Seawater circulation in the slurry TBM excavation chamber and its influence on the permeability of bentonite
When drilling with a slurry TBM (Tunneling Boring Machine) below the sea bottom, the fresh bentonite slurry will be mixed with the seawater and transformed into a salty bentonite slurry. This paper describes a theoretical study into the seawater circulation in the TBM excavation chamber and proposes a model to predict the amounts of seawater that m...
The impact of climate change on degradation in historical building envelopes : progress in research using hygrothermal m...
The durability of historical building envelopes is affected by changing climate conditions. The impact of climate change on degradation phenomena can be assessed by means of hygrothermal simulations. Often, studies only use a single climate projection, and thus only consider a single evolution of the climate system. However, an ensemble of multiple...
A simple model incorporating foam rheology to quantify foam penetration behaviour in EPB shield tunnelling
Fulfilling the role of a soil conditioner, foam plays a pivotal role in Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) shield tunnelling by enhancing soil properties such as lowering permeability and increasing flowability. This study introduces a macro-model designed to quantify foam penetration behaviour in saturated sand, utilising rheological properties. To vali...

Automated MRI quantification of volumetric per-muscle fat fractions in the proximal leg of patients with muscular dystro...
Muscular dystrophies (MD) are a class of rare genetic diseases resulting in progressive muscle weakness affecting specific muscle groups, depending on the type of disease. Disease progression is characterized by the gradual replacement of muscle tissue by fat, which can be assessed with fat-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and objectively...
Event-based run-off and sediment yield dynamics and controls in the subhumid headwaters of the Blue Nile, Ethiopia
Land degradation due to soil erosion presents a major challenge for sustainable development. We investigated run-off and sediment yield (SY) dynamics in the northwestern highlands of Ethiopia. The study area included 14 zero-order catchments with a surface area ranging from 324 to 1715 m2. V-notch weirs produced from plastic jars were introduced as...
