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 …

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 …

Critical materials are economically important raw materials with high supply risk. They are widely used in electronic components, batteries, sensors and drone-related systems. For Europe, access to these materials is a strategic issue because many of them are not sufficiently available within the European …

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 …

Hospitality and air transport are closely connected, and any disruption in the air transport network will have an impact on airport hotels. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is becoming more and more constrained due to flight limitations, regulatory pressure, and disruptions. Hyatt Place Amsterdam Airport, …

This thesis introduces a cost-effective methodology for estimating tire contact patch forces and moments at wheel centre using axial force measurements from suspension linkages. The primary aim is to reconstruct these dynamic quantities, eliminating reliance on expensive wheel force transducers (WFTs) …

This thesis investigates the restoration and structural reinforcement of a historically protected 19th-century residential building on the island of Hydra, Greece. Undertaken within the strict constraints of Greek heritage law (ΦΕΚ 594Δ/1978), the project aims to enhance structural safety and environmental …

By combining immersive audio elements with the visual assets of the narrative-driven horror game andquot;Shadow of Singraven,andquot;. This thesis investigates how sound design can be developed to improve player immersion. Using reference games and horror movies analysis to guide design decisions, the …
