Optimising the functionality of smart quay walls using measurement data obtained during the construction process: A case study in the port of Rotterdam: HHTT-quay

Quay walls are often designed with Finite Element models (FE models) to take into account the complex soil-structure interaction and highly non-linear soil behaviour. These are complex models that rely on many input parameters that have uncertainties. Nowadays, new quay walls are often equipped with sensors that collect information about the...

Timber Creep of Historic Urban Quay Walls: The influence of timber creep on the assessment of inner-city quay walls

Amsterdam and many other cities consist of a network of old quay walls, which sometimes have been constructed over a century ago. A large uncertainty exists concerning the current safety of these quay walls and their remaining service lifetime. In the current framework for the assessment of old urban quay walls, the influence of timber creep in...
