Rijkenberg, L. (author)This thesis provides a first draft of a one-dimensional model of the Nhat Le River Basin. The model is almost ready for use due to the short period of time. The model requires at least an adequate calibration before using. With this thesis a first start has been made. Eventually, with the model, the probability of water levels in the Nhat Le...student report 2013

Van Mechelen, J. (author)Multifunctional use of the flood defences is as old as the flood defences themselves. Historically infrastructure, housing and livestock are located on the flood defences. Over the years, the cities along the rivers became bigger and bigger. With the still increasing demand for spatial development it is inevitable to also start combining other...master thesis 2013

Galema, A. (author)This thesis has as subject the shielding effect of piles on the front wall of quay walls. The reason for writing this paper is to find an answer to the difference between field measurements and design calculations of stresses and deflections in the front wall of a special type of quay wall in the Port of Rotterdam. The relevance of this issue...master thesis 2013

Riezebos, H.J. (author)This MSc thesis report discusses a greenfield deep-sea port development in a developing country along a shallow oceanic coast. A port layout is developed based on a fictional cargo forecast. In the interest of port adaptivity, this layout is kept flexible as possible. The design is subsequently checked with regard to wave penetration and...master thesis 2013

Kerssens, P.A. (author)The distance between marinas along the Dutch coast is large. By building marinas on strategic locations along the coast, sailing times can be reduced significantly. However, building marinas bordering the North Sea is expensive due to the lack of sheltering from waves. Hook of Holland is such a strategic location, located at a distance of 30...master thesis 2013

Maan, S.M. (author)At the entrance of the IJzer River estuary in Belgium a storm surge barrier is being constructed. This raises a couple questions: At what safety level can the barrier best be built? What barrier type suits the specific site conditions the best? What are the consequences of a storm surge barrier at that location, and how can they be solved? This...master thesis 2013

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

Brouwer, M.F. (author)This thesis tests the influence of the under layer profile on the stability of the armour layer of concrete interlocking armour units. The analysis is aimed to offer insight into the influence of different under layer profiles on the stability of the armour layer. Furthermore the thesis includes a test of the design guideline of the under layer...master thesis 2013

Fuhrhop, H. (author)The Mississippi River is one of the most engineered rivers in the world. Levees, bank revetments and training dikes ensure navigability and safety against ?ooding. Construction of dams in the upstream branches led to a decay in sediment supply of 70% during the last 100 years. Due to man-made constrictions, more sediment is spilled out in the...master thesis 2013

Willems, J.A. (author)At the construction of 'Maasvlakte 2' in 2012, two sand closures were constructed. Sand is in most cases the most profiting construction material. The processes and the amount of sand losses which occur during the construction of a closure contain large uncertainties. In order to construct a closure, the production of sand has to be larger than...master thesis 2013
