(author), Hardeman, B (author)Dikes in the Netherlands are by law required to comply with predefined safety standards. The goal of this paper is to derive the safety format and the required factor of safety for the inner slope (landside slope) instability failure mode. The first step is to derive the required target reliability for a cross-section. The second step is to...conference paper 2017

Schweckendiek, T. (author), van der Krogt, M.G. (author), Teixeira, Ana (author), Kanning, W. (author), Brinkman, Rob (author), Rippi, Katerina (author)Dikes and levees play a crucial role in flood protection. The main causes of levee failures are of geotechnical nature. Geotechnical failure modes are also the main contributors to the probability of failure of flood defenses such as levees due to the large uncertainties in ground conditions. Hence, information on ground conditions and soil...conference paper 2017
