English translation of ""Dynamisch gedrag van waterbouwkundige constructies". The subject is treated from the standpoint of hydrodynamics and applied mechanics, in which a certain knowledge of both fields of study is presupposed. The interaction phenomena are discussed on that basis. The subject matter is not treated exhaustively, but the book does present fundamental principles, making the rather specialist literature in this field more accessible. A good overview of the available sources in the field of dynamic loading caused by flowing fluid and flow-induced vibrations may be found in Naudascher (1991 and 1994). Little attention is given to offshore structures; other manuals already extensively discuss the response of these to flow and waves (e.g. Blevins (1990), Hooft (1982) and Patel (1989)). In putting this book together, a choice was made for a subdivision into three parts, which may be used independently. The first part focuses on vibrations caused by flow, the second discusses wave impacts and the third deals with research and calculation methods. The third part goes into these matters more deeply than the first two; by nature, the first two parts constitute a general introduction. When designing structures it is of prime importance that not one single cause of (great) dynamic loads is overlooked. Though arbitrary to some extent, a systematic division into types of dynamic load has therefore been made. Provided the limitations of this are understood, these may be used as a checklist.
