Kasteel Oud-Poelgeest is an estate which consists of two different buildings, one of them is a castle and the other one is the coach house. It is a congress-hotel, with 15 meeting rooms and 45 hotel rooms. The director of Kasteel Oud-Poelgeest finds it really important to focus on the guest to see what …

The shallow subsurface in historic cities often contains extensive archaeological remains, also known as cultural deposits. Preservation conditions for naturally degradable archaeological remains are strongly dependent on the presence or absence of groundwater. One of the main goals at such heritage …

The economic recession has hit especially hard the residential building sector in the EU region, e.g., the number of the housing completions has decreased -49% and the total residential output has been squeezed down by -24% between 2007 and 2014 (Euroconstruct, 2015). In turn, the aim of our paper is …

Because local weather conditions in moderate climates are changing constantly, heat transfer specifications of substrate and vegetation in vegetated green roofs also change accordingly. Nevertheless, it is assumed that vegetated green roofs can have a positive effect on the thermal performance of construction …

This paper investigates the limits and efficacies of the Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) material for strengthening mid-rise RC buildings against seismic actions. Turkey, the region of the highest seismic risk in Europe, is chosen as the case-study country, the building stock of which consists in its …

Author supplied: "This paper gives a linearised adjustment model for the affine, similarity and congruence transformations in 3D that is easily extendable with other parameters to describe deformations. The model considers all coordinates stochastic. Full positive semi-definite covariance matrices and …

Both inhabitants and tourists of Ameland are in need for a new entry to the island. The lack of quality and adaptability of the current entry from the Wadden Sea makes separation between freight and passenger flows to and from the island necessary. The demand for aanew harbour creates new opportunities. …

Coupling beams between shear walls are one of the key elements for energy dissipation in tall buildings. A representative mathematical model of coupling beam should represent flexure, shear and interface slip/extension mechanisms simultaneously. This goal can be achieved by using either detailed finite …

Presentatie over de DuMo methode, gehouden op conferentie in Trondheim.

In dit afstudeerrapport is gepoogd antwoord te krijgen op de vraag hoe innovaties om bodemdaling in het Groene Hart te reduceren in gang kunnen worden gezet. In het onderzoek is gekeken naar de mogelijkheden die er zijn om innovaties die als doel hebben de bodemdaling in het veenweidegebied te reduceren, …
