Berning, Max (author)Flood defense will have to be strengthened all over the world as sea level rise poses great challenges for the safety of coastal settlements. Strengthening traditional hard flood defenses is becoming increasingly more difficult due to limited space in the coastal zone and large costs inflicted with renovation. Adaptive ‘soft solutions’ pose an...master thesis 2023

Ton, A.M. (author), Vuik, V. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)Low-energy, non-tidal lake beaches are known to be subject to longshore morphodynamics, but little is known about how they are driven by wind and wave-driven currents. Lake Markermeer is a shallow (∼4 m deep), wind-dominated lake, of approximately 700 km<sup>2</sup>. A gradient in wind-induced water level set-up at the leeward shore induces a...journal article 2023

Le Grand, Oscar (author)Sea level rise will increase the risk of flooding in coastal areas. This poses a risk to the coastal protection as well as rivers and lakes close to the coast. Solutions are needed to cope with this threat. The past decade, nature based solutions have gained significant interest. One of these solutions could be sandy foreshores. Due to the use...master thesis 2022

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

Simonse, Jesse (author)Since 1990, the Dutch coastline is maintained within the ‘Dynamic Preservation’ program, according to which the coastline is maintained seawards from a reference line, mainly by applying nourishments. Research into the maintenance of the Dutch coast is continuous and causes the content of the coastline preservation program to change constantly...master thesis 2017

Roelvink, D. (author), Den Heijer, C. (author), Van Thiel De Vries, J.S.M. (author)Land reclamations and island coasts often involve strongly curved shorelines, which are challenging to be properly modeled by numerical morphological models. Evaluation of the long term development of these types of coasts as well as their response to storm conditions requires proper representation of the governing physical processes. Not all...conference paper 2013

Mulders, P.H.M. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)A new series of physical model tests were conducted to analyse the behaviour of a breakwater core when it becomes exposed to wave attack. The emphasis of this research was on the measured influence of a wide stone grading on both the deformation of a breakwater trunk and the occurring longshore transport. This behaviour was investigated for both...conference paper 2012

Bijl, E. (author)The erosion problem at the Senegambia area (The Gambia) is the subject of this thesis. The Senegambia area is the largest Tourism developed area which contributes significantly to the economy of The Gambia. In November 2003 Royal Haskoning has constructed a beach nourishment of 1,000,000 m3 as an erosion buffer with a lifetime of 10 to 15 years....master thesis 2011

Samudero, M.P. (author)Construction of breakwaters is performed consecutively from core layer, filter layer, up to the armour layer. During construction, excessive damage is often encountered on core layers due to environmental conditions. The damage behaviour of core layers is similar to berm breakwater structures, where the initial profile is reshaped into a more...master thesis 2010

Mulders, P.H.M. (author)During the construction of breakwaters contractors often encounter undesired reshaping of exposed core material. This reshaping is comparable to the deformation process of berm breakwaters in which the outer profile reshapes into a more stable s-curve. In the case of oblique waves this deformation is enhanced by a longshore transport of stones...master thesis 2010

Drieman, R. (author), Hinborch, M. (author), Monden, M. (author), Vendrik, E.A.J. (author)Master project report. In Barbados the problem arose of lack of space for development on the existing shoreline. Therefore the project "The Islands" has been conceptualized. In front of the west coast of Barbados, a group of artificial islands will be created. On the islands there will be space for luxurious villas and hotels. The location of...student report 2009

Croonen, K. (author), Froeling, D. (author), Marbus, G. (author), Van Bemmel, M. (author)Master project report. The Port of Altamira is one of the fast growing ports in the world and is together with Veracruz and Coatzacoalcos one of the biggest ports of Mexico at the Gulf coast. It is an industrial Port with a lot of potential for expanding. However, the breakwaters of the Port extending into the sea caused severe erosion at the...student report 2006

Tonnon, P.K. (author)Massive mining of sand from the middle and lower shoreface (depths of 10-30 m) in large-scale mining and borrow pits will be required in future in many European countries to nourish coastal beaches and dunes in response to increased coastal erosion due to expected sea level rise. The offshore mining of sand will require fundamental knowledge of...report 2004

Jörissen, J.G.L. (author)Als gevolg van natuurlijke processen, zoals getijde en golven, is een kustomgeving voortdurend aan verandering onderhevig. Hierdoor is een zandige kust niet altijd stabiel en kan er op sommige plaatsen een achteruitgaande kustlijn worden aangetroffen. Indien zo'n achteruitgaande kustlijn een structureel karakter heeft, wordt dat vaak veroorzaakt...master thesis 2001

Alikhani, A. (author), Tomasicchio, G.R. (author), Juhl, J. (author)Comprehensive three-dimensional model tests with a berm breakwater roundhead and the adjacent trunk section were carried out at the Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI) and at the Hydraulic & Coastal Engineering Laboratory of Aalborg University (AAU). This paper describes the influence of wave obliquity on the profile shape, on the initiation of...report 1997

Dekker, R. (author)This master's thesis is written using data from experiments performed in the framework of the Human Capital and Mobility program of the European Union. Six universities work together to solve some of the unknown aspects related to the use of submerged breakwaters along sandy coasts. In this study data from 2DV tests carried out in Delft and...master thesis 1996

Jensen, M.S. (author), Frigaard, P. (author)The report summaries the results obtained with a berm breakwater attacked by oblique waves. In the tests special attention is given to the influence of the rock shape on the longshore transport. Moreover, the reshaping berm profile and amount of wave overtopping is examined. The tests were performed in a tree-dimensional model in Jan.-Feb. 96'...report 1996

Kersting, N.F. (author)In 1993 an artificial sand nourishment was carried out at the coast of Terschelling. The total amount of supply was deposited in a trough between two breaker bars, up to a level of about NAP -5m. The present report gives a prediction of the development of the coast in the next 10 years. For this, a mathematical model has been used, in which the...master thesis 1995

Grasmeijer, B.T. (author), Sies, E.M. (author)Coastal changes occur mostly as a result of changes in sediment transport along the coast. If at cross-section A, the sediment transport is for any reason larger (or smaller) than at cross-section B, accretion (or erosion) will take place in between the two cross-sections. For prediction of coast-lines in the future, the prediction of the net...master thesis 1995

Hald, T. (author), Burcharth, H.F. (author), Frigaard, P. (author)As a part of the MAST II Berm Breakwater Structures, existing data from conducted laboratory tests have been reanalised. The objective was to evaluate the effect of the longshore transpsort on both the roundhead and trunk, the ht.u,er exposed to both head-on waves and oblique inegular waves varying from 15 to 30 degrees angle of incidence. 3...report 1995
