Stokman, Charlotte (author)The energy market is growing and noise regulations for offshore foundation pile installation grow stricter. New initiatives arise to comply with the ongoing developments in the field, such as the BLUE Piling Technology under development by IQIP. Its features are presented as reduced underwater noise levels during installation, which is attibuted...master thesis 2023

Jakšić, Luka (author)In times of rapid urbanization, engineering interventions in coastal systems have become more common. It is important to understand the interplay of these engineered solutions with their natural environment to minimize hazardous side effects to our ecology, economy and coastal safety. In a numerical study by Rijnsburger (2021), a flow...master thesis 2021

Westerbeke, Fréderike (author)Almost 4000 MV piles are used as anchorage of quay walls in the port of Rotterdam. The current design method of MV piles in Dutch practice is a CPT-based method that correlates the cone resistance to the shaft friction by a factor α_t. In the port of Rotterdam, the cone resistance is restricted under the assumption that no shaft resistance...master thesis 2021

Mann, Mathijs (author)The port of Rotterdam was full and new mooring locations were required to host the largest ships in the world. And if there’s no space to expand on land, why not create land in the sea? That is exactly what The Netherlands did by creating Maasvlakte 2. The construction of Maasvlakte 2 started in 2008 and was officially completed on May 22nd ,...master thesis 2019

Zaalberg, Piet (author)OpenFOAM allowed the author to simulate a large number of scenarios in which the influences of cross-shore profile shape, cobble porosity, cobble diameter and layer thickness on wave overtopping were examined. Four validation runs and six simulations to map the sensitivity are compared with data from two physical experiments conducted in the...master thesis 2019

Lako, Anouk (author)All over the world, coastal protection measures are taken, which can be soft (e.g. sand nourishments on sandy beaches) or hard (e.g. seadikes or seawalls). Special care has to be taken to design the transition between these hard and soft flood defences, as they are often vulnerable components of a coastal defence system. This study therefore...master thesis 2019

Olthoff, Tymen (author)The consortium Projectorganisatie Uitbreiding Maasvlakte (PUMA), consisting out of Van Oord and Boskalis, constructed a hard sea defence for the protection of Maasvlakte 2, which is the expansion of the Port of Rotterdam. This hard sea defence consists of a Dynamic Rock Slope (DRS) with a Block Dam (BD) situated in front of it. The BD is build...master thesis 2019

van Weringh, Mark (author)Quay structures play an important role in society. How much load these structures can withstand however is not certain. This MSc thesis contains insight into the load capacity of the old Amazonehaven and the current SIF quay structures. Both are quay structures which use a combined sheet pile wall, a reinforced concrete relieving platform, M.V....master thesis 2018

(author)De afgelopen jaren (2010 - 2015) zijn er in Nederland vele in het oog springende waterbouwkundige projecten gerealiseerd. Aansprekende voorbeelden betreffen onder meer Maasvlakte 2, de Zandmotor, de ontpoldering van de Noordwaard en de omlegging van de Zuid-Willemsvaart. Ook in de lokale watersystemen zijn diverse interessante projecten gebouwd....book 2016

Brands, M.J.M. (author)The Maasvlakte port area in Rotterdam is located in the Netherlands. There are 14 container terminals and empty container depots located within this area, some are existing and some will be built in the near future. At container terminals containers are being transhipped between different modalities. At empty container depots, empty containers...master thesis 2015

Kibrit, B. (author)Introduction While the world moves towards modern renewable energy sources, these sources are not always available which makes them unreliable. At the same time, problems of balancing the daily peak-demand is still performed with expensive fossil fueled units. Sitting perfectly in between supply and demand is a solution with the potential of...master thesis 2013

Wang, F. (author)Reliability evaluation of power system substations is of significant importance when performing asset management. Most of the studies about substation reliability only focus on the substation connectivity. The reaction of protection system is fully neglected, which cannot be true in reality. Failures of the protection system failure or the...master thesis 2012

Roelvink, D. (author), Stelling, G. (author), Hoonhout, B.M. (author), Risandi, J. (author), Jacobs, W. (author), Merli, D. (author)The formulations of the 2DH process-based, nearshore morphological model XBeach were extended to allow for curvilinear grids using a finite volume approach. The formulations were tested for schematic cases such as a circular island and a field validation study was carried out for the case of storm erosion during a construction phase of the soft...conference paper 2012

Ros, R. (author), Taneja, P. (author), Vellinga, T. (author)The core business of a port is handling vessels and cargo. In addition a landlord Port Authority invests in development of port areas. However, in view of the new trends such as stakeholders interests related to environment and sustainability, it is can be wise to reexamine the business portfolio periodically. This applies especially if an...conference paper 2012

Taneja, P. (author), Ros, R. (author), Velllinga, T. (author), Van Schuylenburg, M. (author)The present volatile environment continues to place new functional requirements on port infrastructure. As a result, the useful life of port infrastructure has reduced in recent years. Flexibility in infrastructure makes it possible to adapt them for new or changed use. The use of flexible and sustainable solutions infrastructures needs to be...conference paper 2012

Ros, R. (author)Port of Rotterdam Authority decided to construct Maasvlakte 2 to cope with demand for port areas. Maasvlakte 2 is a business case driven project. The outcome of the business case has led to the construction of an entire sea defense and the realization of port areas in phases, in response to client demand. The phased development results in the...master thesis 2011

Bootsma, M.T. (author)This project focuses on the shear strength of Devonian sandstone cobbles that will protect the area between the sea-water breaker and the beach and will be used to construct a runway for a large crane for the new Maasvlakte 2. In rock slope design the shear strength of sliding interfaces is often based on Coulomb’s model in which shear strength ...bachelor thesis 2010
