Masfara, La ODE Marzujriban (author), Weemstra, C. (author)The Hamiltonian Monte Carlo algorithm is known to be highly efficient when sampling high-dimensional model spaces due to Hamilton's equations guiding the sampling process. For weakly non-linear problems, linearizing the forward problem enhances this efficiency. This study integrates this linearization with geological prior knowledge for...journal article 2024

Broman, Casper (author)After overtopping, the most common failure mechanism in the world that leads to a dike breach is the instability of the inner slope. Two stability calculations are required for the semi-probabilistic assessment of inner slope stability. One calculation is without significant overtopping and the other calculation is with significant overtopping...master thesis 2023

den Heijer, F. (author), Kok, M. (author)Dikes are an effective flood risk reduction measure in deltaic areas. Present risk analyses consist often of decoupled calculations of probabilities of dike failure and calculation of consequences of flooding given dike failure. However, the flood defense design determines not only the probability of failure, but influences the consequences...journal article 2022

MASTROGIANNI, SOFIA (author)Radiotherapy is among the most popular modalities used for cancer treatment. Proton therapy is a promising kind of radiotherapy, which uses protons characteristic maximum dose deposition to a specific tissue depth, for precise tumor irradiation. However, in comparison to conventional photon radiotherapy, proton therapy is sensitive to more...master thesis 2021

van den Boomen, M. (author), Bakker, H.L.M. (author), Schraven, D.F.J. (author), Hertogh, M.J.C.M. (author)In the Netherlands, probabilistic life cycle cash flow forecasting for infrastructures has gained attention in the past decennium. Frequencies, volume and unit prices of life cycle activities are treated as uncertainty variables for which an expert-based triangular distribution is assumed. The current research observes the absence of time...journal article 2020

De Nie, R.C. (author)The increasing demand for electricity offers many opportunities for renewable energy production, of which one alternative is tidal stream energy. Several feasibility studies have shown that the global tidal stream energy potential can contribute significantly to producing renewable energy. This tidal energy can mostly be produced at the 'tidal...master thesis 2016

Jongerius, Y.R. (author)In this research the reliability of dikes are studied that are influenced by the presence of buildings. Along many Dutch dikes (residential) buildings are present. These buildings may influence the reliability of the dike positevely and or negatively. In this study a probabilistic method is developed to determine the influence of a building,...master thesis 2016

Hellebrandt, L (author), Blom, C.B.M. (author), Steenbergen, RDJM (author)In the coming years numerous existing traffic bridges in cities are subject to re-evaluation. In this paper a new probabilistic traffic load model for short-span bridges is proposed. As an example, site-specific weigh-in-motion data from Rotterdam, the Netherlands, is included in the model. The method proposed in this paper allows for a very...journal article 2016

Oosterlo, P. (author)In this thesis, a method was developed, with which the infragravity waves and morphological changes of a sandy foreshore are included in the calculation of the probability of dike failure due to wave overtopping. Constructing a natural foreshore in front of the dike can be an attractive and innovative method to decrease the failure probability....master thesis 2015

Paasche, H. (author)Geophysical imaging techniques, such as seismic crosshole tomographic methods, provide spatially continuous information about physical parameter variations in the ground. This physical parameter information, e.g., distribution of seismic velocities, is frequently used to estimate spatial distributions of geotechnical target parameters that could...conference paper 2015

Akbas, B. (author), Huvaj, N. (author)This paper compares the results of different probabilistic approaches and emphasizes the necessity of probabilistic analyses in slope stability studies. To do that, Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) and Finite Element Method (FEM) are utilized and their outputs are compared in terms of probability of failure (PF), reliability index (RI), factor of...conference paper 2015

Pol, J.C. (author), Barneveld, H.J. (author), Morales Napoles, O. (author), Schielen, R.M.J. (author)Design water levels are needed for the design of flood defences along the Dutch river Meuse. Current practise is that these water levels are determined by hydrodynamic simulation of a standard design hydrograph at the upstream gauging station Borgharen. The peak discharge of this synthetic hydrograph is based on a frequency analysis of the 100...conference paper 2015

Lendering, K.T. (author)Historically the Netherlands have always had to deal with the threat of flooding, both from the rivers and the sea as well as from heavy rainfall. The country consists of a large amount of polders, which are low lying areas of land protected from flooding by embankments. These polders require an extensive water storage and drainage system to...report 2015

Leontaris, G. (author)During the past years a lot of attention has been drawn towards the development of renewables, due to the expected depletion of fossil fuels and political decisions. Offshore wind energy is considered as one of the most promising renewable energy sources, however the cost of offshore wind farms have not yet reached competitive levels. Hence...master thesis 2015

Van Loon, P.S.P. (author)During this research a method is developed for finding the cost optimal design of a sea dike when a probabilistic method is being applied and flexibility is allowed in the distribution of the total failure probability over the various failure mechanisms. A probabilistic model has been set up to calculate the cost optimal design for a sea dike...master thesis 2014

Pol, J.C. (author)Design water levels are a basic concept in flood risk management practice. These water levels with a specified return period are used for the design of dikes and other flood protection measures along the river Meuse. Current practice is that these water levels are determined by hydrodynamic simulation of a standard design hydrograph at the...master thesis 2014

De Meijier, F. (author)Dutch national highway bridges have to cope with increasing traffic loads, causing steel bridges built in the 1970’s to suffer from fatigue problems. As a consequence there were assessments needed throughout the last decade to ensure safety. The resistance (strength) is relatively well understood compared to the loads that a bridge is subjected...master thesis 2014

Scheel, F. (author), De Boer, W.P. (author), Brinkman, R. (author), Luijendijk, A.P. (author), Ranasinghe, R.W.M.R.J.B. (author)A variety of uncertainty sources are inherent in process-based morphodynamic modelling applications. There is an increasing demand for the quantification of these uncertainties. This contribution introduces a probabilistic-morphodynamic (PM) modelling framework that enables this quantification. The PM modelling framework provides a systematic...conference paper 2014

Dobrochinski, J.P.H. (author)Large capital and maintenance dredging operations are required to ensure the accessibility of many ports. The expenses associated with the dredging operations can have a significant impact on the finances of these ports. Therefore, considerable attention to the design of the width and depth aspects of access channels is justifiable. This study...master thesis 2014

Bischiniotis, K. (author)This research follows a fully probabilistic approach in order to estimate the optimal design for a river dike cross-section, taking into account the investment costs. From the theory studied, the failure mechanisms that contribute most to the failure of river dikes are identified. These are overflowing, wave overtopping, piping and inner slope...master thesis 2014
