Verhagen, H.J. (author), Jumelet, D. (author), Vilaplana Domingo, A. (author), Van Broekhoven, P. (author)In de Van der Meer formulas for armour stability the Notional Permeability is used as a parameter. Unfortunately the physical basis of this parameter is weak. It is therefore suggested to use a relation between the Notional Permeability P and the reduction of wave run-up due to infiltration into the breakwater. The advantage is that the latter...conference paper 2011

Hoan, N.T. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), Booij, R. (author), Hofland, B. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)This paper presents the results of an experimental study on stone stability under nonuniform turbulent flow, in particular expanding flow. Detailed measurements of both flow and turbulence and the bed stability are described. Than various manners of quantifying the hydraulic loads exerted on the stones on a bed are extensively reviewed and...journal article 2011

VanLishout, V. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Troch, P. (author)There is a growing interest in the application of submerged rubble mound breakwaters as coastal defence structures. As their defensive ability highly depends on the amount of wave energy remaining at their lee side, the accurate prediction of the energy in the lee of such structures is of utmost importance. Past experiments have shown that the...conference paper 2011

Bisschop, F. (author), Visser, P.J. (author), Van Rhee, C. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)Convential models for the erosion of non-cohesive sediments overestimate the erosion rate induced by high flow velocities. These high flow velocities occur, for instance, in breaching of embankments or dunes (flow velocities up to 10 m/s) or in jetting sand with a trailing suction hopper dredger (30 to 60 m/s). At these very large flow...conference paper 2010

Van den Bos, J.P. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Olthof, J. (author)The Paintal (1967) formula can be used to estimate transport rates of coarse-grained bed material (such as stones from a bed protection) under low hydraulic loads just above the threshold of motion; the application however is limited to steady currents. This paper presents research aimed at extending the range of application to a combination of...conference paper 2010

(author)A study of the effectiveness of mangroves in attenuating cyclone- induced waves was done using the SWAN 40.81 numerical model. Hydraulic parameters during extreme events and local mangrove vegetation parameters were estimated for the Kanika Sands mangrove island near the upcoming Dhamra Port in Orissa, India. Simplified generic analyses were...conference paper 2010

(author)Elastomeric bonded permeable revetments, also called PBA (Polyurethane bonded aggregate) revetments, are highly porous structures made of mineral aggregates (e.g. crushed stones) which are durably and elastically bonded by polyurethane (PU). Despite their numerous advantages as compared to conventional revetments and the large experience...conference paper 2010

Nguyen, D.V. (author), Van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)In order to avoid failure in its lifetime, a breakwater system has to be inspected and, if necessary, has to be repaired. In this paper, a comprehensive maintenance strategy with optimal inspection planning is formulated. Rational maintenance decision-making approaches are discussed. The proposed maintenance strategy combines time-dependent and...conference paper 2010

Verhagen, H.J. (author)In the ROCK MANUAL (2007) some guidance is given for the design of toes for breakwaters. However, for very shallow toes, as well as for very wide toes (or berms) this guidance is only marginally. Recently a number of shallow berms and toes have been constructed, partly with the intention to lower the height of the breakwater. These works showed...conference paper 2010

In order to fulfil designated functions, a breakwater has to be inspected during its lifetime and has to be repaired if necessary. Actions of inspecting and repairing form a maintenance strategy.

Verhagen, H.J. (author), Mertens, M. (author)In the Rock Manual [2007] two sets of equations for the determination of rock stability in breakwaters armour layers are presented. One set is the original formula presented by Van der Meer [1988], valid for deep water conditions. This set uses the parameters Hs and Tm. The other set is an adaptation of these formulae, using the parameters H2%...conference paper 2009
