Paulissen, J.H. (author), van Es, S.H.J. (author), Peelen, W.H.A. (author), Klatter, H.E. (author)In this paper the budget prognosis and the technical end of service life issues of the transport infrastructure replacement program of Rijkswaterstaat are introduced. Furthermore the technical information required to execute the program in a cost-effective way while keeping the infrastructure safe and available is discussed. For fatigue and...conference paper 2019

Polder, R.B. (author), van Put, M. (author), Peelen, W.H.A. (author)Testing for the chloride threshold (also called critical chloride content) for corrosion initiation of steel in concrete has been found difficult and, at best, time consuming. Nevertheless, the chloride threshold is an important parameter in service life design of new structures and for evaluation of the remaining service life of existing...conference paper 2017

Luiten, G.T. (author), Peelen, W.H.A. (author), Vega, E. (author)Het aantal projecten in de civiele infrastructuur waarin het gedrag van constructies gemonitord wordt, groeit langzaam maar zeker. Dit zijn echter nog vaak unieke projecten, gebaseerd op het enthousiasme van pioniers in hun organisatie. Het is voor de meeste organisaties nog onduidelijk of monitoren voldoende toegevoegde waarde heeft en hoe ze...article 2017

Peelen, W.H.A. (author), Vervuurt, A.H.J.M. (author)Modular expansion joints constitute a substantial part of direct and indirect costs of bridge maintenance. Joint condition assessments can be improved to predict or detect damages earlier. In this way the probability for consequential damages such as emergency repair and a shortened lifespan is reduced. Maintenance can be planned well in advance...conference paper 2017

Luiten, G.T. (author), Peelen, W.H.A. (author), Drieman, R. (author)The number of monitoring pilots in Dutch civil infrastructure with sensing systems is increasing only slowly over the last decade. To identify and help understand barriers for wider implementation of moni-toring systems, SBRCURnet-committee 1992 analysed 13 monitoring pilots. The committee consisted of 16 Dutch infrastructure owners,...conference paper 2016

Polder, R.B. (author), Angst, U.M. (author), Pacheco, J. (author), Peelen, W.H.A. (author)Where exposed to an aggressive environment, concrete structures will develop reinforcement corrosion at some point in their life. Chloride ions from de-icing salt or sea water induce pitting corrosion. Local cross section reduction may occur relatively quickly and expansion due to corrosion products precipitating may crack and spall concrete...conference paper 2016

Pahlavan, P.L. (author), Pijpers, R.J.M. (author), Hakkesteegt, H.C. (author), Jansen, T.H. (author), Peelen, W.H.A. (author)Fatigue, as the governing degradation mechanism in steel bridge decks, can lead to non-inspectable cracks under the welded intersections of stiffeners to the deck plate. As a result, estimation of the remaining service life and optimization of the maintenance program of steel bridge decks become a great challenge. A comprehensive structural...conference paper 2015

Polder, R.B. (author), Peelen, W.H.A. (author)This paper reviews 25 years of experience with cathodic protection of steel in concrete in The Netherlands. Three phases have passed from the late 1980s until present: pioneering, development and maturity. In the first period CP was mainly applied to precast elements corroding due to mixed in chlorides. The parties involved worked together to...bookPart 2014

Polder, R.B. (author), Peelen, W.H.A. (author), Raupach, M. (author), Reichling, K. (author)This paper investigates the economic effects of full corrosion surveys of concrete structures. The background is that the existing concrete infrastructure is aging, while being exposed to aggressive influences, which increases the occurrence of corrosion and related concrete damage over time. The central proposition is that solely relying on...article 2013

Zuada Coelho, B.A. (author), Vervuurt, A.H.J.M. (author), Peelen, W.H.A. (author), Leendertz, J.S. (author)Modular expansion joints are structures that are submitted to severe fatigue load conditions. This may lead to unexpected premature damage of the structure which, besides the economic cost of repair, may limit the regular service of the bridge. To better understand the dynamic behaviour of modular expansion joints, different over rolling tests...article 2013

Due to the age distribution and in particular the relatively short life of conventional repairs, the need for maintenance will increase steeply over the next few decades....article 2012

(author)Steel structures near DC powered railways are expected to be affected by stray current interference. This causes accelerated corrosion rates. Therefore steel is often not used as a building material in these cases, although certain advantages over the alternative material concrete exist. These advantages can include amongst others costs, shorter...article 2011
