van Meerkerk, M. (author), Poelma, C. (author), Hofland, B. (author), Westerweel, J. (author)We present an experimental study on the gas flow field development over a plunging breaking wave prior to impact on a vertical wall. The variability of wave impact pressure over repeated measurements is well known (Bagnold, 1939). The formation of instabilities on the wave crest are postulated to be the main source of impact pressure variability...journal article 2022

Tuin, Henry (author), Voortman, Hessel (author), Hofland, B. (author), de Almeida Sousa, E. (author)For the design of vertical hydraulic structures pulsating wave forces need to be calculated. The total wave force is a result of every wave component (long waves and short waves) within a wave field. The common formulae are derived for regular or unimodal narrow sea states and use one characteristic wave height and period. Broad-banded spectra...journal article 2022

Dào, H.T. (author), Hofland, B. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), Mai, Tri (author), Ngo, Anh (author)Wooden fences are nature-based supporting structures to restore mangroves in the Mekong Delta. The hydraulic functioning of wooden fences was studied in previous studies. However, the role of bathymetry in the dissipation and damping of waves by wooden fences has not been studied yet. Thus, in this study, a numerical approach is used to find...conference paper 2022

Kleiberg, T.N.J. (author), Tieleman, O.C. (author), Versluis, Marco (author), Kortlever, Wim (author), ten Oever, Erik (author), Hofland, B. (author)This paper presents a novel design method to predict fatigue of flood gates due to dynamic wave loading. The accumulation of fatigue damage is predicted probabilistically over the entire lifetime of the structure rather than with a set of normative events. Load events are defined using a joint probability distribution of historical wind and...journal article 2022

(author)Worldwide, communities are facing increasing flood risk, due to more frequent and intense hazards and rising exposure through more people living along coastlines and in flood plains. Nature-based Solutions (NbS), such as mangroves, and riparian forests, offer huge potential for adaptation and risk reduction. The capacity of trees and forests...journal article 2022

Kalloe, S.A. (author), Hofland, B. (author), Antolínez, José A. Á. (author), van Wesenbeeck, B (author)The last years, capacity of vegetation to reduce wave impact is receiving considerable attention. To predict wave attenuation processes within vegetation fields reliable estimates of vegetation parameters are needed. This proves to be difficult for woody vegetation as it consists of complex branch structures, characterized by varying branch...journal article 2022

Janssen, D. (author), Schmets, A.J.M. (author), Hofland, B. (author), Dado, E. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)Dikes are designed to withstand a load, with a certain finite probability of occurrence. In case of crises regarding to flood safety, the military is expected to prevent low-laying areas against flooding. Historical attempts show that the effectiveness of emergency measures and strategies are mainly successful caused by the adequate acts of the...conference paper 2021

Tieleman, O.C. (author), Hofland, B. (author), Tsouvalas, A. (author), de Almeida Sousa, E. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)This paper establishes a computationally efficient model to predict flood gate vibrations due to wave impacts including fluid–structure interaction. In contrast to earlier models, composite fluid domains are included to represent the situation of a flood gate in a dewatering sluice with the presence of an overhang that causes the confined-wave...journal article 2021

de Almeida Sousa, E. (author), Hofland, B. (author)This study focuses on standing wave impacts on vertical hydraulic structures with relatively short overhangs. It addresses the demand for extended knowledge and loading prediction expressions for these structures. Based on laboratory experimental data from 146 tests, this paper works on two complementary objectives. Firstly, this study extends...journal article 2021

(author)To calculate tsunami forces on coastal structures it is of great importance to determine the shape of the tsunami front reaching the coast. Based on literature reviews, analytical reasoning,video footage, and numerical modelling it is concluded that both the continental shelf slope and the bay geometry have a significant influence on the...journal article 2021

(author), Overduin, Maarten (author), Steendam, Gosse Jan (author)This paper presents the first field measurements with an innovative laser scanner system, during an actual severe winter storm with very oblique wave attack. The goal of this paper is to validate this innovative system for measuring wave run-up and wave overtopping parameters during storms with very oblique wave attack. The paper describes the...journal article 2021

Memar, S. (author), Morales Napoles, O. (author), Hofland, B. (author), Melling, Gregor (author)During the last two decades, increasing vessel size in major German estuaries has led to the significant change of the local loading regime i.e. increased importance of ship-induced waves and currents. As a consequence, the intensity of ship-induced loads has increased considerably, resulting in damage to rock structures such as revetments,...conference paper 2021

(author), Mai, Tri (author), Tuan, Le Xuan (author)Mangrove forests, that often act as natural coastal defences, enormously suffered due to ongoing climate change and human disturbances. Thus, it is necessary to have a countermeasure to mitigate the loss of mangroves. Wooden fences are becoming a viable nature-based solution to protect vulnerable replanted mangrove forests. However, the wooden...journal article 2021

Oosterlo, P. (author), Hofland, B. (author), van der Meer, J.W. (author), Overduin, Maarten (author), Steendam, Gosse Jan (author)Wave overtopping is typically measured in the field using overtopping tanks. In this paper, an alternative system is developed that uses two laser scanners. The system also measures wave run-up, as well as run-up depths and velocities, both during perpendicular and oblique waves on a dike in the field. The paper considers the first calibration...journal article 2021

van den Berg, Ileen (author), Hofland, B. (author), Reedijk, Bas (author)Many rubble mound breakwaters are nowadays made with an armour layer consisting of single layer interlocking elements. The stability of these armour layers could well be influenced by the irregularity of the rock underlayer, as that influences the degree of interlocking. Especially for the new types of regularly placed armour, this might be...journal article 2020

Shafieefar, Mehdi (author), Shekari, Mohammad Reza (author), Hofland, B. (author)Reshaping berm breakwaters have been mainly designed and built for water depth less than 20 m. In such conditions, a toe structure may be needed to reduce bottom settlements and increase geotechnical stability in the loose subsoil condition. Also, a toe berm can be deployed to reduce the berm recession and increase the stability of the...journal article 2020

Nguyên, Hà (author), Hofland, B. (author), Chinh, Vu Dan (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)The spectral wave period T<sub>m-1,0</sub> at the toe of sea-dikes is a crucial parameter to predict wave overtopping discharge over sea-dikes. It is known from literature that this period quickly increases when waves reach shallow foreshores; however, sometimes the assumption is made that the wave period remains constant from offshore to...journal article 2020
