Stability of slope material affected by bow thrusters at open quay structures

In the last decades shipping has increased significantly, resulting in larger ships with an increasing power in bow thrusters. Due to this increasing power, the hydraulic loads at bottom protection near quay structures has also increased, making a traditional bed protection more expensive. Therefore an alternative design method is suggested in...

Transport van stenen van een granulaire bodemverdediging

Experimental research on the stability of bed protection and transport of stones on such a bottom protection. Investigated were the effects of duration and magnitude of the load, the shape, and placing density of the stones.
