Maljaars, J. (author), Soetens, F. (author), Katgerman, L. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)An existing constitutive model for creep, developed by Dorn and Harmathy, is modified in order to be used for fire-exposed aluminum alloys. Two alloys, 5083-O/H111 and 6060-T66, are selected for the development of this constitutive model because of their different behavior at elevated temperature and their frequent application in structures for...article 2008

Maljaars, J. (author), Soetens, F. (author), de Kluyver, D. (author), TNO Bouw (author)The last decades have shown a large increase in the application of aluminium alloys for light-weight bridges. For bridge construction, aluminium alloys have some specific advantages, but also some points of attention. This paper deals with some recent projects of aluminium bridges, and for these projects it is shown how the advantages of...conference paper 2008

Maljaars, J. (author), Soetens, F. (author), TNO Bouw (author)There is a tendency to use aluminium as structural material in heavily loaded structures. In a number of these structures, the resistance to fire should be considered in the structural design. Because of the low melting temperature of aluminium, aluminium structures are sensitive to fire and extra attention of the designer is required in this...conference paper 2007

Wentzel, C.M. (author), van de Kasteele, R.M. (author), Soetens, F. (author), TNO Bouw (author)Damage Tolerance of aircraft fuselage structures has a strong link to explosion resistance. Though accidental explosions can and do occur, intentional explosions are more common as the terrorist threat increases. Structural toughness is as welcome in these scenarios as it is under penetration of non contained engine debris. Guidelines in...conference paper 2007

Maljaars, J. (author), Soetens, F. (author), Burggraaf, H.G. (author), TNO Bouw (author)This paper describes the design of the aluminium structure of a bicycle path which is mounted on an existing steel brige. The benefits of aluminium, being low self weight, freedom in design obtained by extrusion and good corrosion resistance were maximal utilized. One of the main drawbacks of aluminium, being the low modulus of elasticity,...conference paper 2007

(author)The in-plane stiffness of glass panes can be mobilized to stabilize a steel framework e.g. in a façade. The brittle glass pane has to be structurally bonded to the framework and a circumferentially glued joint is then an appropriate technique. The joint type and adhesive determine the stress distribution in the pane and the horizontal...article 2007

Maljaars, J. (author), Soetens, F. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)because aluminium is sensitive to elevated temperatures, considerable attention is required on the fire design of aluminium structures. In this respect, the heating of aluminium is evaluated as well as the structural response when exposed to fire. It shown that the application of advanced models in the design results in more optimal designsconference paper 2006

Door de lage smelttemperatuur van aluminium vraagt brand de nodige aandacht in het ontwerp. Er is echter weinig onderzoek...public lecture 2006

TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author), Mennink, J. (author), Soetens, F. (author), Snijder, H.H. (author)Aluminium extrusions applied in daily practice are often thin-walled with complex cross-sectional shapes. These shapes are based on a variety of demands that are in general non-structural. As a result, several types of instability may occur, including overall and cross-sectional instability modes as well as mode interactions. Research on overall...article 2005

TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author), Maljaars, J. (author), Soetens, F. (author), van Straalen, IJ.J. (author)Traffic bridges are subjected to variable loads and should therefore be checked on fatigue. Especially low weight materials, like aluminium, are sensitive to fatigue, because the variable load is a substantial part of the total load. This paper shows the structural design of an aluminium bridge loaded by heavy traffic. The S-N curves of a welded...article 2005
