As the year passes, keeping themselves afloat has become more challenging for the Netherlands. Climate change and sea level rise are primary factors influencing the maintenance and reinforcement of the country's dikes system. Therefore, a new Delta Plan has been implemented to make the dikes system climate-proof …

De Deltaweg is een van de belangrijkste stroomwegen in Zeeland en essentieel voor de evacuatie van Noord-Beveland. Als een lokale dijk doorbreekt zal de Deltaweg overstromen, terwijl beschikbaarheid van deze weg, vooral na de overstroming, essentieel is voor hulpdiensten om het gebied te bereiken. Dit …

For this research the main objective is to understand the effect fire would have on biocrete, as well as optimizing the amount of Miscanthus fibres into the mixture to make biocrete that is still strong enough for internal walls, as well as sub-research objectives that will be researched and accomplished …

In all sectors of the economy, whether in the governmental or private sector, one of the most crucial factors for success is the ability to maintain one’s assets most efficiently and effectively.

The focus of this research is to optimize the bio-concrete mixture design containing natural plant-based fibres as well as to investigate and describe the properties of the developed materials. The main goal of the project is to produce a bio-concrete design that is sufficient to be used as an insulation …

Dit afstudeeronderzoek heeft als doel inzicht te krijgen in de constructieve veiligheid van het brugdek/val van de Schroebrug om deze voor de komende 25 jaar in stand te houden. Het brugdek is voor het laatst getoetst in 2007, met de oude normering, daarom is de theoretische restlevensduur volgens de …

Water Board Scheldestromen manages the water system of Zeeland which consists of mainly brackish waters. These types of waters have a variety …

Waterschap Scheldestromen is carrying out a particularly innovative project named Multiflexmeter (MFM), of which the objective is to look for ways to measure the soil resistance . This means some properties and characteristics of water needs to be researched on, such as the salinity and the corresponding …

The aim of this research was to find out if Mycelium has the ability to replace stones in a roman arch bridge structure, by setting up the appropriate laboratory tests and by conducting a desk research to help identifying the best substrate out of the three substrates picked that will produce mycelium …
