6. Bracing of steel bridges during construction; theory, full-scale tests and simulations
Abstract : A number of steel bridges have suffered lateral-torsional failure during their construction due to their lacking adequate lateral and/or rotational stiffness. In most cases, slight bracing can be of great benefit to the main girders involved through their controlling out-of-plane deformations and enabling the resistance that is needed to be achieved.

7. Extensions of the kernel method of test score equating
Abstract : This thesis makes contributions within the area of test score equating and specifically kernel equating. The first paper of this thesis studies the estimation of the test score distributions needed in kernel equating. READ MORE

9. Aspects of Yang-Mills Theory : Solitons, Dualities and Spin Chains
Abstract : One of the still big problems in the Standard Model of particle physics is the problem of confinement. Quarks or other coloured particles have never been observed in isolation. Quarks are only observed in colour neutral bound states. The strong interactions are described using a Yang-Mills theory. READ MORE

10. Test Design for Mean Ability Growth and Optimal Item Calibration for Achievement Tests
Abstract : In this thesis, we examine two topics in the area of educational measurement. The first topic studies how to best design two achievement tests with common items such that a population mean-ability growth is measured as precisely as possible. The second examines how to calibrate newly developed test items optimally. READ MORE
