For IABSE 2014, I published the first paper about the theoretical work about the Modified Bond Model from my dissertation. The abstract of the paper is: The shear problem is typically studied by testing small, heavily reinforced, slender beams subjected…
I recently presented a paper titled "Practical Application of Transverse Load Redistribution in Reinforced Concrete Solid Slab Bridges" at the 9th conference on Short and Medium Span Bridges in Calgary. The abstract of the paper is the following: For an…
At IABMAS 2014 in Shanghai, I presented a paper titled "Recommendations for the Shear Assessment of Reinforced Concrete Solid Slab Bridges". The abstract of the paper is: As a result of the heavier live load models and more conservative shear…
Continuing with the pile of questions that I have which deserve a spot in the Q&A series, I would like to expand on the following question, which I got through Twitter:I have presentation on my proposal, please help me with…
Just like last year, I've given a presentation at the Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board. Last year, I wrote as well about navigating TRB for the first time, and how I enjoyed using the conference app. Like last…
I recently presented a overview of the recommendations for shear assessment from my PhD research at Concrete 2013 in Gold Coast, Australia. In this paper and presentation, we looked at the our experiments, and how these led to the recommendations…
On September 10th 2013, I gave a lecture about my PhD research at my alma mater, the Vrije Universiteit Brussel in Brussels, Belgium. Even though I graduated from Brussels in 2008, I have kept in touch every now and then…
As I started to travel to conferences, I often found myself faced with the "What should I wear?" dilemma. Being in my mid twenties, I didn't want to give off the impression of being the "lost student" out there without…
On September 2nd, I gave a presentation with the title: "Peak shear stress distribution in finite element models of concrete slabs" at the Fifth International Conference on Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Computation in Cape Town, South Africa. What I presented…
On June 14th 2013, I defended my doctoral dissertation at Delft University of Technology. As I wrote before, the defense itself was the very end of the entire process of writing, editing, re-editing, publishing and finally defending my doctoral dissertation.…
