Li, C. (author), Mogollón, J.M. (author), Tukker, A. (author), Dong, J. (author), von Terzi, D. (author), Zhang, C. (author), Steubing, B. (author)Offshore wind energy (OWE) is a cornerstone of future clean energy development. Yet, research into global OWE material demand has generally been limited to few materials and/or low technological resolution. In this study, we assess the primary raw material demand and secondary material supply of global OWE. It includes a wide assortment of...article 2022

Mulder, P. (author), Boonman, H. (author), Sterkenburg, R. (author)Het plaatsen van meer windturbines op land is een belangrijk onderdeel van de strategie om de klimaatdoelstellingen in Nederland te halen. Maar windturbines geven overlast door geluid en slagschaduw en hebben impact op het landschapsbeeld. Deze ‘externe effecten’ van windturbines op hun directe omgeving hebben een aantoonbaar negatief effect op...report 2022

Leal Pérez, B.J. (author), Medrano Jiménez, J.A. (author), Bhardwaj, R. (author), Goetheer, E.L.V. (author), van Sint Annaland, M. (author), Gallucci, F. (author)Nowadays, nearly 50% of the hydrogen produced worldwide comes from Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) at an environmental burden of 10.tCO2,eq/tH2 accelerating the consequences of global warming. One way to produce clean hydrogen is via methane pyrolysis using melts of metals and salts. Compared to SMR, significant less CO2 is produced due to...article 2021

Engen, M. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author), Monti, G. (author), Allaix, D.L. (author)When non-linear finite element analyses are used in design of new or assessment of existing concrete structures, one should account for the modelling uncertainty before conclusions are drawn based on the results. The present article describes the basis for how this topic is treated in the draft of fib Model Code 2020. There are two components of...article 2021

Hansen, S.G. (author), Meinen, N.E. (author), Jørgensen, H.B. (author)Assessment of the load‐carrying capacity of existing concrete structures is often based on the concrete compressive strength obtained from drilled cores. These cores are typically drilled perpendicular to the concrete surface, under the assumption that the mechanical properties of the concrete are isotropic. Recent studies however showed that...conference paper 2019

Vervuurt, A. (author), Courage, W. (author), Steenbergen, R. (author)For the assessment of the in situ compressive strength in structures and precast concrete components EN 13791 applies. Among others, this standard may be adopted when doubt arises about the compressive strength in the structure. However, for assessing the structural safety of existing structures of many years of age, the method given in EN 13791...conference paper 2013
