Verhagen, H.J. (author)In this paper, protection options for a high-value, industrial area along the coast of West Bengal (India) are investigated. The options are designed to protect against cyclone surges with a probability of 1/100 per year. Two alternatives are compared, a classical solution of a dike with a revetment and a solution with a mangrove belt in...journal article 2019

Salauddin, M (author), Broere, A. (author), van der Meer, J.W. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Bijl, E (author)Single layer concrete armor systems are being widely used nowadays in the design of rubble mound breakwaters. Recently, a new concrete armor unit has been developed and applied as single layer armor system in the repair works of one damaged breakwater at Al Fujeirah, UAE. It has a symmetrical shape, in contrast to most other units. Modern...journal article 2017

Verhagen, H.J. (author), van den Bos, J.P. (author)For this book we have deliberately chosen that the text should follow a more or less logical design procedure for breakwaters. It follows the required design steps from the system level down to the individual crosssection level, and in time from conceptual design to construction. This systematic approach starts at the functional description of...lecture notes 2017

Guillaume Carpentier, G. (author), Piero Silva, P. (author), Allsop, W (author), Mouazé, D. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Gautier-Chevreux, L. (author), Bagieu, M. (author)This paper describes a unique design project devised to teach and apply technical skills in port design, but also in the practical cooperation between students in a realistic design project. The 4-week long project now involves students of up to 19 nationalities from 7-10 universities, and has been based each year on real design projects....conference paper 2017

Harihar, S. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)Mangroves have proved to be an asset to coastlines owing to their various advantages in terms of coastal protection and stability. Along tropical coastlines, as mangrove tracts recede and threats of coastal erosion mount, mangrove rehabilitation projects are being seriously contemplated. The design of such projects, however, is in an incipient...journal article 2017

Verhagen, H.J. (author)For this book we have deliberately chosen that the text should follow a more or less logical design procedure for closure dams. It is emphasized that only the construction aspect of stopping the water movement is considered in this book. This means that only the closing operation itself is treated; the transformation of the closing dam into a...lecture notes 2016

Le, H.T. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)Grass covers have been applied as an effective measure for protecting river levees and sea dikes. We conducted experiments to show how roots considerably improve the shear strength of soil on dike slopes. Roots of 1-year-old Bermuda and Carpet grass may increase the total shear strength of up to 20 kPa. Exposed to severe overtopping flow, dike...journal article 2016

Salauddin, M. (author), Broere, A. (author), Van der Meer, J.W. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Bijl, E. (author)A new and symmetrical single layer armour unit, the crablock, has been designed in the UAE. One breakwater was reconstructed with crablock, but very limited testing had been performed. Just to become more acquainted with this new unit, pre-competitive research at a university has been performed, which is the subject of this paper. Being a new...conference paper 2015

Van den Bos, J.P. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Kuiper, C. (author)This paper presents the results of a systematic validation of numerical simulation of reflection and transmission of rubble-mound breakwater structures. The aim of the study is to provide a body of validation measurements for increasingly complex situations, starting simple and building up the comlexity in terms of breawater geometry, wave...conference paper 2015

(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

López Royo, M. (author), Burgmeijer, M. (author), Verhagen, H.J.

In order to train (coastal engineering) students in this matter, Unesco-IHE and TU Delft have in their curriculum an Integrated Coastal Zone...conference paper 2015

Verpoorten, S.P.K. (author), Ockeloen, W.J. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)Since 1977 dedicated studies are made to the stability of rubble mound break-water toes under wave attack. A large number of stability methods is available, but prediction accuracy is low and validity ranges are too small for use in prac-tice. In this research the decoupled model approach is used to evaluate predic-tion capacity of existing toe...conference paper 2015

Trung, L.H. (author), Van der Meer, J.W. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)Little is known about the strength of the land-side slopes of the Vietnamese sea dikes under overtopping attack. Some grass-covered slopes were tested by a wave overtopping simulator. The paper describes the simulator and presents the test results. The tested grass covers could withstand overtopping rates varying from 20 l/s to 100 l/s per meter...journal article 2014

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

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

Verhagen, H.J. (author), Jansen, L. (author)For describing the relation between the grainsize and the nominal diameter (d50 vs. dn50) usually a factor 0.84 is used.
