Optimal design of support structure including foundation and turbine tower is among the most critical challenges for offshore wind turbine. With development of offshore wind industry heading for deeper ocean areas, new support structural concept such as a full lattice tower could be proven to be more advantageous than others when consideration...

In this thesis the position of tidal divides is studied by means of a simplified model and the Dutch Wadden Sea. To study the parameters influencing the location of the tidal divide, two basins are schematized to a rectangular channel with at each side an incoming tidal wave. These two incoming waves can differ in amplitude and have phase...

Breakwaters are important for the preservation and development of coastal areas. Submerged breakwaters have significant advantages compared to emerged, such as economical construction and preservation, milder effect on landscape and under conditions, preservation of marine flora and fauna inside it. The main objective of this study is to give...

In today’s cutting costs environment in the offshore wind industry, significant achievements can be made with a better assessment of dynamic soil-pile interaction. More knowledge regarding the contribution of the dynamic soil-pile interaction to damping of an offshore wind turbine structure (OWT) could perceptibly reduce the fabrication costs of...

There is a chance that storm surges occurring in coastal areas cause overtopping over wide crested dikes. The overtopping water results in a hydrodynamic load on the structures built on top of the crest. This is for example the case at the Belgian coast where houses and hotels are constructed on top of the dike crest. In this study, physical...

The Slufter is a large scale disposal facility for contaminated dredged material from the Dutch rivers, channels and harbour basins. It is located in the Rotterdam harbour, on the south-western tip of the Maasvlakte. Since the Slufter was built in 1987, the supply of contaminated dredged material has decreased significantly. As a result, it will...

Analytical and numerical analysis of laboratory-scale shear box experiments on ice rubble have been performed. The experiments were done at NTNU in 2010 (Serré et al., 2011 and Repetto and Høyland, 2011). Three phases in the force-time history of the tests were identified (similar to what Serré et al., 2011 did). The first phase lasted about 2...

Coastal lagoons are shallow coastal water bodies separated from the ocean by a barrier and they support a range of natural services that are highly valued by society, including but not limited to fisheries productivity, storm protection, and tourism. Songkhla lagoon is the largest lagoonal water resource in Thailand and Southeast Asia. The...

Access channels (entrance channels) to ports are a relevant part of port facilities, and they have a strong influence on the port operations as well. However, little information is available about their analysis and design regarding the wave interaction with access channels. This study is focused on the interaction of waves with entrance...

The Langmann reservoir is part of the hydropower system in the river Teigitsch and in the reservoir loss of storage volume occurs. The reservoir was therefore flushed, but recently no permission is granted. The reason is the high sediment concentrations that have negative effects on the downstream region. An optimization of the flushing...

Accelerating rising sea levels, aging coastal defences, and an ever increasing demand for land along the coast, require imminent, reactive, as well as long-term, anticipatory, adaptation by society. One such, relatively novel adaptation strategy, is managed realignment. Managed realignment site selection being non-standardised, this has, to date...

As a good rule of thumb, one-line models have been in use for a wide range of coastal projects for the past 30 years to predict the beach morphological change and make the appropriate shoreline management plans. Though applied to many coastal sites with certain success, these models are still under further development so as to achieve better...

Clean Green energy is being desired all over the globe. It gives cleaner world and healthier environment to live. Most of the green energy resources such as tidal and wave are freely available in large amount and also sustainable. On the other hand, the energy demand is increasing along with population growth. Therefore, researchers are...

Natural and man made embayment beaches are a common feature along the Catalan coast. Many of these embayment beaches have experience changes in shoreline position jeopardizing the protective and recreational functions of the beach. Therefore, an understanding of the morphological variability of this system is needed in order to facilitate an...

The objective of this work is the understanding of the development and possible impacts of the Sand Engine via a possible analogy with the Bornrif morphodynamics. The Sand Engine is the pilot project for a new nourishment technology (the mega nourishment), which consists of nourishing a huge amount of sand at once and let the nature spread it....

Sea level is rising across the UK and this is expected to accelerate and to increase coastal flood risk over the 21st century. Southampton is one of the busiest and most important national ports, but coastal flooding has not been studied extensively before. This dissertation aims to investigate the likelihood of coastal flooding in Southampton...

A way to equalize granular rockfill dumps at a sea or river bed is the use of a plough. A plough can be modeled as a set of straight blades in sequence. Several cutting models for dry and saturated sand are present in the literature. In cutting coarse material, the increase in pore water pressures caused by dilatancy of the grain structure play...

The barrier islands in the Gulf of Mexico are regularly exposed to hurricanes, one of the main functions of the islands is to protect the mainland. Due to climate change the frequency and intensity of hurricanes is expected to change, which may affect the long term evolution of the islands. In this study these long term (decadal) morphological...

In 2008 Hurricane Ike flooded large parts of the barrier islands in front of the Galveston Bay near Houston, Texas. The storm surge also entered the bay through the inlets causing great damage along the bay and the port of Houston. Because of the high probability that a hurricane would strike again the “Ike Dike” was developed. The concept...
