Workers are an important factor in the implementation of a construction project. Applying ergonomic postures for workers in the projects is necessary to minimize the risk of work accidents and the risk of experiencing musculoskeletal disorders (MsDs). The use of lightweight brick for wall construction …

This study aims to check the performance of two distinct configurations system: a photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) system with an ice buffer storage tank figure [1] and a conventional PV system with an air heat exchanger on the back, figure [3]. The ice buffer storage tank is used to store excess heat from …

Waterschap Scheldestromen is carrying out a particularly innovative project named Multiflexmeter (MFM), of which the objective is to look for ways to measure the soil resistance . This means some properties and characteristics of water needs to be researched on, such as the salinity and the corresponding …

Pavements are used everywhere, and are of a major importance in the infrastructure. However, conditions for which these pavements are designed for and built in are rapidly changing due to climate change. The trends observed in the Netherlands suggest a maximum temperature increase of 3 degrees Celsius …

Dit rapport beschrijft het verbetervoorstel voor het optimaliseren van lasersnijlijn 953 tot het punt dat deze lijn een overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) van 90% behaald. OEE legt In zijn essentie de tijd vast dat het proces daadwerkelijk werk levert in relatie tot dat het proces geen werkt levert. …

Doordat de primaire grondstoffen van de aarde steeds verder uitgeput raken en er steeds meer CO2 in de lucht terecht komt, dient er nagedacht te worden over het gebruik van circulaire materialen die niet verloren gaan als het product gerecycled wordt. Als grote opdrachtgever van infraprojecten heeft …

This report described the whole process of designing an EC meter system in a continuous project: MFM EC meter. From the designing until the testing, detailed explanation about every part will be mentioned. From a view of engineering student, the report starting from introduction of the assignment and …

Engineers design levees without taking into account animal activity. But in reality: *Levees attract burrowing animals *Many of them are protected (e.g. beavers) *It is not always easy to detect burrows and remove them Topics of interest are: 1. Eco engineering approaches for deterrence of animals …

In hybride warmtesystemen werken twee verschillende opwekkers samen. In dit geval een pelletketel en een warmtepomp met buitenluchtunit. De huidige rekenmethode, de NTA 8800, is ongeschikt om deze hybride warmtesystemen goed te berekenen. Dit onderzoek gaat over een aanvullende rekenmethode die daar …
