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 …

The seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings with cavity walls is of high relevance in regions such as in Central and Northern Europe, Australia, New Zealand and China because of the characteristics of the masonry building stock. A cavity wall consists of two separate parallel walls …

Presentation of findings to the 'Nationaal Coördinator Groningen'

Once a year every TU Delft doctoral candidate meets with their supervisor(s) to formally discuss their performance and progress over the past year. The PhD candidate and supervisor(s) agree on goals and strategies for the coming year. The goal of this meeting with your supervisors is to reflect on your …

During this workshop, the European project PROGETONE (https://www.progetone.eu/project/) was presented. With my colleagues we had the chance to display our testing premises and our research scope to the visitors of the workshop.

Theoretical works in occupational therapy and occupational science have explored the refugee experience through an occupational lens, and explored the potential for occupational therapy in this field. Currently, there exists a lack of literature which includes refugees in these explorations. Recognising …
