Pieters, T. (author)Summary of the graduation work published at the ICCE: In the present investigation the influence of bottom slope on mass transport by progressive waves was investigated, both theoretically and experimentally. Theoretical considerations based on linear wave theory show the greatest influence of the slope on the bottom drift velocities for...master thesis 1974

Van Kruiningen, P. (author)Hoe evenwichtsverlies bij golfoverslag ontstaat en welke krachten daarbij een rol spelen is onduidelijk. In dit rapport is onderzocht hoe groot de wrijvingskrachten op het binnentalud van een dijk zijn ten gevolge van het overslaande water. Omdat dit probleem niet toegankelijk is voor berekening, zijn een aantal proeven gedaan. Hiertoe is een...master thesis 1979

Helbo, T. (author)Unexpected failure of subaqueous excavated slopes in the form of flow slides is considered in this graduate study. Excavated slopes are not the same as slopes constructed by means of hydraulic fill. Several recent flow slide failures in sand borrow pits, together with qualms in engineering practice about not knowing exactly what fundamental...master thesis 1996

Wittteman, E. (author)Although a lot is known nowadays about the run-up on smooth and impermeable slopes as well as the run-up on slopes covered with a rock armour layer, the physical properties of the armour layer of a rubble mound breakwater are not incorporated in the relations describing the run-up on a breakwater’s slope. The roughness of a slope and its...master thesis 1999

Witteman, E.F.C. (author)This report is the result of the Master of Science thesis of the author, at the Delft University of Technology, sub-Faculty of Civil Engineering. Although a lot is known nowadays about the run-up on smooth and impermeable slopes as well as the run-up on slopes covered with a rock armour layer, the physical properties of the armour layer of a...master thesis 1999

De Visser, M.M. (author)Environmental awareness and sustainable development have been popular themes over the last few years. To improve dikes along the estuaries in Zeeland (The Netherlands) where a high foreland with natural areas of salt marshes is present, alternatives to stone revetments are examined. From a natural and aesthetic point of view, a slope covered...master thesis 2007

Bosman, G. (author)Nowadays the protection of our country for high sea levels and heavy storms is daily news. The ComCoast project (COMbined functions in the COASTal defence zones) is originated by ten organisations out of five European countries bordering the North Sea coasts in order to develop innovative solutions for flood protection in coastal areas. Instead...master thesis 2007

Mous, B.C. (author)Against the background of enhanced hydraulic loads due to climate change there will be a need for improvement of the flood defence system in the Netherlands in the future. These days there is a growing interest in grass as a dike cover because it is a cheap and a sustainable dike protection. Yet at the moment there is a hiatus in the knowledge...master thesis 2010

Kolenberg, Y. (author)The SLOPE3 project investigates the depositional architecture of a Permian age, deep water / complex channelized slope system which is of interest to the oil industry as a potential analogue for real oil / gas reservoirs. This study forms a part of the SLOPE3 project and is focused on an integration of cores and wireline logs from six research...master thesis 2011

Guo, J. (author)This thesis presents a Delay Locked Loop(DLL) based Single Slope ADC. Compared to the convertional Single Slope ADC, the readout speed is increased by 16 times. A DLL is designed with a start-controlled Phase Frequency Detector (PFD), a differential ended Charge Pump (CP) and fully differential Delay Cells (DC). The multi-stage comparator with...master thesis 2011

Van Doorn, R. (author)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...master thesis 2012

Van Toorenenburg, K.A. (author)As hydrocarbons become scarcer, submarine channelised slope systems have become a focus of exploration due to their reservoir potential. Outcrops of both levee-confined (Unit C) and entrenched (Unit D) channel systems are exposed in the Permian Fort Brown Formation, Karoo Basin, South Africa and have been extensively studied and interpreted....master thesis 2012

Bleeker, V.R. (author)To ensure efficient and reliable operation of power amplifiers it is very important to precisely measure and control the power of the signal they transmit. A device most often used to do precise power measurements of RF systems is the so-called RF power detector. As this detector is used as measurement device the precise measurement ability of...master thesis 2012

Meijer, L.A. (author)Deep-marine slope and base-of-slope hydrocarbon reservoirs are difficult to model and produce because of their size and complex nature. The oil and gas industry focuses on easily producible reservoirs in channelized deposits, thereby leaving considerable volumes in the more heterogeneous external levees and lobes. This thesis is on how such...master thesis 2012

Wang, X. (author)In this work, an investigation into generic slope stability is carried out. The investigation takes into account slope parameters of height (H) and slope gradient (?) as well as material parameters of shear strength (vc) and spatial correlation length (?). A Monte Carlo analysis of many slopes with randomly generated shear strength parameters is...master thesis 2012

Meijer, L.J.J. (author)A continuous population growth and increasing energy demand combined with depleting traditional energy reserves puts a pressure on conventional methods of electricity generation. The desire and ambition to create a more sustainable society paves the way for the ‘renewables’. Hydropower or Hydroelectricity already plays a significant role in...master thesis 2012

Lu, S. (author)In the graduation lab Strategic Architectural Design Development (SADD), students will design a new UN Headquarters of Sustainability in New York City. Sustainable developments and measurements are being taken all over the world, in all sorts and kinds. Still many steps need to be taken and conflicting interests need to be solved, but the...master thesis 2013

Landa, P.M. (author)The Afsluitdijk is unable to withstand the future conditions that belong to an annual probability of occurrence of 1/10 000 per year for water level and wave conditions. Solution of Rijkswaterstaat is to strengthen the dike according to the principle of the wave overtopping resilient dike (NL: Overslagbestendige dijk). Therefore the Afsluitdijk...master thesis 2014

Verhoef, R.M. (author)The subject of this master's thesis stems from a lack of design rules in the current regulations for dolphins located in sloping ground. Dolphins are very common objects in Dutch waterways, of which a large part are located in sloping ground. The lack of design rules causes difficulties between clients and contractors, possible unfavourable...master thesis 2015
