(author), Hardy, A. (author), Van Bael, M.K. (author), Buskens, P. (author)The switching performance of W/VO2 nanoparticles in thermochromic glass laminates was investigated. W/VO2 powder was prepared, and displayed a phase transition temperature and switching enthalpy of 20.9 °C and 37.5 ± 0.2 J g-1, respectively. Using wet bead milling, the particle size was reduced from 24 ± 2 um to 120 ± 10 nm. In the same process,...article 2023

Walraven, J. (author), Dieteren, G. (author)For the assessment of concrete structures in the new fib Model Code 2020 (fib MC 2020), three categories are distinguished: (1) the residual capacity of existing structures without damage, (2) the residual capacity of structures suffering deterioration, and (3) the residual capacity of structures with noncompliant details.

(author), Farha, O.K. (author)In the case of an incident with nerve agents, the timely and ready detection and identification of such a substance on suspected surfaces is essential. However, the detection of low levels of nerve agents on a surface is a considerable challenge for conventional detection equipment, especially with VX, a highly toxic nerve agent with low...article 2022

li Piani, T. (author), Weerheijm, J. (author), Sluys, L.J. (author)Adobe is a traditional masonry made of sundried earthen bricks and mud mortar. Despite a millennial history of buildings of architectural value, adobe still connotes a so called ‘not engineered’ construction type. Namely, the material and structural properties of adobe are still not entirely addressed, resulting in an equally uncertain normative...article 2022

(author)In the last 15 years semantic 3D city models have seen a steady growth in terms of creation and adoption. Many cities world-wide have now at least one city model which can be used for several applications. Energy- and sustainability-related topics are among those that have experienced a noteworthy increase of interest from the Geomatics...conference paper 2022

(author)The energy transition requires us to explore all options for generating non-fossil energy and offshore floating PV( OFPV) energy is gaining momentum with recent developments quite promising. The trend is to combine small individual floaters into a grid using connectors which can be made reasonably flexible. To address the challenges of offshore...conference paper 2022

(author)Previous studies conducted mainly among adolescents have found associations between participation in sport organised leisure-time activities (OLTAs) and mental health problems (MHP). Fewer research studies have been performed to primary school-aged children and to organised non-sport OLTAs. Therefore, the objective is to examine whether there is...article 2022

Deul, M.L. (author), van Lieshout, P. (author), Werter, N.P.M. (author)An accurate fatigue life prediction is vital for the effectiveness and safety of a ship structure. The fatigue limit state is typically governing and con servatism is included to provide for a safe design. On the other side, minimizing conservatism is favourable, for reasons of cost, stability and payload (i.e. weight). The fatigue life...conference paper 2022

Bronkhorst, A.J. (author), Moretti, D. (author), Geurts, C.P.W. (author)Wind-induced vibrations are an important aspect in high-rise building design. The structural properties that influence vibrations are the mass and stiffness of the building and the foundation. These properties are difficult to predict in the design, resulting in inaccurate predictions of the dynamic response. As a first step towards better...conference paper 2022

(author)This paper proposes an automated approach to predict crack pattern similarities that correlate well with assessment by structural engineers. We use Siamese convolutional neural networks (SCNN) that take two crack pattern images as inputs and output scalar similarity measures. We focus on 2D masonry facades with and without openings. The image...article 2022
