Van Loon, P.S.P. (author)During this research a method is developed for finding the cost optimal design of a sea dike when a probabilistic method is being applied and flexibility is allowed in the distribution of the total failure probability over the various failure mechanisms. A probabilistic model has been set up to calculate the cost optimal design for a sea dike...master thesis 2014

Azikci, M.A. (author)The Van der Meer formula for amour stability takes the Iribarren number, number of waves and damage level into account. It also contains a factor P which describes the “notional permeability” of the breakwater. This factor is based on the fact that a more permeable structure dissipates more energy and hence requires less heavy armouring. Its...master thesis 2015

Dijkstra, S.D. (author)The graduation thesis focuses on providing insight in the consequences of subsiding ground on soil anchors. With the years, the bars of an anchored sheet pile walls for example, can be unfavourably loaded due to subsiding soil. As a result of these lateral loads, the bar will deform and elongate, causing the stresses to increase. The...master thesis 2015

Dorrepaal, S.G. (author)The Netherlands are protected against extreme high waters from the sea by an ingenious system of barriers. One of the most famous ones is the Maeslant barrier in the New Waterway near the port of Rotterdam. This barrier however, is subject to discussion, as it might not function as intended, because of the following reasons. It has a very low...master thesis 2016

Mooyaart, L.F. (author)In the Netherlands 6,8% of the total electricity production came from renewable energy sources. Electricity was 17 % of the total energy consumption in that year. In total 1,2% of the energy consumption was therefore renewable. The objective of the cabinet to get 20% of the energy from renewable energy sources will therefore be a major challenge...master thesis 2009

Rijnink, Alexandra (author)A dam including a tidal power station with pumping capacity is a new type of flood defence. The negative ecological impact normally associated with closure dams is partially mitigated by including a tidal power station in the structure. Water can move through the tidal power station resulting in a reduced tidal stroke at the created lake. This...master thesis 2020

Oujamaa, I. (author)Floods are one of the most devastating natural disasters, hitting various regions in the world each year. In the last decades the potential damage caused by floods has increased. The need for tools, like flood maps and flood models, for real time monitoring and forecasting of floods has also increased. When an upcoming flood is expected, and...master thesis 2013

Woudstra, S.D. (author)Introduction In navigation locks levelling is executed under free flow. The net flow from the upper section into the lower section of the waterway is considered as a water loss. An innovative water saving concept is an IRS Lock. IRS stands for inflatable rubber structure. The concept consists of an air filled IRS applied in a lock chamber. In...master thesis 2014

Karimi, I. (author)Hurricane Ike made landfall on 13th of September 2008 on the Galveston Island in the Texas area. This hurricane is the third-costliest hurricane that ever has made landfall in the United States and the costliest hurricane in the history of the Texas. The possible future disasters should be prevented by using the best practices and existing...master thesis 2014

De Boer, R. (author)The enormous damage caused by hurricane Ike in the year 2008 has been the main incentive for several structural flood risk reduction plans in the Houston-Galveston Bay area. One of them is the ’Ike Dike’, a large-scale coastal barrier which closes Galveston Bay to prevent penetration of hurricane surges. A momentum gain for flood risk reduction...master thesis 2015

Kishoen Misier, R.K. (author)Nowadays, in the Netherlands there are about 600 kilometers of asphaltic revetments lying mainly on sea dikes of which approximately 400 km of dike is covered with asphalt concrete [STOWA, 2011]. Asphalt concrete revetments are applied the most and are mostly of older age. Because of the older age it needs intensive care involving periodic...master thesis 2014

Hoss, F. (author)Multilayered Safety (MLS) is seen as the next step in Dutch flood risk management. In the last decades the idea that only flood defenses can prevent floods gave way to the realization prevention can also be implemented along other lines, e.g. giving the rivers more space. The next thought was that next to preventing floods it should be possible...master thesis 2010

Volbeda, E.A. (author)Bank protections are currently constructed with stone, wood, concrete and steel. NETICS has introduced a sustainable and commercially very attractive alternative called the GEOWALL. The goal of this study is to find a viable field of application within the quay structures by considering the arising challenges of a larger scale wall. Additionally...master thesis 2016

Bekarlar, K.Z. (author)Traditional reinforced concrete tunnels show limits regarding large spans in the transverse direction. There was a lack of knowledge whether the steel-concrete-steel (SCS) sandwich tunnel can be a solution for tunnels with extreme large spans. Research was needed to understand the structural response of a large span SCS tunnel to the load...master thesis 2016

Maaskant, B. (author)The new flood safety approach for the Netherlands includes, besides the probability of extreme water levels, other type of dike failures and the consequences of a flood. The consequences of a flood are economic damage, materialistic damage and the number of fatalities. To determine the possible number of fatalities during a flood, fatality...master thesis 2007

Van Eijk, T.F.A. (author)Within Royal HaskoningDHV an innovative concept is thought to be feasible as a new foundation for larger wind turbines in deeper waters. In this thesis the development of this innovative offshore wind turbine foundation was aided. The research focused on two topics: - Scour at this gravity based foundations. - Possible design optimisations with...master thesis 2016

van Elsäcker, W.A. (author)Liquefaction may have large influence on performance of anchored quay walls and is important to include in seismic design. Design codes provide evaluation methods that provide hardly any insight in the actual development of excess pore pressures and the don’t consider soil structure interaction. There is a need for tools that include these...master thesis 2016

Dijkman, M. (author)In the southeast of the city of New Orleans, in St. Bernard Parish lies a coastal defensive area, which is formed by a primary dike, a secondary dike and a transitory wetland area in the middle. During Hurricane Katrina on the 29th of August 2005, a huge storm surge from the east overtopped and destroyed large sections of the primary dike. The...master thesis 2007
