Penninx, W.H. (author)Inbreken via internet is een fact of life geworden. Eén van de uitdagingen voor de ICT-beveiligers is dat nieuwe inbraaktechnieken zeer snel hun weg vinden naar elke internettoegangsdeur. Professionele internetcriminaliteit is geen toekomstige bedreiging; het is volop aanwezig. Inbraaksoftware wordt in eerste instantie vaak gemaakt door...book chapter 2009

Tri, M.C. (author)In the low-lying coastal regions coastal defence structures are usually designed with a main function to protect the hinterland from highly vulnerable to coastal flooding. Sea dikes are usually the most common and important elements which form the coastal flood defence system. Sea dikes are designed at a pre-defined circumstance and requirement....report 2008

Bux, I. (author)Experience has shown that the stability parameters relating to breakwater armour unit stability vary considerably for steep foreshores when compared to milder foreshore slope. Furthermore, the change from the deep water spectra (Tm0) to the shallow water wave spectra (Tm-1.0) does not fully explain the difference. Leading on from recent...report 2007

van Gerven, K.A.J. (author), Akkerman, G.J. (author)The present report deals with the application of a provisional Smart Grass Reinforcement (SGR) system in 2006 for full scale testing of increased overtopping at the Groningen sea dyke test section near Delfzijl, as envisaged in 2007. The SGR has been placed at two strips of 4 m wide: one primary strip at the basic test site and one at a...report 2007

Akkerman, G.J. (author), van Gerven, K.A.J. (author), Schaap, H.A. (author), van der Meer, J.W. (author)In the present report field erosion tests of the inner slope of a sea dyke in the province of Groningen (near Delfzijl) are described for the situation of severe wave overtopping. Three types of tests have been performed: tests at the present grass cover, tests at a reinforced grass cover and tests at a section of bare clay. At the reinforced...report 2007

Van der Meer, J.M. (author)The wave overtopping simulator is a device which is able to simulate overtopping waves at the crest of a dike and at the inner slope. The device has been used in the ComCoast project to test a traditional dike section with grass and the SGR, the Smart Grass Reinforcement, placed in May 2006. This report describes in the first part (Chapters 1-6)...report 2007

Huang, B. (author), Guangzhou, M. (author)The Rhine River in the Netherlands, the Yellow River in China and the Mississippi River in the U.S. are three great rivers in the world. Each of them is performing a significant role in the country. The delta area for each river, in particular, is served as the centre in importance and commonly the most developed region in the whole river basin....report 2007

Koopal, A.A. (author), Onderwater, M. (author)An important element in the ComCoast concept is the overtopable sea defence, often a dike.The landward (inner) slope of the dike is adjusted in such a way that it can withstand higher overtopping rates. One of the concepts to improve the resistance is the "Sandy Dike", a cover of the inner slope with layer sand. The sand will be washed away...report 2007

Oedekerk, M. (author)Climate change will cause increasing physical loads on the flood defence of the Province of Groningen along the North Sea over the next decades. This is caused by a sea level rise between 15 and 35 centimetres whilst the ground level is lowering between 38 and 48 centimetres until the year 2050. This results in salt-water intrusion into the land...report 2006

Roose, R. (author)De Zeeuwse kust staat onder druk. Naar verwachting zal de zeespiegel deze eeuw ongeveer 60 centimeter stijgen door klimaatverandering. Niet alleen de zee, maar ook de rivieren zorgen naar alle waarschijnlijkheid voor een stijging. De deltawateren zijn nu weliswaar afgesloten van Rijn, Maas en Schelde, maar in de toekomst wordt wellicht de...report 2006

ComCoast (author)The Dutch coast carries a variety of values. With its diversity in dune areas, its shallows and the delta areas, the coastal area of the Netherlands has a high ecological value, forming a unique biotope for a great variety of plant and animal species, and providing an important foraging area for migrating birds. The economic importance of the...report 2006

ComCoast (author)The aim of this evaluation is to gain insight in the social, economic en ecological impacts of an overtopping resistant dike compared to a traditional dike in combination with different forms of land use in the hinterland. At the same time this pilot study should provide support the decision makers of the province of Groningen to find solutions...report 2006

ComCoast (author)A desk study has been carried out in order to develop a conceptual model for the erosion of inner dike slopes with reinforced grass cover. Based on the results the following can be concluded: The presence of a geosynthetic in a grass slope can be taken into account in the EPM method by increasing the critical flow velocity. In particular, a...report 2005
