Post-earthquake structural damage shows that out-of-plane (OOP) wall collapse is one of the most common failure mechanisms in unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings. This issue is particularly critical in Groningen, a province located in the northern part of the Netherlands, where low-intensity induced …

Door artistieke verkenningen van kwelders in Engeland, Schotland en Nederland ontwikkelde Linde Ex de concepten “Land-shapes” en “Sooth-scapes” als manieren om deze vaak als onbeduidend beschouwde landschappen te observeren en te benaderen. “Land-shapes” en “Sooth-scapes” hebben een serie artistieke …
