Inleiding: Uit wetenschappelijk onderzoek blijkt dat er variatie bestaat in de interne belasting die voetbalspelers ervaren, zelfs bij een gelijke externe belasting(Castagna et al., 2011). De fysieke capaciteiten van professionele voetballers kunnen hier invloed op hebben (Rabbani, et al., 2021). Dit …

Sterke buikspieren spelen een cruciale rol bij rompstabilisatie en het verminderen van lumbale stress, wat essentieel is voor sportprestaties en blessurepreventie. Bovendien is gesuggereerd dat asymmetrie in spieromvang van de rectus abdominis blessurerisico kan vergroten. Het verminderen van deze asymmetrie …

Out-of-plane (OOP) wall collapse is one of the most common failure mechanisms in unreinforced masonry (URM) structures. Insufficient connections at wall-to-wall, wall-to-floor or wall-to-roof levels are one of the main reasons for OOP failures. The seismic assessment of URM buildings with insufficient …

The seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings with cavity walls is a relevant issue in many countries, such as in Central and Northern Europe, Australia, New Zealand, China and several other countries. A cavity wall consists of two separate parallel masonry walls (called leaves) connected …

The outcome of a series of tests performed on as-built and strengthened timber-joist cavity-wall specimens at Building was presented.

In recent years, the number of human-induced earthquakes in Groningen, a large gas field in the north of the Netherlands, has increased. The majority of the buildings are built by using unreinforced masonry (URM), most of which consists of cavity (i.e. two-leaf) walls, and were not designed to withstand …

The assessment of the out-of-plane response of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings with cavity walls has been a popular topic in regions such as Central and Northern Europe, Australia, New Zealand, China and several other countries. Cavity walls are particularly vulnerable as the out-of-plane capacity …
