Broekema, Y. (author)Modelling tidal dynamics in mangrove systems is of great use in studying effects of vegetation on flow and may prove to be a useful tool to support the management of mangrove areas. Since there are lots of limitations on obtaining field data inside mangrove forests, numerical models are indispensable to analyse the effects of changes in mangrove...student report 2013

Van der Baan, A.L. (author)Shore-parallel submerged breakwaters (SBWs) appear as an attractive form of coastal protection. Compared to their emergent counterpart there is no impact on the beach amenity and aesthetics. In addition, there is a possibility for recreational purposes. However, the actual application of SBWs is often discouraged because the complexity of the...master thesis 2013

Tenthof van Noorden, C. (author), Vermeij, D. (author), Van Zuijlen, J. (author), Zeelenberg, W. (author)Manado, the capital city of North Sulawesi in Indonesia, is rapidly developing. The last years Manado has been extending into the sea, which changed the hydraulics and morphology of Manado Bay. This had negative effects on the currents, inducing erosion along the coast. Also Manado has problems with the presence of garbage in the rivers and...student report 2013

Klerk, W.J. (author)In the Netherlands flood risks are often assessed by using a dike ring approach. This approach has, aside from many advantages, also some disadvantages. The main disadvantage is that, when zooming in on a small area, the effect of the system on that small area and vice versa, is or cannot be accounted for properly. Research has shown that for a...master thesis 2013

Van Tilborg, R. (author)Het zuidwestelijke deel van dijkring 43 bestaat voornamelijk uit een dijk. Op deze dijk bevinden zich enkele huizen. In de derde toetsronde primaire waterkeringen is aangegeven dat de waterkering niet voldoet. Omdat het hier een zeer groot en divers dijktraject is, is ervoor gekozen een onderdeel te onderzoeken. Dit betreft een dijkelement...bachelor thesis 2013

Tavouktsoglou, N.S. (author)Wave transmission is a very important design parameter for submerged porous breakwater design, as it defines the dimensions of the breakwater as well as the cost and construction process. The spatial distribution of the wave transmission parameter influences the current pattern on the lee of the breakwater and therefore the sediment transport...master thesis 2013

Wijs, J.W.L. (author)The city of Itajaí is located in the province of Santa Catharina in Brazil. The people of Itajaí have been coping with flood risk for the past decades. During normal conditions the Itajaí-Açu River is a rather calm river that is used for navigation and the harbour area. Recovering from the past two floods in 2008 and 2011 have cost more than...master thesis 2013

Van den Heuvel, H.P.A. (author)Pipeline covers on the seabed are called near-bed structures which are generally made of rip rap. The crest height of a near-bed structure is such that waves do not break over it. Near-bed structures are used to protect pipelines against fishing equipment, ship anchors, dropped objects and preventing destabilizing of the pipeline. There are two...master thesis 2013

Van der Neut, E.M. (author), Van Zuylen, J.A. (author), Verduijn, M. (author), Nederhoff, C.M. (author), Van der Zwaag, J. (author)The Thua Thien-Hue province, and especially the area around the city of Hue, is characterized by a small distance between mountains in the west and a flat coast with a coastal barrier in the east. The largest river in the area, the Huong river, flows through the city of Hue and is used for fishery, tourism, sand mining, sewage system and...student report 2013

Van Blokland, J. (author), De Groot, P. (author), Rot, M. (author), Wieringa, S. (author), Wijnands, R. (author)In this multidisciplinary project a proposal for a framework for tsunami risk management in Chile, has been developed. This was done using Iquique in the north of Chile as a case study. Solutions for improvement of current practice have been searched within specific activity areas of hazard management: prediction, mitigation and response....student report 2013

Sirks, E.E. (author)A new approach in coastal maintenance is the application of a large scale nourishment as natural feeder of the coast. The Sand Motor constructed near Kijkduin on the Holland Coast is a pilot project of this new nourishment strategy. The objective of this research is to contribute to a better understanding of the sediment transport processes at...master thesis 2013

Biesheuvel, A.C. (author)From previous engineering projects it turned out that it is difficult to determine the transmitted wave height of floating breakwaters without performing physical models or using numerical models. In this thesis it is investigated which steps should be taken during the preliminary design process in order to predict the effectiveness (wave...master thesis 2013

Lopez Gumucio, J.P. (author)This MSc thesis focuses on two types of quay walls, namely the anchored quay wall without relieving structure and the quay wall with relieving structure. In the case of high retaining heights the anchored quay wall mostly consists of a combined sheet pile wall, which means that the wall is composed by tubular steel members that are connected by...master thesis 2013

Bodde, W.P. (author)Coral reefs are highly valuable structures in many respects and it is increasingly important to understand hydrodynamics and morphodynamics around reefs to be able to better protect them and their hinterland. Flume experiments were performed on a scaled fringing reef in the laboratory facilities of Deltares in Delft. The objective of this thesis...master thesis 2013

Kolijn, D. (author)The workshop is based around the development of a brand new port facility in Cameroon (West Africa) south of the Mboro cape at Kribi. The client supplied a large collection of data in order to perform a complete assessment of the area including a full metocean study, geotechnical investigation, breakwater and port facility design, vessel fleet...student report 2013

Van Cuyck, T.A.P. (author)De ecologische kwaliteit van het Markermeer is de laatste decennia sterk achteruit gegaan. De oorzaak hiervan is dat door de afsluiting van het Markermeer met de Houtribdijk een ondiep meer is ontstaan met een bodem van klei waarin een dynamische sliblaag aanwezig is. Al bij lage windsnelheden ontstaan golven die erosie van deze sliblaag...master thesis 2013

Rayo, S. (author)Two typical types of channels are identified on the PIANC rules (one and two-way channel) and a detailed set of rules for conceptual design purposes is presented. Nevertheless, no explicit definition about when to use which type of channel is provided. For assessing the performance of an access channel, a new simulation model is programmed. This...master thesis 2013

To prevent the city from this flooding, MARD set up plan 1547. The main idea of the plan is to build a ring dike around HCMC in combination with several movable tidal barriers. One of these barriers is the Muong Chuoi Barrier. In this report a conceptual design of the Muong...student report 2013

Van Erp, T.M.J. (author)Since the entrance of the Eurocode a lot of commotion emerged for the hydraulic engineer. The implementation of the Eurocode entailed a problem for the hydraulic structures that are part of the flood defense system. According the law, the locks that are part of the flood defense system should meet the requirements based on the most critical...master thesis 2013

Lin, C.H. (author)The yearly floods of the Mekong Delta caused by the Mekong River have been considered a blessing; it purifies the agricultural lands and deposits a fresh layer of silt on the surface, which keeps the delta fertile. However, the growing demand for agricultural products internationally and nationally has pushed the farmers to harvest all year long...master thesis 2013
