Van der Hoeven, R. (author)In many coastal engineering problems the application of coastal structures to resolve these problems seems to be a proper solution. In a lot of cases, however, the implementation of coastal structures does not lead to the expected situation. Erosion management operations may have unwanted impacts on a coastal system. Decisions on the most...master thesis 2010

Van de Leur, K. (author)It is common practice to protect subsea pipelines by embedding them into the soil. Trenches can be made before or after the pipelines have been laid. In the latter case, the excavation process is called post-trenching. The essence of post-trenching, as handled in this thesis, is erosion of sand by a water-jet. The literature study focused on the...master thesis 2010

IJsebaert, T. (author)During the execution of reclamation projects by Boskalis, often a temporary work channel and basin are required. This work channel is used by the dredging equipment to reach the project site as close as possible. The project site is often located in very shallow water which makes a channel necessary. The basin is used to transport the dredged...master thesis 2010

Van den Bosch, I.C. (author)Wave fields in the close vicinity of a coastal structure can be very complex, this is especially the case during extreme storm conditions and for complex geometries. There is a growing interest for numerical simulation tools capable of predicting in detail the complex hydrodynamic loads due to waves and currents and its effect at structures. In...master thesis 2010

Den Arend, D.E. (author)Piles subjected to horizontal soil displacements are a common phenomenon at constructions next to soil embankments, for example an abutment of a bridge. Shell factors play an important role in the analysis of these piles with 2-dimensional (2D) design methods. This study investigates if the limitations of a 2D method, in relation to the 3...master thesis 2010

Moerman, E. (author)With the construction of a process-based long-term morphological model (Delft3D) for the Mouth of the Columbia River (MCR), a first approach is made in trying to simulating the long-term morphodynamics of the MCR. Focus is on simulating the observed morphological changes for the post-jetty period of 1926-1958. The model is supplied with a high...master thesis 2010

Grotegoed, D. (author)In this thesis, an investigation is described to the measured horizontal displacements of a quay wall in the Port of Rotterdam. This quay wall was built in 2003 to replace an existing jetty. A combined tubular wall was installed and some of the concrete jetty piles were reused as foundation piles for the relieving platform. Anchorage for the...master thesis 2010

Den Bieman, J. (author), Van den Koppel, M. (author), Van Velzen, G. (author), Verbruggen, W. (author)One of the branches of the Paraná delta is the Paraná de las Palmas River. This branch doesn’t have the biggest discharge but has the most navigation. The situation in the Paraná de las Palmas isn’t without problems though; the river banks show erosion over the whole length of the branch. This erosion has been investigated by the following...student report 2010

(author)One week the students stay in the Bulgarian village St. Konstantin, near Varna, at the Black Sea. The main goal of the fieldwork is learn how to deal with problems occurring at data collection and the elaboration and interpretation of the collected data. Several coastal measurements are executed at a couple of beaches and their accompanying...student report 2010

Van der Linde, P. (author)During the fall of 2003, an extensive measurement campaign called the “Nearshore Canyon Experiment” (NCEX) was set up along the coast of La Jolla, California. The project site covered an area in which two submarine canyons are located, respectively La Jolla and Scripps Submarine Canyon. Over 20 institutions collaborated on recording the...master thesis 2010

(author)After giving a short general introduction on the area and the general problems in that area, this report starts with an extensive list of relevant boundary conditions for the Jabodetabek area in chapter 2. The most notable parts of this chapter are the large subsidence for Jakarta and the river discharges in the Jabodetabek area. While still...student report 2010

Van der Giessen, H.J. (author)There is a growing cruise market. To accommodate the growth of cruise shipping in North-West Europe, the developers Consortium ‘Cruiseport The Hague’ wants to construct an outer harbour at Scheveningen; to this day, the harbour of Scheveningen is not able to receive today’s large cruise ships. Obviously, a cruise mooring facility has to be...master thesis 2010

Van der Hoog, C. (author)De provincie Zuid-Holland wil de bereikbaarheid van de regio waarborgen en daarom het goederenvervoer over water stimuleren. Dit afstudeeronderzoek bevat een netwerkanalyse om de knelpunten bloot te leggen. Het aanbod van de infrastructuur heeft beperkingen. Vernauwingen, krappe bruggen, scherpe bochten en spitsuursluitingen zorgen er voor dat...master thesis 2010

Topal, M. (author)This thesis shows two methods of Extending the Coastline, namely Manmade Islands and Manmade Peninsulas. It explains the importance of coastline in urban development and for human beings. Previous practices of coastal extension in different parts of the world and related literature are studied. The thesis investigates the social, economic and...master thesis 2010

Monden, M. (author)Due to growing human activity in coastal zones, there is an increasing stress on salt marshes all over the world. These intertidal wetlands were often seen as coastal ‘wasteland’ and large areas were reclaimed for urban development and agriculture. In Puget Sound, a system of interconnected marine waterways and basins in the northwest of the...master thesis 2010

Bardoel, J.W.S. (author)Rijkswaterstaat is responsible for maintaining the fairway of the river Waal for navigation for more than a hundred years. In the past problem areas, which cause hindrance for navigation and block the fairway, were prevented with structural measures. Dredging was used as a last resort. In 2005 the desired fairway depth was increased from BRV -2...master thesis 2010

Hoss, F. (author)Multilayered Safety (MLS) is seen as the next step in Dutch flood risk management. In the last decades the idea that only flood defenses can prevent floods gave way to the realization prevention can also be implemented along other lines, e.g. giving the rivers more space. The next thought was that next to preventing floods it should be possible...master thesis 2010
