Meek, Maarten (author)To realise more sustainable industrial ground floors the implementation of alkali-activated concrete is considered for jointless elastically supported ground floors. Such floors are realised with large areas without dilations, the shrinkage reduction is therefore restrained causing cracks to arise at the top surface of the floor. The control of...master thesis 2019

Kalff, Helianne (author)Defects that occur on train sets have to be repaired in a repair location and this has consequences on the transportation network. This paper proposes a decision support model that is developed for optimising the decisions of when and where to repair that defect train set. In practice, there is no clear overview of the effects of such decisions...master thesis 2019

van Bergenhenegouwen, Niels (author)In the Netherlands, a lot of traffic congestion occurs on motorways. This problem is most severe nearby larger cities. Utrecht is one of these cities. To improve traffic flow in this area, a huge masterplan is designed by Rijkswaterstaat called “A27/A12 Ring Utrecht”. One part of this masterplan consists of the motorway A27 at Amelisweerd. Here,...master thesis 2019

Leunge, Laurens (author)In the Netherlands, robust dike and dam design is a major concern in the context of flood defence. Due to heterogeneity of the subsoil on which these structures are founded, the validity range of in situ tests decreases drastically. Consequently, large uncertainties regarding spatial variation of soil stratification and soil layer parameters are...master thesis 2019

van Beek, Laura (author)In contemporary society, a large part of the housing stock for people with autism focuses on living with house mates and in-house support (Berger et al., 2005). It seems, through several extensive questionnaires, that 65% of those individuals seek another housing situation, namely independent housing of some sort (Begeer et al., 2013). Design of...master thesis 2019

van der Kemp, Stefhan (author)Passive exoskeletons that support the weight of the surgeon’s arms could yield a significant ergonomic improvement in the Laparoscopic theatre. However, the cost and regulations associated with sterilization complicates adoption of such devices. In this work a compact passive arm support mechanism is designed that can be worn underneath the...master thesis 2018

Spaan, Tessa (author)Aircraft maintenance is inherently unpredictable due to differences in failure rates between components. This results in high variance inflow in repair shops, which in case of insufficient capacity yields long turnaround times and thus the need for additional components in stock. The aim of this research project is to determine the effect of...master thesis 2018
