Due to lack of proper stormwater drainage in the Waymouth Hills, stormwater runoff have often caused undermining of the road infrastructure and disrupting traffic flow in the study area. Sediments are often deposited to the low-lying terrain from the runoff and this reduces the storm drains capacity …

There are a lot of problems associated with clayey soil. More geotechnical pathologies appeared as more developed project brighten up. The geotechnical engineers encounter problems with modelling the stiff clayey soil behaviour especially while using the classical methods for obtaining the input parameters …

Door de opstelling van strengere Marpol Annex VI eisen zoeken producenten naar oplossingen om hun motoren aan deze eisen te laten voldoen. Een optie die steeds meer in populariteit toeneemt, is het varen op LNG. Het aanpassen van een dergelijk systeem kan een invloed hebben aan boord, dit zowel op het …

In the aviation sector, the variability in the appreciation of safety risk perception factors and responses to risk behaviours has not been sufficiently studied for engineers and technicians. Through a questionnaire survey, this study investigated differences amongst professionals and trainees across …

Aanleiding onderzoek Na de 2e wereldoorlog kwam de wereldeconomie weer op gang en werd de vraag naar hoogbouw steeds groter. Diverse grote steden staan inmiddels bekend om de grote wolkenkrabbers, denk maar aan de skyline van New York of Tokio. Hoewel Nederland niet bekend staat als een hoogbouwcultuur, …

The scope of technology has expanded towards areas such as sports and vitality, offering significant challenges for engineering designers. However, only little is known about the underlying design and engineering processes used within these fields. Therefore, this paper aims to get an indepth understanding …

Autonomous driving in public roads requires precise localization within the range of few centimeters. Even the best localization systems based on GNSS cannot always reach this level of precision, especially in an urban environment, where the signal is disturbed by surrounding buildings and artifacts. …

Peer reviewed research paper SEFI Engineering Education congress 2018 Within higher engineering education, students have to learn to close knowledge gaps that arise in professional assignments, such as capstone projects. These knowledge gaps can be closed through simple inquiry, but can also require …

To ensure stability for ships, ballast water is often used to correct or adjust the list or trim of a ship. After loading the ballast water is often carried across the ocean and discharged in an area with another aquatic environment. As a result, invasive species can end up in the water and effect the …
