meho Sasa (author), Bačić, Mario (author), Librić, Lovorka (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author)To identify the unknown values of the parameters of Burger’s constitutive law, commonly used for the evaluation of the creep behavior of the soft soils, this paper demonstrates a procedure relying on the data obtained from multiple sensors, where each sensor is used to its best advantage. The geophysical, geotechnical, and unmanned aerial...journal article 2022

Wang, L. (author), Wang, Ping (author), Wei, Kai (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author), Li, Z. (author)To investigate the train-induced ground vibration, an explicit time-domain, three dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model is developed. The train, track, embankment, pile-board structure and nearby ground soils are all fully coupled in this model. The complex geometries involving the track components and pile-board structure are all...journal article 2022

Peduto, Dario (author), Prosperi, A. (author), Nicodemo, Gianfranco (author), Korff, M. (author)This study presents a novel framework in which numerical modelling contributes to the performance of district-scale, subsidence-induced damage assessment in cities where ground settlements affect entire quarters. Therein, the implementation of expeditious procedures offers geotechnical engineers the possibility of contributing beyond the...journal article 2022

Zhao, M. (author), de Oliveira Barbosa, J.M. (author), Yuan, Jun (author), Metrikine, A. (author), van Dalen, K.N. (author)This paper investigates the instability of vertical vibrations of an object moving uniformly through a tunnel embedded in soft soil. Using the indirect Boundary Element Method in the frequency domain, the equivalent dynamic stiffness of the tunnel-soil system at the point of contact with the moving object, modelled as a mass-spring system or...journal article 2021

Iereidis, Chris (author)In this study, the assessment of the KIJK dike follows the new guidelines given by POV-M 2018 using PLAXIS. The macrostability assessment and design of the dike is examined for two cases. In the first case the dike is assessed based on the in-situ conditions (Green dike) whereas in the second case a cantilever sheet pile wall is used in the...master thesis 2019

van Koelen, Tim (author)The subsurface is often modelled as multiple homogeneous soil layers. In reality, the soil properties of these layers are heterogeneous and spatially variable, making it difficult to properly deduct the engineering properties that are required in the design of geotechnical structures. This leads to uncertainty in the design. The probabilistic...master thesis 2019

Peduto, Dario (author), Korff, M. (author), Nicodemo, Gianfranco (author), Marchese, Antonio (author), Ferlisi, Settimio (author)The analysis and prediction of damage to buildings resting on highly compressible fine-grained “soft soils” containing (organic) clay and peat are key issues to be addressed for a proper management of subsidence-affected urban areas. Among the probabilistic approaches suggested in literature, those oriented to the generation of empirical...journal article 2019

Fila, Joep (author)As the demand for renewable energy is constantly rising, more offshore wind farms are being built at sea to meet European targets towards sustainable energy transition. Van Oord’s offshore installation vessel Aeolus was purposely-built to transport and install foundations of offshore wind turbines. To ensure that the vessel remains competitive...master thesis 2018

Vu, M.N. (author), Broere, W. (author)In bored tunnel design, most recent structural design models for tunnel linings concentrate on the behaviour of the tunnel lining in the long-term. The load on the tunnel lining in these models is derived from the original soil stresses, often simplified for a single homogeneous layer. Field observations show that higher loads may occur in...journal article 2018

Broere, W. (author), Festa, D. (author)Constructing tunnels in soft soil with the use of Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) may induce settlements. A considerable amount of the total soil displacements is correlated with the passage of the TBM-shield. Even so, the TBM-induced soil displacements are so far only coarsely correlated to the total settlements. This paper relates the shield...journal article 2017

Vu, M.N. (author), Broere, W. (author), Bosch, J.W. (author)Generally, studies on structural design for bored tunnels focus on moderate to deep tunnels (cover-to-diameter ratio C/D ≥ 2). Such tunnel design methods cannot be used for shallow-situated bored tunnels because the influence of buoyancy is discounted, and actual loads on the tunnel lining are not taken into account properly. This paper...journal article 2017

Houkes, C.B. (author)Organic soft soils pose technical challenges in construction industry due to their extraordinary compressibility and deformability, which is an issue of particular relevance in the densely populated Netherlands, of which more than half of the land surface is covered by such soft soils. Uncertainty and variability in settlement predictions for...master thesis 2016

Balachowski, L. (author), Bialek, K. (author)Bearing capacity of the working platforms from sandy soil resting on NCOC clays was analyzed using LimitState GEO program. Different failure modes are considered using distinct layout optimization (DLO) method, which forms the upper bound solution of limit state analysis. Different mechanisms of failure were observed as a function of the...conference paper 2015

Schadee, L.W. (author), Hoefsloot, F.J.M. (author)In the Bloemendalerpolder two test embankments were constructed in 2010 to study the long term behaviour of embankments on very soft soils with respect to settlement and lateral pile loading resulting from horizontal soil deformations. A detailed description of the test embankments, performed soil investigation, laboratory tests and...conference paper 2015

Festa, D. (author)The thesis investigates the mechanical equilibrium of a Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) driving in soft soil. The interaction between the TBM-shield and the soil is also investigated. The analysis is based on monitoring data gathered during the construction of the Hubertus tunnel in The Hague, Netherlands. The monitoring activities during tunnel...doctoral thesis 2015

Broere, W. (author)Face stability of microtunnelling TBMs is an important aspect for a safe and controlled project execution. Lack of proper face support can lead to sudden collapse with resulting large settlements. Guidelines for minimal and maximal support pressures in most codes do not take the infiltration of bentonite suspension in coarser soils into account....journal article 2014

Festa, D. (author), Broere, W. (author), Bosch, J.W. (author)Constructing tunnels in soft soil with the use of Tunnel Boring Machines may induce settlements including soil movements ahead of the face, soil relaxation into the tail void, possible heave due to grouting, long lasting consolidation processes, and potentially several other mechanisms. A considerable amount of the total soil displacements seems...conference paper 2013

Hoogenboom, P.C.J. (author), Van Weelden, C. (author), Blom, C.M.B. (author)In this paper stress concentrations are studied around circular cylindrical openings or voids in a linear elastic continuum. The loading is such that a uniform shear stress occurs in the continuum, which is disturbed by the opening. The shear stress is in the direction of the centre axis of the opening. The stress distribution has been...journal article 2010
