Surface consolidation is a common practice in the conservation of the built heritage. However, the effectiveness of consolidation of calcareous materials is often doubtful, due to the lack of effective and compatible consolidation products. Dispersions of calcium hydroxide nanoparticles in alcohol, the so-called nanolimes, can recover the...

Modeling the stochastic evolution of a large-scale fleet or network generally proves to be challenging. This difficulty may be compounded through complex relationships between various assets in the network. Although a great number of probabilistic graph-based models (e.g., Bayesian networks) have been developed recently to describe the behavior...

The KGO mixing method was developed 40 years ago. Instead of adding the bitumen at the end of the mixing cycle, the bitumen was poured down first together with the larger aggregates. After mixing the bitumen with the larger aggregates, the reamining aggregates were mixed down. As benefits of the KGO method were mentioned improving the...

Wind loads are responsible for a large amount of damage to greenhouses, and are therefore an important factor in the structural design of greenhouses. Previous wind load studies on greenhouses [1-8], have only investigated wind loads on the first 9 roof spans. However, most greenhouses are much larger than 10 roof spans. For these larger...

Voor de bevestiging van dakbedekkingen worden in Nederland specifieke rekenregels gegeven via NEN 6707 en NPR 6708. Dit betreft zowel de regels voor de bepaling van de windbelasting als methodes om de sterkte te bepalen. Deze regels zijn voor zowel hellende als platte daken afgeleid uit resultaten van onderzoek dat in de laatste decennia in...

Two modified Mg-Al hydrotalcites (MHTs), (MHT-pAB and MHT-NO2) were incorporated into mortar (with different w/c ratios) in two different ways: (1) as one of the mixing components in bulk mortar; (2) as part of cement paste coating of the reinforcing steel. Accelerated chloride migration, cyclic wetting-drying and diffusion tests were performed...

For many concrete infrastructural works a service life of 80, 100 or 200 years is required. To convince owners and authorities that these requirements can be met probability-based models for service life predictions have been developed. These models are based on theoretical and experimental laboratory studies. Many of these models focus on the...

Especially in airtight low energy dwellings exhaust systems are of utmost importance as cooking can be a major source of PM2.5 exposure. Dwellings should be designed including facilities enabling extraction of at least 83 dm3/s (300 m3/h) directly to outside. Residents should be able to select an effective hood

De Noordersluis bij IJmuiden is één van de grote infrastructurele werken in vooroorlogs Nederland, uitgevoerd in beton (Fig. 1). De bouw van de nieuwe sluis was onderdeel van een reeks verbeteringen aan het Noordzeekanaal: In 1909 was een staatscommissie ingesteld '(om)dat opnieuw de vraag rees of de belangen van Nederland in het algemeen en van...

In design against fatigue, a lower bound stress range vs. endurance curve (S-N curve) is employed to characterize fatigue resistance of plain material and structural details. With respect to the inherent variability of the fatigue life, the S-N curve is related to a certain probability of exceedance, a percentile of the fatigue life. This paper...

Clause 6.2 of EN 1993-1-1 covers the cross-sectional resistance of steel sections. The bending-shear interaction design rules for I-shaped cross-sections make use of a reduced yield stress for the web area. On this basis, a reduced design plastic resistance moment allowing for the shear force is presented. The effect of shear on the bending...

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...

In the Netherlands civil engineering structures, such as overpasses, bridges and tunnels are generally built using blast furnace slag cement (BFSC, CEM III/B) concrete, because of its high resistance against chloride penetration. Although the Dutch experience regarding durability performance of BFSC concrete has been remarkably good, its...

The wind loads on solar energy systems are crucial for the engineering of the panels, substructure and fixings. There is a demand for aesthetically more acceptable solutions such as frameless solar systems. For these frameless systems, the wind loads are carried by the panels themselves. Combined with the increase in the size of photovoltaic (PV...

Quality control during the construction process is one of the determining factors that governs the service life of an asphalt road. In CONSISTEND a predictive tool is developed that objectively determines the effect of quality control during the construction processes on the life span of surface courses of asphalt roads. The tool predicts the...

Owing to the unique molecular structure and high ion exchange capacity, hydrotalcites are believed to have a potential to be modified and tailor-made as an active corrosion protective component of reinforced concrete. In this paper, two types of modified hydrotalcites (MHT-pAB and MHT-NO2) were tested both in alkaline solution and mortar for...

The currently available treatment techniques for concrete structures affected by alkali-silica reaction (ASR) are limited and electrochemical lithium migration has been proposed as an alternative. Lithium compounds have shown to have beneficial effects on ASR expansion when used as admixtures to fresh concrete. During the electrochemical...

Reliability analysis is a crucial phase in assessing the safety status of new and existing structures. One of its applications is to predict the fatigue life of fatigue prone details. Two models are used to formulate the fatigue limit state: S-N curves in combination with Palmgren-Miner damage accumulation rule and linear elastic fracture...
