The Global Commission on Healthy Indoor Air is a transdisciplinary alliance of more than 200 leaders and experts from more than 40 countries across every region of the world. Launched at the United Nations during Climate Week on September 23, 2025, the Commission brings together leaders spanning public …

Due to growing power consumption and the energy transition, installation of high-voltage underground cables (HVUC) is becoming increasingly crucial for increasing transmission capacity while minimising societal and environmental disruption. This thesis, completed in a professional setting at Witteveen+Bos, …

This thesis consists of developing two jet grouting models through the programme PLAXIS, where the conventional method is compared to the innovative lamella method; with the purpose of finding which one is more suitable to reduce settlements in real life. These are then compared with real life data obtained …

Bij het ontwerpen van funderingen met de software Technosoft, kan een sondering worden geïnterpreteerd tot een bodemprofiel met verschillende grondsoorten. In Technosoft zijn 6 verschillende sonderingsinterpretatiemethoden beschikbaar. Voor de keuze van deze interpretatiemethode zijn echter geen richtlijnen, …

The proposed research examines the international practicality of a large industrial production hall which is under development by GBS Plovdiv AD in Industrial Park Shumen, Bulgaria. The main goal is to evaluate whether the current technical design may be applied in different European regulatory and environmental …

Binnen Waterschap Scheldestromen komen jaarlijks grote hoeveelheden baggerspecie en freesasfalt vrij bij onderhoudswerkzaamheden. Deze materialen worden momenteel slechts beperkt hergebruikt, terwijl binnen de dijkversterkingsopgave in de Zak van Zuid-Beveland een grote behoefte bestaat aan grond- en …

Veel bestaande metselwerkboogbruggen zijn gebouwd in een periode waarin ontwerpgegevens beperkt werden vastgelegd of later verloren zijn gegaan. Toch moeten deze bruggen tegenwoordig worden beoordeeld op constructieve veiligheid, terwijl het verkeer zwaarder is geworden dan in de oorspronkelijke gebruikssituatie. …

This study evaluated the feasibility of a buoyant V-block closure joint for application within the Fraser River Tunnel Project and compared its performance against alternative closure joint concepts. The results demonstrate that the buoyant V-block is a technically feasible closure joint solution under …

Many modern unitised façades rely on structural sealant glazing (SSG) to accommodate building drift and slab deflection. However, when hung-and-sworded panels undergo racking, the resulting shear strains expose limitations in current design workflows. While it is common practice to use simplified linear …

This thesis investigates the structural feasibility of a vertical extension on an existing former industrial building located in Eltville am Rhein, Germany. The case study focuses on a former cocoa factory constructed in the 1960s, which was later partially converted into residential use. Due to the …
