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

Hughes, S.A. (author)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 ...report 2010

Anonymus, A. (author)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....report 2009

(author)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...report 2007

Salter, S. (author)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...report 2006

Pilarczyk, K.W. (author)As a low-lying and highly developed country, the Netherlands is continuously facing potential flooding disasters. Thats why we need strong safe water-retaining structures like sea and river-dikes. Moreover half of the country lies below mean high water level. Without dikes more than half of the country would be endangered by flooding. About 60%...report 2003
