Improvement of the operating reliability of the BAM Tidal Bridge by reducing the dynamic response due to waves

The BAM Tidal Bridge is a proposed bifunctional concept of a bridge connection between two Indonesian islands, and the world’s largest tidal power plant. The wave forcing on the floating structure leads to an undesired dynamic response and a decreased operating reliability. The thesis objective is about designing an additional structure or a...

Bow Thruster Currents at Open Quay Constructions on Piles

Research into hydraulic loads by a bow thruster. The hydraulic loads on the slope at an open quay construction on piles is investigated. The propeller (bow thruster) jet induces hydraulic loads on the bed, which could result in scour holes and damage to the quay construction. Performed scale model tests provide details about the hydraulic loads...

Hydraulische belasting op een geometrisch open filterconstructie

In de kust- en waterbouw worden regelmatig geometrisch open filterconstructies toegepast. Er bestaat onduidelijkheid over het doordringen van de hydraulische be lasting in de filterlaag en de invloed daarvan op de erosie van de basislaag. Eerder onderzoek geeft het verband aan tussen de schuifspanning op de filterlaag en schuifspanning op de...
