 Abstract

The economic heart in the West of the Netherlands lies below sea level and is protected by waterdefences. The Dutch law on water defences requires that these vital dikes are evaluated every 5 years with regards the resistance against a super storm. If the dike does not satisfy the requirements immediate action is required. Over 400 kilometers of the Dutch sea dikes have an asphalt revetment (layer thickness mostly 200 - 300 mm) in the wave attack zone, because of the expected excellent performance of this structure in time. To obtain a scientific based design and evaluation method for asphalt dike revetments, the model GOLFKLAP (wave impact) has been developed.
