Critch, S. (author), Goerlandt, F. (author), Montewka, J. (author), Kujala, P. (author)The implementation of the Finnish-Swedish winter navigation system has managed to increase the safe passage of merchant vessels in the Baltic Sea. However, there will always be risk associated with Baltic Sea winter navigation. Based upon IMOs Formal Safety Assessment; steps zero through two, this report will aim to provide a system description...conference paper 2013

Klerk, W.J. (author)In the Netherlands flood risks are often assessed by using a dike ring approach. This approach has, aside from many advantages, also some disadvantages. The main disadvantage is that, when zooming in on a small area, the effect of the system on that small area and vice versa, is or cannot be accounted for properly. Research has shown that for a...master thesis 2013

Sieswerda, S.F. (s.sieswerda@iterfidelis.com) (author)Port infrastructures play a major role in our society and strongly contribute to its sustainable development. Facing multiple stakes, port managers must secure safety, costs and availability. Due to ageing, the maintenance costs get bigger and bigger. This tendency increases with time. It is essential for managers to optimize the budget and the...conference paper 2010

Ten Veldhuis, J.A.E. (author)Urban flood risk analyses suffer from a lack of quantitative historical data on flooding incidents. Data collection takes place on an ad hoc basis and is usually restricted to severe events. The resulting data deficiency renders quantitative assessment of urban flood risks uncertain. The study reported in this thesis reviews existing approaches...doctoral thesis 2010

Tsimopoulou, V. (author)This paper introduces the development of a methodology for performance of oil spill risk analysis in coastal zones through a prototype application. The main objective of the research effort is to develop the basis for a tool that can assess risks due to the occurrence of an oil spill event aiming at assisting to the risk response process. The...conference paper 2010

Van Baars, S. (author), Van Kempen, I.M. (author)In a historical perspective, flood protection in the past was not given high priority - plague and periods of famine and war took precedence. Poverty and a lack of knowledge made it difficult to create safer dikes. Dike engineering did improve in Napoleonic era due to the French Central Government, but many dikes still failed. A historical...journal article 2009

Ten Veldhuis, J.A.E. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author), Van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)Traditional methods to evaluate flood risk mostly focus on storm events as the main cause of flooding. Fault tree analysis is a technique that is able to model all potential causes of flooding and to quantify both the overall probability of flooding and the contributions of all causes of flooding to the overall flood probability. This paper...conference paper 2008

Sterk, G. (author), Ten Veldhuis, J.A.E. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author), Berends, B.R. (author)Public health risks of urban pluvial flooding have so far received little attention in technical discussions. In this paper, the results of pathogen measurements in the sewer system of Utrecht and an urban flooding experiment are presented and used in an application of Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment, an existing risk analysis method for...conference paper 2008

Tri, M.C. (author)In the low-lying coastal regions coastal defence structures are usually designed with a main function to protect the hinterland from highly vulnerable to coastal flooding. Sea dikes are usually the most common and important elements which form the coastal flood defence system. Sea dikes are designed at a pre-defined circumstance and requirement....report 2008

(author)This report is part 2 of the economic analysis of the project Space for the Rivers, which aims at improving the safety against flooding along the river Rhine. It is a Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) of proposed measures and packages. A method has been developed for evaluating measures and packages with more than one effect at the same time....report 2005

Suddle, S.I. (author)As a consequence of an ever-growing population land is getting scarcer, especially in urban areas. In the last decade, the space available above transport infrastructure - such as roads and railway tracks - and existing buildings is being exploited more and more frequently in city centres. The safety issue in such projects should be considered...doctoral thesis 2004
