Mulder, B. (author), La Rocca, G. (author), Schut, J. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author)A short lead time of the Product Development Process (PDP) is an important competitive advantage for companies. Design automation solutions provide a means to reduce the lead time and improve quality, but their development requires some investment. Before a company can commit to the development of an automation initiative, it requires an...conference paper 2015

Bosman, G. (author), Van der Meer, J.W. (author), Hoffmans, G. (author), Schüttrumpf, H. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)Recently, formulae have been derived for maximum flow depths and velocities on the crest and inner slope of dikes or levees at wave overtopping. Two independent physical model test programs in different wave flumes showed, however, a large difference in the results. The present paper clarifies this discrepancy and shows that the empirical...conference paper 2008

Louwersheimer, W.F. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Olthof, J. (author)During the construction of the first Dutch offshore wind farm prototype measurements were performed. These measurements were aimed to monitor the behaviour of the granular filter layer of the scour protection around the mono-piles upon which the wind turbines are founded. These measurements were compared to scale model test results and...conference paper 2007

Crum, S. (author), Van der Hoeven, M.L.E.B. (author), Krouwel, L.P.H.C. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)Quantifying the penetration depth of a dragging anchor on a horizontal layer of rockfill provides the possibility to optimize the layer thickness of rockfill layers with a protective function. Current research on this subject is limited and is often aimed at anchor capacities in sand and clay. Penetration behaviour in rockfill is mainly...conference paper 2015

Verhagen, H.J. (author)In physical model tests there is often a need of preventing stones from moving. This can be achieved by gluing the stones. Applying PBA (Polyurethane Bonded Agregate, e.g. Elastocoast) guarantees no moving stones, a normal permeability and a transportable model.conference paper 2014

Verhagen, S. (author), Teunissen, P.J.G. (author), Odijk, D. (author)The coming decade will bring a proliferation of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) that are likely to enable a much wider range of demanding applications compared to the current GPS-only situation. One such important area of application is single-frequency real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning. Presently, however, such systems lack real...conference paper 2009

Allsop, N.W.H. (author), Cork, R.S. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)This paper introduces a co-operative project between HR Wallingford UK (HRW) and Delft University of Technology, Netherlands, (TUD) to develop, populate, and then to apply a database on all major breakwaters around the world. It builds on, and revives, similar initiatives that originate in the late 1970s. The paper describes the objectives in...conference paper 2009

(author)When longshore sediment transport is interrupted by a construction along a coast, e.g harbour moles or a dredged approach channel, the equilibrium of the coastline may be disturbed. When the disruption is caused by breakwaters, the longshore transport that is held back will cause accretion updrift of the breakwaters and erosion downdrift of them...conference paper 1981

Hai, T.L. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)Many dike failures have been ignited by damage due to erosion on the landward slopes. This paper investigates how grass covered slopes perform when being attacked by overtopping flow during storm surges. Based on observations during a number of simulator tests, damage is classified into three types 'head-cut', 'roll-up' and 'collapse' depending...conference paper 2014

Tsimopoulou, V. (author), Kanning, W. (author), Voortman, H.G. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)One of the failure mechanisms of a rubble mound breakwater is the failure of its armour layer. In order to determine the stability of an armour layer, the design load has to be defined, which is in fact the wave that attacks the structure. Being a highly stochastic phenomenon, the wave action is not easily defined, while there is always some...conference paper 2011

Verhagen, H.J. (author)In a classical design approach to breakwaters a design wave height is determined, and filled in into a design formula. Some undefined safety is added. In the method using partial safety coefficients (as developed by PIANC [1992] and recently also adopted by the Coastal Engineering Manual of the US Army Corps of Engineers [CEM [2003]) the degree...conference paper 2003

Verhagen, H.J. (author)Some twenty years ago WIS-dredging has been developed in the Netherlands. By injecting water into the mud layer, the water content of the mud becomes higher, it becomes fluid mud and will start to flow. The advantages of this system are that there is no need of transporting the mud in a hopper, and no need for a pipeline. Also from an energetic...conference paper 2000

Verhagen, H.J. (author)Because of problems with the design guidelines produced by PIANC for armoured slopes under attack by bowthrusters, additional work has been done in the Netherlands. On the basis of this work computational rules have been developed. However, because of the increase of bowthruster power, more detailed knowledge is needed on the effect of a...conference paper 2001

Heineke, D. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)To assess the hydraulic performance of coastal structures - viz. wave run-up, overtopping and reflection - and to evaluate the stability of the armour layers, use is made of the dimensionless surf similarity parameter, as introduced by Battjes (1974). The front side slope of the structure and the wave steepness are combined in this parameter,...conference paper 2007
