Tijdens het Climate Café spraken diverse sprekers over de effecten van klimaatverandering op erfgoed zoals het landschap, archeologie en monumenten. In het middagprogramma werden de deelnemers begeleid bij activiteiten om metingen en een opname te verrichten.

Manual crack inspection is labor-intensive and impractical at scale, prompting a shift toward AI-based segmentation methods. We present a novel crack segmentation model that leverages the Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM 2) through transfer learning to detect cracks on masonry surfaces. Unlike prior approaches …

Utterances: Composing a Care- Informed Artistic Research Practice in the Cracks is a humble offering towards an alternative research practice that is guided by an ethics of care. It is an offering coaxed out of the side notes and the whispers of the Promiscuous Care Study Group, a collective formed within …

Out-of-plane (OOP) collapse is one of the most observed damage types in masonry structures during strong earthquakes. OOP strength of a masonry wall depends on several parameters such as the dimensions of the wall, vertical restoring force, boundary conditions and material properties, which are parameters …

This study explores the effect of precipitation, evaporation, animal burrowing and the changing climate on the permeability of the clay cover layer on a dike. It also showcases the possibility of utilizing finite difference flow models, such as MODFLOW, for the simulation of various environmental impacts …

''Heritage buildings are often subjected to loading conditions that they were not exposed to in their earlier life span. Induced earthquakes in non-seismic regions caused by energy exploitation activities, or strains in the ground that are caused by the climate changes, are new phenomena that alter the …

Most world governments are concerned with waste disposal. The large accumulation of these waste items is causing environmental and monetary issues. According to (Awuchi, 2019), the predicted average daily production of plastic waste is 15.4 billion pieces. Plastic waste is the most prevalent form of …

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 …

This paper presents a proof of concept for monitoring masonry structures using two different types of markers which are not easily noticeable by human eye but exhibit high reflection when subjected to NIR (near-infrared) wavelength of light. The first type is a retroreflective marker covered by a special …

Presentation on the "Damage assessment of masonry structures" at the course Bevingsschade en herstel (Earthquake Damage and Repairs) by HanzePro. The research work on monitoring of monuments such as Fraeylemaborg was discussed; Structural Health Monitoring allows us to take better informed decisions …
