1. Reliability-based design of rock tunnel support
Abstract : Since 2009, design of rock tunnels can be performed in accordance with the Eurocodes, which allows that different design methodologies are applied, such as design by calculation or design using the observational method. To account for uncertainties in design, the Eurocode states that design by calculation should primarily be performed using the partial factor method or reliability-based methods. READ MORE

2. On reliability-based design of rock tunnel support
Abstract : Tunneling involves large uncertainties. Since 2009, design of rock tunnels in European countries should be performed in accordance with the Eurocodes. The main principle in the Eurocodes is that it must be shown in all design situations that no relevant limit state is exceeded. READ MORE

3. Scaling techniques using CFD and wind tunnel measurements for use in aircraft design
Abstract : This thesis deals with the problems of scaling aerodynamic data from wind tunnel conditions to free flight. The main challenges when this scaling should be performed is how the model support, wall interference and the potentially lower Reynolds number in the wind tunnel should be corrected. READ MORE

4. Analysis of Excavation Damage, Rock Mass Characterisation and Rock Support Design using Drilling Monitoring
Abstract : Prior to an underground excavation a site investigation is carried out. This includes reviewing and analysing existing data, field data collected through outcrop mapping, drill core logging and geophysical investigations. READ MORE

5. Influence of heat on the physical and mechanical properties of selected rock types
Abstract : Impelled by the increase in the number of tunnel fires in the last decade alone, wide spread attention has been drawn towards tunnel fire safety studies. Many of these fires occurred in road and railway tunnels involving vehicles and trains. READ MORE
