document: Time-dependent development of Backward Erosion Piping
Pol, J.C. (author)
Structural flood protection systems such as levees are an important component in flood risk reduction strategies. Levees can fail through various failure mechanisms; this thesis focuses on the mechanism Backward Erosion Piping (BEP) which occurs when a sandy levee foundation is eroded by groundwater flow. To assess whether a levee's reliability...

document: Fine-tuning the evaluation of suffusion of silt-sand-gravel soils – a comparative study of LTU and UNSW tests: (Paper and Abstract)
Rönnqvist, H. (author)
Swedish embankment dams are usually constructed with core soils of glacial till. A widely graded soil sourced from moraine deposits, till comprises many fractions, from silt and sand to gravel and stones, all crushed and mixed by the action of glaciation. Interestingly, this type of soil is remarkably similar to that in other parts of the world...

document: Internal erosion in dams and dikes: a comparison: (Paper and Abstract)
Koelewijn, A.R. (author), Bridle, R. (author)
Dams and dikes are both water-retaining earth embankments. These are vulnerable to internal erosion but specific differences lead to varying vulnerabilities to different types of internal erosion: • Dams are usually zoned, with potential filtering capability to arrest piping if it is initiated, while dikes are more commonly unzoned and incapable...

document: Establishing the environmental flow regime for the Middle Zambezi River
Mwelwa-Mutekenya-Mwelwa, E. (author)
The Middle Zambezi, host to a rich biodiversity, is located in the central part of the Zambezi River Basin which covers eight Southern African Countries. The area is located downstream of three hydropower schemes. In the last decades, the floodplain riparian tree, the Faidherbia albida, vital for the local wild life, has shown a worrying...

document: Dijk en meer: Eindrapportage verkenning Toekomst Afsluitdijk
Anonymus, A. (author)
Na 75 jaar is de Afsluitdijk toe aan en flinke opknapbeurt, concludeert het kabinet in de Watervisie uit 2007. Het kabinet wil weten of er, als er dan toch opgeknapt moet worden niet méér kan. Of een betere veiligheid te combineren valt met bijvoorbeeld natuur, duurzaam opwekken van energie of betere verbindingen voor wegverkeer en scheepvaart....

document: Design of closure works
Verhagen, H.J. (author)
This chapter discusses the design aspects of estuary and river closures and those of reservoir dams and certain other hydraulic structures. The focus of this chapter is on closures, not on the situation after the closure has been completed.
