Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Case – Orientation and data collection

Course subject(s) 3. Civil Engineering

We are going to test your knowledge by using a case study in the field of Civil Engineering. This case study will focus on the collapse of a precast composite floor during construction. In the video below an introduction to the case study is given. Afterwards, we will dig deeper into the investigation of this structural failure. Sounds exciting, right?!

Please notice that you are currently looking at a version of the course which doesn’t include the exercises. Go to the online learning website for more information.
