Modelling of planimetric/historical changes of the Geul river (The Netherlands)

This report presents the analyses and conclusions of a study on the planform evolution of the Geul river in the last 80 years. The results are compared with those of studies carried out by the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VUA). The Geul river is to tributary of the Meuse River (The Netherlands). It has been straightened and protected against...

Het effect van erosie en grondeigenschappen op het dynamisch gedrag van offshore windturbines betreffende stalen en betonnen monopile funderingen

Voor de opwekking van duurzame energie neemt het aandeel offshore windturbines stelselmatig toe, dit door de vele voordelen ten opzichte van landelijke windturbines. Het principe is overal hetzelfde; in de gondel wordt de mechanische energie wordt omgezet in elektrische energie. Hoe hoger de mast, hoe hoger de energieproductie omdat de...

Design of granular near-bed structures in waves and currents

Swell and wave-groups at Saldanha bay

Mooring problems are one of the most important issues in port construction and port operation when harbours are facing the open sea. Operational standards usually define that cargo handling for large vessels is possible when significant wave height is below some level, i.e., 0.5 [m]. However, several ports have reported mooring problems when the...

Neka Harbour: Seperate port development

Erosion processes on dike slopes

Erosion processes are divided in two parts, whereas first process is detachment process and second process is transport of detached soil. The main function of grass cover is to avoid detachment. Therefore certain strength is necessary to execute this assignment. Resistance of grass covers are affected by several parameters. The influencing...
