Groundwater Modelling for Urban Water Management in Gouda, the Netherlands
No full textIn 2014, a project, Living Lab Land Subsidence, is established to find a sustainable solution for land subsidence problem in Gouda. Being a part of the project, this research focuses on building a high-resolution groundwater model (2m*2m) by describing the model (such as recharge, leaky sewerage pipes) in local details. Water management strategies can be tested in the model to observe their effects on the groundwater levels. Then this model can be linked to a land subsidence model for further study on land subsidence under different (ground)water management scenarios
Back on track: Redeveloping the railway zone in Gouda
No full textA railway station is one of the most important elements of modern cities. The station is of vital importance to shops and other economic functions in the city centre because of the constant flow of people going in and out of the city. At present, many Dutch cities saw the necessity of redeveloping their railway station environments. Every railway station environment has an own identity, and therefore its own potentials. Analyzing the integration of railway stations within their city’s urban fabric is one of the ways to determine those potentials. Many current regeneration projects are only focused on the connectivity on a regional scale. Often the local accessibility is considered as less important. A lot has been written about the quality and liveability of public space already. The public space in the vicinity of a railway station is one of the most important public urban spaces in a city. It is the first space people experience when arriving in the city. However, in many current railway station environment redevelopment projects the liveability does not get priority. Many different factors have resulted in railway station environments that are unpleasant places to be, cut off from their surroundings. This is where the challenges lie for the nearby future in the Netherlands, to regain the importance of the railway station and the railway network, especially in a large metropolitan area like the Randstad. These two currently subordinated aspects; the spatial integration and the liveability of railway station environments will be emphasized in this MSc thesis. The project location of this thesis is the railway zone in Gouda. The spatial potential and the liveability of the current situation have been analyzed, as well as the changes the existing plans of the municipality of Gouda will make. As final product of this graduation project an alternative urban renewal plan has been developed for the railway zone in Gouda.Urban RegenerationUrbanismArchitectur
Een zwevend stadhuis voor Gouda
No full textStudie naar de technische implicaties van een luchtgebonden variant. Gouda heeft onlangs een nieuw ontwerp goedgekeurd voor een nieuw alomvattend stadhuis buiten het centrum. Bij de sectie urban architecture van de faculteit bouwkunde aan de TUDelft is een alternatief voorstel gedaan dat boven de daken van het oude centrum is geplaatst. Dit afstuderen heeft zich geconcentreerd op de technische consequenties daarvan. Allereerst is de daglichttoetreding van de onderliggende woningen onder de loep genomen. Zonder maatregelen zouden de onderliggende woningen veroordeeld zijn tot een beroevend niveau van natuurlijk licht. Geprobeerd is de vorm van het gebouw dusdanig te wijzigen dat de hoeveelheid daglicht voor de onderliggende woningen gemaximaliseerd werd, zonder de architectonisch / stedenbouwkundige compositie te wijzigen. Vervolgens moest het volume op zijn plaats worden gehouden door een serie ondersteuningen, maar in het bestaande netwerk van straten, pleinen en binnenplaatsen was daarvoor maar weinig ruimte. Een afweging is gemaakt tussen verschillende draagconstructie alternatieven en daarna is met fysieke en virtuele modellen gezocht naar een optimum. Het ruimtegebrek op maaiveld leidde ook tot een complex montagevraagstuk. Het montageplan bleek een vierdimensionale puzzel die direct gekoppeld was aan de keuzes voor de bezonning, opleggingen en detaillering, en moest daarom al vroeg in beschouwing worden genomen. Tot slot is gezocht naar een detaillering die de gewenste montage mogelijk maakt, door een efficiente knoopaansluiting die het constructiegewicht laag houdt.Design and ConstructionCivil Engineering and Geoscience

Controlling urban groundwater in delta areas: A case study at Turfmarkt, Gouda, the Netherlands
No full textIn the light of the European Work Program DRS-11-2015, a Dutch Collision “Solid City on Soft Soil” was formed in order to mitigate disasters brought by subsidence and safeguard cultural heritage assets. As an initial approach, the Dutch Collision planned to explore and implement solutions for this challenge in the historic city center of Gouda and made this project as a paragon for other cities suffering from the similar problem. Multiple parties – governments, scientific institutes, private parties, and civilians – are interested and involved in this project. The inner city of Gouda is an independent polder built on the Holland-Utrecht peat. The combination of subsidence and climate change increases the overall vulnerability, and a sustainable and efficient urban water management plays a significant role when it comes to the solutions. As the starting point for the Gouda project, this research focuses on the investigation of the fluctuation characteristic of groundwater under different influential factors (primarily precipitation, evapotranspiration, and sewage water) in two contiguous drainage areas – Nieuwe Haven and Centrum, where the impacts of climate change and land subsidence had been identified enormously negative. In order to have a comprehensive understanding about the groundwater flow pattern in the research area, a new groundwater observation network was designed and implemented on 20th of May, 2016 to collect sufficient groundwater level data. The network took into consideration of the influential factors on groundwater, susceptible areas to groundwater fluctuation, and accessibility for subsequent validation and maintenance. Once the new observation network started to measure the groundwater levels properly, a field experiment was implemented to investigate the leaky extent of the back-stowed sewer system as well as the response of the groundwater to the variation of the sewage water levels. Both the time series and cross-section analysis among groundwater levels, sewage water levels, precipitations, and evapotranspiration were carried through. At the end, a preliminary construction and parameter analysis of a 3D finite-difference transient daily groundwater flow model were performed with the help of iMODFLOW v2.6.37. However, further calibration of the model is required to improve the model performance in the future. The current results illustrate that the leaking extent of the back-stowed sewer system depends on the year of the construction and the pipe material. Generally speaking, the reactions of groundwater levels to the changes of the sewage water levels are up to the leaky extent of sewer pipes and the distance to the leaky system; groundwater in the vicinity of vegetation displays a similar variation pattern with the potential evaporation within a day; and groundwater in the unpaved and riparian areas are more sensitive to the precipitation. The whole project is still in progress, and certain aspects of current investigation require further improvements. Additional recommendations related to data collection, model calibration, and investigation in other areas of the inner city of Gouda were given at the end of this thesis. Although there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution, due to the fact that seldom research has focused on the urban groundwater management related to land subsidence so far, the methods, procedures, experience and lessons accumulated in this research can still be considered as a guide or assistance for other areas or cities which are willing to make a change.Civil Engineering and GeosciencesWater Managemen
Analysis of track and soil behaviour at transition zones: Case study near Gouda Goverwelle
No full textThe Dutch rail network is one of the busiest in the world. Structural, partly preventative, maintenance of the rail infrastructure is essential to ensure that such a busy network remains safe and free of faults. A substantial amount of position maintenance is currently necessary for the upkeep of the Dutch rail network and, in comparison with neighbouring countries, considerable wear and tear is apparent on the rails and rail joints. The soft subsoil provides a plausible explanation for this, particularly in the western part of The Netherlands. The consequences of this situation are relatively large amounts of position maintenance, especially on transitions between embankments and engineering structures, and a relatively large number position maintenance of related to faults, particularly where switches are located. Delft Cluster investigates the impact of the dynamic behaviour of the subsurface on degradation and the associated position maintenance. The research mainly focuses on specific components of the rail network, namely transition zones and switches. In the research plan ‘Impact of Dynamic Subsurface on Transitions and Switches’ dated 18 December 2006, the research was described in greater detail. Part of the research is to conduct field tests to analyze possible failure mechanisms in track and subsoil. A research site was selected near Gouda Goverwelle in the western part of the Netherlands. In 2008 and 2009 field measurements have been performed at a transition zone and at a switch. The target of this report is the interpretation and conclusions from all field measurements at the Railway Transition Zone (RTZ) of a culvert near Gouda Goverwelle
