van der Wiel, W.D. (author), Klanker, G. (author), Klerk, W.J. (author), Persoon, E. (author), Wessels, J. (author), de Wit, A. (author)Many of the Dutch movable hydraulic structures are exceeding lifetime expectancy based on the then-current standards and regulations. Also signs of ageing become apparent, regulations (e.g. about structural safety) get more and more strict and functional requirements have often increased over time due to climate change and socio-economic...conference paper 2017

Kentrop, J. (author), Lassing-van der spek, B.L. (author), Voorendt, M. (author)Kenmerkend voor de polders in Nederland zijn de vele waterkerin-gen die zorgen voor een fysieke scheiding tussen land en water. Aangezien men vanuit de polder tegen deze waterkeringen aan kijkt ontstaat er echter ook een visuele scheiding. Kunstenaar Paul Izeboud kwam op het idee om deze visuele scheiding op te heffen door middel van een...article 2017

Abspoel, L.M. (author), Courage, W.M.G. (author), van den Broeck, W. (author), Kruse, H. (author)Pipeline networks for gas and water are the lifelines of our society. Their presence and correct functioning translates in benefits and any disruption, malfunctioning or ruptures represent hazards for the community. Most pipelines are buried, which impedes direct monitoring of the structural reliability of the networks. The behavior of the soil...conference paper 2017

Donkers, P.A.J. (author), Pel, L. (author), Adan, O.C.G. (author)For heat/cold storage systems a granular bed of salt hydrates is studied during dehydration/hydration. The water density in these beds are measured with help of NMR. Diffusion based dehydration of a granular bed of Na2SO4·10H2O is shown to be internally limited as larger grains dehydrate faster than smaller grains as result of cooling of the...article 2017

Gómez, S.S. (author), Metrekine, A. (author)The aim of this paper is to identify the local energy dissipation in a lab-scale structure by means of the energy flow analysis. In most of the existing approaches the damping is identified either in terms of the modal damping factors or at the material scale. In this paper, an alternative method to these global and material-based approaches by...conference paper 2017

Sleiman, H.A. (author), Hempel, S. (author), Traversari, A.A.L. (author), Bruinenberg, S. (author)Energy efficiency in buildings is one of the main goals of many governmental policies due to their high impact on the carbon dioxide emissions in Europe. One of these targets is to reduce the energy consumption in healthcare buildings, which are known to be among the most energy-demanding building types. Although design decisions made at early...article 2017

Nijland, T.G. (author), van Hees, R.P.J. (author)Occasionally, a profound but distant connection between volcanos and culture exists. This is the case for the volcanic Eifel region in Germany and historic construction in the Netherlands, with the river Rhine as physical and enabling connection. Volcanic tuff from the Eifel comprises a significant amount of the building mass in Dutch built...conference paper 2017

Nijland, T.G. (author), van Hees, R.P.J. (author)Volcanic tuffstone from the Eifel region, Germany, is one of the most important kinds of natural stone used in the Netherlands. These tuffs have, albeit with several hiatuses, been used since Roman times. At several places, original Medieval stones are still present. That does not imply that the stone is completely resistant to weathering: ' The...conference paper 2017

Allaix, D.L. (author), Geurts, C.P.W. (author)Several design guidelines and codes [1-5] prescribe limit values for the intensity of different types of vibrations. Even though it is possible to find some background documents of those guidelines [6], to the best knowledge of the authors of this report, the limit values are based on experience. Despite the fact that some guidelines [2-3]...report 2017
