This report investigates how embankments in Bangladesh could be upgraded with no or limited footprint increase. Many Bangladesh embankments need to be upgraded to improve flood protection. Traditionally, embankments are upgraded by adding more soil, heightening the crests while simultaneously widening the embankment maintain slope stability.<br/...

A lack of appropriate guidelines for the design and assessment hampers the development of multifunctional flood defenses like parking garages in quays and houses in dikes. The aim of the present paper, therefore, is to gain insight in the structural performance of multifunctional flood defenses and to provide a tool to evaluate design...

Multifunctional flood defences are structures that primarily protect land from being covered by water and simultaneously serve other purposes. The present dissertation focuses on the combination of flood protection with functions that are fulfilled by means of buildings and objects, with a high degree of structural integration. This can...

Multifunctional flood defenses combine several functions into a single system. Therefore, several disciplines need to be combined to design such complex systems. An “integrated design” is a collaborative method that combines several disciplines for designing systems or structures, emphasizing a ‘holistic’...

Flood risk reduction aims to minimize losses in low-lying areas. One of the ways to reduce flood risks is to protect land by means of flood defenses. The Netherlands has a long tradition of flood protection and, therefore, a wide variety of technical reports written and guidelines developed for designing and...

Katwijk aan Zee is a Dutch town on the North Sea, near the original mouth of the Rhine. At the end of the twentieth century, part of the town of Katwijk appeared to be insufficiently protected against storm surges from sea (Figure 2). About 3000 inhabitants were in fact exposed to risks that were higher than what...

Several alternative concepts could be developed that would integrate the structure of the Roof Park shopping complex with the flood defense. It is common practice in engineering to develop various concepts, keeping the project goal in mind. This is a creative process that should not be hampered by overly precise...

Een onderzoeksprogramma van de TU Delft, Universiteit van Twente en Wageningen Universiteit heeft diverse ontwerpaspecten van zogenoemde multifunctionele waterkeringen onder de loep genomen. Dit artikel belicht het technisch en ruimtelijk ontwerpproces van dergelijke keringen, en het betrekken van stakeholders in dit proces.

De organisatie voor Economische Samenwerking en Ontwikkeling schat dat in 2070 in grote havensteden wereldwijd 140 miljoen mensen en 30000 miljard euro aan economische waarde beschermd worden, Bescherming lijkt alleen mogelijk met multifunctionele waterkeringen.

Bij het ontwerp van multifunctionele waterkeringen spelen twee specifieke constructieve aspecten een rol: golfimpact en constructieve verificatie. Een onderzoeksprogramma van de TU Delft, Universiteit van Twente en Wageningen Universiteit heeft zich hierover gebogen.

In the context of urban planning, concepts of multiple land-use refer to situations were the existing space is more intensively used (Habiforum, cited in Hooimeijer et al, 2001). This can be achieved by morphological integration of functions (stacking of multiple functions in one building or construction), by...

The Roof Park ('Dakpark’) is an elevated park on a former railway yard in the Delfshaven quarter in Rotterdam. The park is located on top of the roof of a new shopping centre, which includes a parking garage (hence its name, ‘dak’ means ‘roof’). The park is the largest green roof in Rotterdam and one of the...

These lecture notes on caissons are part of the study material belonging to the course 'Hydraulic Structures 1' (code CTB3355), part of the Bachelor of Science education and the Hydraulic Engineering track of the Master of Science education for civil engineering students at Delft University of Technology. Many of the principles and engineering...

In practice, the disciplines of landscape architecture/urbanism and hydraulic engineering have become more specialized during the last decades, gradually growing apart. The gap between governance and ecology seems to have become even larger. This leads to discussions about who should take the lead in a design; and, if the design approach is not...

This report intends to stimulate the discussion about enhancing and tuning the application of the traditional method for engineering design projects for educational purposes at Delft University of Technology - and possibly for the engineering practice as well. It aims at creating awareness of putting the design activities in a logical order and...

This technical report sketches the main development of the flood defence system in the Netherlands. It concentrates on the establishment of the flood safety level and flood risk reduction strategies. First developments in the study of loading and soil properties until 1960 are described in Chapter 2. The storm surge of 1953 accelerated the...

Multif unctionele waterkeringen beschermen niet alleen het achterland tegen overstromingen (primair), maar hebben vaak een tweede belangrijke functie (secundair). Denk aan bebouwing op of in een dijk. De secundaire functie komt voort uit de toenemende druk op de ruimtelijke ontwikkeling in en rond steden aan het water. lnteressant is het als de...

De ruimte langs het water is gewild; we willen er wonen en werken, en er verdedigingswerken tegen het water bouwen. Het zou praktisch zijn als we verschillende functies konden combineren. Het afstudeeronderzoek van Jeroen van Mechelen (TU Delft) helpt wellicht een handje. Hij toonde aan dat het mogelijk is om een aantoonbaar veilige...
