Phoenician Towns and Harbours in the North: the Case of Iron Age Sumur (Tell Kazel, Syria Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In the Amarna Age, the Lebanese and Syrian coastal strip between Gabla and Tripoli nowadays called the Akkar became the core of a kingdom forged by Abdi'Ashirta, and consolidated by his son Aziru and his brothers. Resumed since 1986 by the American University of Beirut, the excavations of Tell Kazel have in all probability located Amurru's chief centre Sumur, but also considerably contributed to a better understanding of the Amarna ...
Application of various strain measuring techniques on a biaxially loaded cruciform composite specimen Vrije Universiteit Brussel
At the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, a biaxial test device has been developed. The test consist of applying in-plane loads to a cruciform specimen. The geometry and dimensions of the specimen have been analysed and determined previously in order to obtain biaxial failure. Since the calculation of the stresses in the cruciform specimen is not straightforward due to the ill-defined load bearing area, measurement of strains is of primary importance ...
Building specifications and the Growing Standardizing of Public Building Regulation in Nineteenth-Century Belgium Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In the course of the nineteenth-century, public clients, architects, engineers and contractors increasingly desired a clear regulation of their collaboration. Hereby, the tool "par excellence" to communicate and to coordinate their cooperation were the building specifications. These written documents contained a detailed description of the job to be done, mostly written in the sequence of trades, explaining "those things concerning a project ...

Hennebique’s journal 'Le Béton armé': a close reading of the genesis of concrete construction in Belgium Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In June 1898, François Hennebique issued the monthly journal Le Béton Armé. Published until 1939, with 378 issues in all, this platform on the interface between information and propaganda serves as a perfect means to obtain a comprehensive overview of Hennebique's legacy. Giving an insight into the increasing sphere of action, the growing number of applications and the hierarchic structure and policy of the firm, the journal is a work of ...
The “unusually-shaped ivories” (USI) Group with Stylized Trees Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The paper deals with a group of unusually shaped ivories (USI)of the 9th-8th c. BCE Phoenician tradition. A stylistical and iconographical analysis allows to assign these products to the artistic output of several workshops with a specific predilection for compositions with the Sacred Tree as a central element. More recent variants on the themes elaborated allow the author to postulate USI prototypes, thence completing the iconographic motifs ...
Tests on a mock-up of the feedback controlled matching options for the ITER ICRH system Ghent University
For the ICRH of ITER 20MW must be coupled to the plasma in the 40-55MHz frequency band via an array of 24 radiating shorted straps fed by four generators. The matching system must provide automatic matching control on the mean load provided by the plasma and be resilient (|Γ| < 0.2) to a wide range of fast antenna load excursions occurring in ELMy plasmas. Furthermore, good control of the current distribution in the strap array must be ...
