Nijland, T.G. (author), Dubelaar, C.W. (author), Dusar, M. (author)Waar de rest van Nederland altijd zijn toevlucht heeft moeten nemen tot import van natuursteen om te kunnen bouwen, heeft Zuid-Limburg, net als aangrenzend België en Duitsland, altijd de beschikking gehad over lokale natuursteen, al betekent dat niet dat er geen sprake was van import van elders. Namense steen (Maaskalksteen) is prominenter...bookPart 2017

Bronkhorst, A.J. (author), van Bentum, C.A. (author), Geurts, C.P.W. (author)In recent years, the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to evaluate flow fields has become more popular in various branches of industry. In building design, there is a similar trend towards the increasing use of CFD. There are several guidelines for CFD analysis of flows in the urban environment, e.g. [1-4]. For assessment of wind speed...conference paper 2017

Nijland, T.G. (author), van den Heuvel, J. (author)Met de ontwikkeling van het Europese spoorwegnet komen nieuwe stenen de architec-tuur in, zowel bij nieuwbouw als restauratie. Bekend zijn de Franse kalkstenen en de Beierse granieten. Minder bekend zijn stenen uit bijvoorbeeld Saksen, zoals de Beucha, Li juner en Rochlitzer porfieren. Toch is de Beucha porfier aan gebouwen uit het Inter-bellum...article 2017

Granneman, S.J.C. (author), Shahidzadeh, N. (author), Lubelli, B.A. (author), van Hees, R.P.J. (author)Borax has been identified as a possible crystallization modifier for sodium sulfate. Understanding the effect of borax on factors influencing transport and crystallization kinetics of sodium sulfate helps to clarify how this modifier might limit crystallization damage. It has been observed that the addition of borax to sodium sulfate solutions...article 2017

Leonetti, D. (author), Hashemi, B. (author), Allaix, D.L. (author), Maljaars, J. (author)This paper investigates the differences in the predicted fatigue life of transverse butt weld joints and cover-plated beams considering statistically based fitting methods on fatigue test data and comparing the results with the S-N relation proposed in international standards. The test data fitting are performed by employing the Least Square...conference paper 2017

Ritzen, M.J. (author), Vroon, Z.A.E.P. (author), Rovers, R. (author), Lupíšek, A. (author), Geurts, C.P.W. (author)Building Integrated PV (BIPV) is considered as a key development for successful deployment of PV in the built environment. However, the effect of PV integration on environmental impact is not fully understood. In this study a single indicator for environmental impact assessment of BIPV is investigated in the Netherlands. A BIPV rooftop with 24...article 2017

Voormeeren, L.O. (author), van der Meer, F.P. (author), Maljaars, J. (author), Sluys, L.J. (author)The last decade has seen a growing interest in cohesive zone models for fatigue applications. These cohesive zone models often suffer from a lack of generality and applying them typically requires calibrating a large number of model-specific parameters. To improve on these issues a new method has been proposed in this paper based on the Thick...article 2017

Geurts, C.P.W. (author), Bronkhorst, A.J. (author), van Bentum, C.A. (author), Hielema, J. (author)An investigation is presented to determine the wind loads on external solar blinds on two 60 m high towers. This investigation was performed some years after the construction of the towers, with the sun blinds in place. A combination of wind tunnel tests and full scale measurements was done. The shape of the towers, and the unique design of the...conference paper 2017

Dieteren, G. (author), Bigaj-van Vliet, A.J. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Sangers, A. (author)In-situ load testing of reinforced concrete (RC) structures is often performed to confirm the presence of the required resistance for the intended use (Conformity Load Testing) or to support the assessments of the residual capacity by models (Supplementary Load Testing for Condition Assessment). When performing an in-situ load test, one of the...conference paper 2017

Such an indicator can assist counteracting short term views in network level asset management decision making. Short-termism or myopia may occur in cases where service level...conference paper 2017

Slobbe, A. (author), Allaix, D.L. (author), Yang, Y. (author)Different analytical models exist to predict the shear strength of reinforced concrete members. Generally, each of these shear strength models consists of a formulation based on certain underlying theory and fitted model coefficients. The model fitting parameters are usually established from the comparison with test data. Hence, the predictive...conference paper 2017

Polder, R.B. (author), Boutz, M.M.R. (author), Ottelé, M. (author)Asset managers would benefit from knowing when to expect corrosion initiation in a particular reinforced concrete structure. However, accepted approaches to test existing structures for the remaining time to corrosion initiation are lacking. This paper proposes such an approach, based on experience in the field and additional considerations....conference paper 2017

Slobbe, A. (author), Allaix, D.L. (author), Courage, W. (author), van Vliet, A.B. (author)The accuracy of predictions of structural behavior by finite element analysis strongly depends on the formulation of the numerical model. Depending on the problem at hand, the analyst has to make a number of choices, which influence the numerical results to a greater or lesser extent. For complex cases, e.g. existing reinforced concrete...conference paper 2017
