Infrastructure

Hello, my name is Adri Vervuurt, program manager within the Infrastructure cluster. You can come to me with questions regarding the behavior of concrete and steel structures, (traffic) loads on bridges and viaducts, and other inquiries related to structural safety.

Hello, I am Dave van Vliet, a senior consultant within the road construction team of the Building Materials & Structures department. Within this team, the performance of road construction materials and the development of lifespan models and assessment techniques for asphalt mixtures are central. You can come to me with any questions related to road construction and questions concerning the evaluation and/or development of road construction materials.

Hello, I'm Henco Burggraaf, senior scientist at the Department of Building Materials and Structures. You can come to me with questions regarding the structural safety of concrete constructions.

My research expertise and interests are in fatigue and fracture, structural performance, and fire resistance of steel and aluminium structures.

‘Risk analysis will always be people’s work.’ If you want to analyse the safety risks and reliability of infrastructure, go to Senior Consultant Mirjam Nelisse. As strange as it may sound, 100% safe infrastructure is not the aim.

Flood defences, bridges, buildings and other civil infrastructures form an essential part of everyday life. Reliability based design is important because failures may have significant financial consequences and may result in injuries and loss of lives.
