Quy, N. M. (author), Łazuga, Kinga (author), Gucma, Lucjan (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)This paper presents an attempts towards creation of generalized models of ships manoeuvring area determination and ship performance created on the base of real simulation results. Those models are needed for better understanding of the safe navigation process in ports areas and its approaches and for risk analysis when no full information...journal article 2020

Kramer, Gert Jan (author), Arts, Twan (author), Urai, Janos L. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author), Huynen, Jan M.H. (author)We review the status of a 1.4 GW, 8 GWh underground pumped hydro storage (U-PHS) project in the southern Netherlands, which has been under development since the 1980s. Its history shows how the prospect of a large-scale U-PHS for The Netherlands (a country whose proverbial flatness prohibits PHS) has been attractive in every decade, based on...journal article 2020

Lendering, K.T. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author), van Ledden, Mathijs (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)Flood risk reduction can be provided by interventions such as raising land or constructing flood defences. This paper introduces an approach to optimise the selection of risk reduction strategies. It expands existing economic optimization approaches for flood defences, by introducing (largely) analytical formulations to include the effects of...journal article 2020

Voorendt, M.Z. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author), Voortman, HG (author)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...conference paper 2017

Vrijling, J.K. (author)Over the ages delta areas have greatly benefitted their inhabitants. They generally provide fertile soils, rich fishing grounds and easy water transport, which facilitates trade. These natural resources stimulated population growth and made deltas densely populated areas. The threat of flooding by storm surges at...book chapter 2017

Le, H.T. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)Grass covers have been applied as an effective measure for protecting river levees and sea dikes. We conducted experiments to show how roots considerably improve the shear strength of soil on dike slopes. Roots of 1-year-old Bermuda and Carpet grass may increase the total shear strength of up to 20 kPa. Exposed to severe overtopping flow, dike...journal article 2016

Tsimopoulou, V. (author), Kok, M. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)After the flood disaster of 1953, the Netherlands adopted a rational approach to flood risk management with the use of protection standards determined by means of cost-benefit analysis. Due to scientific and political developments that have recently taken place, an update of the Dutch protection standards is being undertaken. One of the major...journal article 2015

(author), Hulscher, S.J.M.H. (author), Lansen, A.J. (author)This paper explores an alternative method to determine extreme surge levels at the Dutch Coast. For this exploration, specific focus is on the extreme water level at Hoek van Holland, The Netherlands. The alternative method has been based on a joint probability model of the storm characteristics at the North Sea. The intent of this method is to...conference paper 2014

Hong, S.T. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author), Stive, M.J.F.

However, the structures constructed in small rivers according to local or traditional technology revealed many disadvantages related to the economical, evacuation and...conference paper 2013

Tsimopoulou, V. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author), Kok, M. (author), Jonkman, S.N. (author), Stijnen, J.W. (author)Recent experience of large-scale water disasters such as Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake and Tsunami in 2011 has reminded mankind that disasters cannot be ruledout. Unprecedented low-probability events can happen even in the most well monitored areas, causing major social-economic disruption. Failing to prepare...conference paper 2013

Vrijling, J.K. (author)The application of the “safety chain” consisting of proaction, prevention, preparation, repression/mitigation, recovery and learning will be studied in this paper. The chain appears to be a multi layer system, that is at least as safe as the safest layer. It will additionally be observed that the effectiveness of resources spent in prevention is...conference paper 2013

(author)To guarantee a safe flood defence in a changing environment, the adaptation to climate change needs to be considered in the design of river dikes. However, the large uncertainty in the projections of future climate leads to varied estimations of future flood probability. How to cope with the uncertainties in future flood probability under...conference paper 2013

In the final design stage a detailed 1-or 2-dimensional mathematical model is necessary to describe water levels and flow in the branches of the estuary system. The authors plea for the use of simple, first-order...conference paper 2012

The approach accounts for the determination of both the probability of failure and its associated consequences. The probability of failure is estimated by fitting the historical data of failure of the pipeline into either a...journal article 2012

Ranasinghe, R. (author), Jongejan, R.B. (author), Callaghan, D. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)Current methods used to determine Coastal setback lines have several limitations. Furthermore, the historical practice of defining setback lines based on a single deterministic estimate is also proving inadequate with the emergence of risk management style coastal planning frameworks which require probabilistic estimates of coastal recession....conference paper 2012
