The high erosion resistance of grass swards on c1ay dykes seems to be largely determined by the amount of roots and the root system architecture. Following on previous studies on river dykes which revealed high root densities and erosion resistance in unfertilised pastures and hay-meadows, we experimentally investigated the influence of...

The purpose of this paper is to present the hydraulic problems relating to the computation of hurricane surge, hurricane waves, runup of the waves for providing hurricane flood protection at Texas City, Texas, as well as the effects of rainfall upon the protected area during periods of normal and high tides. The problems of providing protection...

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...

It is now accepted that the combination of more intense rainfall, poor planning of built-up areas, rising sea levels, coastal erosion and, in particular, higher storm surges pose a real threat to the UK and many other countries. At a meeting at the Institution of Civil Engineers held on 7 July 2003, the Government Chief Scientist Professor David...

Na 75 jaar is de Afsluitdijk toe aan en flinke opknapbeurt, concludeert het kabinet in de Watervisie uit 2007. Het kabinet wil weten of er, als er dan toch opgeknapt moet worden niet méér kan. Of een betere veiligheid te combineren valt met bijvoorbeeld natuur, duurzaam opwekken van energie of betere verbindingen voor wegverkeer en scheepvaart....

A 1-to-25 scale physical model of a typical cross section of the levee along the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (MRGO) was con-structed at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory in Vicksburg, MS. The purpose of the physical model was to obtain hydrodynamic measurements of unsteady flow...

Old dikes are usually still constructed entirely from clay and since 1953 many much heavier dikes have been made from a core of sand with a covering. This construction puts heavier requirements on the covering, as it also does for grassland on a clay layer. These and other developments have led to the need for more insight into the strength of...

The manual has been intended to assist engineers who are already aware of the general principles and methods of coastal engineering. The manual uses methods and data from research studies around Europe and overseas so readers are expected to be familiar with wave and response parameters and the use of empirical equations for prediction. Users...

This report is a compilation of facts and information that summarizes the present state of knowledge related to wave attack on the flood side of earthen levees. Particular emphasis was placed on the need for providing flood-side armoring (beyond the protection afforded by grass) for the New Orleans Hurricane & Storm Damage Risk Reduction System ...
