Probabilistic design of the renovation of the Afsluitdijk

An adaptive pumping station at the Afsluitdijk

The degradation of infrastructure and sea level rise cause the existing discharge capacity of the Stevin and Lorentz sluices at the Afsluitdijk to be insufficient. This thesis focuses on the design of a new discharge facility at the Afsluitdijk with the possibility to anticipate on the changing conditions at both the IJsselmeer and Wadden Sea....

Wave Overtopping Resilient 'Afsluitdijk': Design Procedures for Landward Slope Erosion Stability during Large Overtopping Volume Events

The Afsluitdijk is unable to withstand the future conditions that belong to an annual probability of occurrence of 1/10 000 per year for water level and wave conditions. Solution of Rijkswaterstaat is to strengthen the dike according to the principle of the wave overtopping resilient dike (NL: Overslagbestendige dijk). Therefore the Afsluitdijk...
