Presentation of findings to the 'Nationaal Coördinator Groningen'

Invited presentation at University of Leeds on new technologies surrounding seismic activity

Presentation for the students of the Hanzehogeschool Groningen on Earthquake Education and Training

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 …

Groningen gas field is the largest on-land gas resource in the world and is being exploited since 1963. There are damaging earthquakes, the largest of which was 3.6 magnitude. The recursive induced earthquakes are often blamed for triggering the structural damages in thousands of houses in the area. …

This paper aims to quantify the cumulative damage of unreinforced masonry (URM) subjected to induced seismicity. A numerical model based on discrete element method (DEM) has been develop and was able to represented masonry wall panels with and without openings; which are common typologies of domestic …

Invited presentation for Hanze PRO to TCMG "Tijdelijke Commissie Mijnbouwschade Groningen" and other seismic experts

Energy dissipative steel cushions (EDSCs) are simple units that can be used to join structural members. They can absorb a substantial amount of seismic energy due to their geometric shapes and the ductile behavior of mild steel. Large deformation capability and stable hysteretic behavior were obtained …
