Poliotti, M. (author), Yang, Y. (author), De Boer, Ane (author)In old Dutch inner cities like Amsterdam a large number of steel-concrete bridge decks built between 1880 and 1960 remain in service nowadays and currently need assessment of their bearing capacity. A significant number of these decks were designed without any mechanical connectors like shear studs in the interface between concrete and steel....conference paper 2023

Kavoura, Dr. Florentia (author), Veljkovic, M. (author)The demountable and reusable steel-concrete composite structures contribute immensely at the sustainable development in construction. The main technical practice which allows for demountability and reusability is the use of demountable shear connectors in their floor systems. These demountable shear connectors can satisfy the need for composite...conference paper 2022

Olivier, G. (author), Csillag, Fruzsina (author), Tromp, Liesbeth (author), Veltkamp, Martijn (author), Pavlovic, M. (author)Due to the low weight and excellent durability of composite materials, Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) decks mounted on steel superstructures are becoming all the more common in engineering practice. Bolted joints are generally used to facilitate connections between an FRP deck and steel girders in road bridges. The connections are subjected...conference paper 2022

Kortendijk, C.N. (author), Besseling, Floris (author), Jolink, Chris (author), Lourens, E. (author)When employing vibration-based damage detection methods for monitoring the structural health of bridges, it is often possible to increase damage feature sensitivity by focusing on local as opposed to global vibrations. This heightened sensitivity, however, comes at a cost: by moving towards the higher frequency ranges and more local behavior,...conference paper 2021

Sagar, S. (author), Popovich, V. (author), Kömmelt, Pascal (author), Dey, P. (author)Controlling the detrimental effect of hydrogen on the mechanical behaviour of advanced high strength steels is decisive for their application. Precipitates in steels can be useful in irreversibly trapping the hydrogen atoms, thereby preventing their diffusion to critical regions in the microstructure where they can be most detrimental. In...conference paper 2021

Walters, C.L. (author), Coppejans, Okko J. (author), Hoogeland, Martijn (author)In a prior project, TNO has presented a low-cost way of finding fracture toughness of base materials for cleavage fracture. That method features a small-scale CTOD specimen, combined with simplified sensors, less fatigue pre-cracking, faster testing, and no need for a temperature chamber. This method has been extended to welds by considering...conference paper 2021

Boot, T. (author), Riemslag, A.C. (author), Reinton, T.E. (author), Liu, Ping (author), Walters, C.L. (author), Popovich, V. (author)With fossil fuels being phased out and growing global interest in a hydrogen economy, there is demand for re-purposing existing pipelines for transportation of hydrogen gas. However, hydrogen embrittlement (HE) can limit pipeline steel’s performance. In this study, the effect of hydrogen on the mechanical properties of an X60 base metal ...conference paper 2021

Csillag, Fruzsina (author), Thie, Edwin (author), Pavlovic, M. (author)Demountable connectors have been rarely applied in steel-FRP hybrid structures due to the lack of research, which could prove their reliable structural performance. In typical applications, e.g. in multi-girder hybrid decks, the connectors are not only subjected to longitudinal shear forces, but also to substantial tensile forces originated...conference paper 2019

Nijgh, M.P. (author), Xin, H. (author), Veljkovic, M. (author)This paper illustrates the most recent developments in the field of injected bolted connections. A novel injection material, steel-reinforced resin, is used to enhance stiffness of resin-injected bolted shear connections. The main goal is to achieve the slip resistance connection in a clearance holes without pre-tensioning of bolts. Steel...conference paper 2019

Abad, Belkis Filian (author), Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), Yang, Y. (author)The Critical Shear Displacement Theory (CSDT) was developed to determine the shear capacity of reinforced concrete beams based on the different shear-carrying mechanisms (concrete in the compression zone, aggregate interlock, and dowel action). This research aims at extending the CSDT to Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) by adding the...conference paper 2019

(author)Advanced high strength steels (AHSS) are increasingly used in automotive industry; thousands of resistance spot welds are applied to car body-in-white. High alloying levels of AHSS result in lower weldability. Residual stresses play an essential role on the formation of defects and the mechanical performance of the weld.

Di Pietro, P. (author)Recent studies show an increase in the population of beavers, nutria and other rodents in vast regions of central Europe over the last 15 years. Unfortunately, this caused in many instances considerable damage on large rivers along dykes and earthworks in the floodplain areas, leading to an increased risk of bank failures. However, most of these...conference paper 2017
