Tettero, M. (author)The Netherlands is not well protected against flooding and limited budget it available for improvements. Therefore, this research investigates in what way the cost-effectiveness of Dutch flood protection can be improved with the use of multifunctional unbreachable dykes. The multifunctional unbreachable dyke, a dyke combined with additional user...report 2013

Van Esch, J. (author)This report assesses the consequences of droughts and periods of heavy precipitation for embankments. The proposed assessment procedure couples an agro-meteorological model based on the Penmann-Monteith expression to a groundwater flow model based on Dupuit's approximation. This approach is justified by the fact that the flow process through the...report 2012

Gier, F. (author), Mönnich, J. (author), Schüttrumpf, H. (author), Van der Meer, J.W. (author)Revetments protect the shorelines of coasts, estuaries and rivers against wind wave, ship wave, current and ice attack. The resistance of revetments essentially depends on the properties of the cover layer. The resistance of interlocked pattern placed revetments depends on the weight of the individual stones and the interlocking. Extensive large...report 2011

(author)This study is part of a global study on the costs of adaptation to the effects of climate change. It adds information from three specific case studies (the Netherland, New Orleans and Vietnam) to the global study. The case study areas are comparable by type of coast; all are low-lying deltaic coastal areas. This study investigates the unit cost...report 2010
