Verhagen, H.J. (author)The 350 km long Dutch coast along the North Sea is characterized by alternating coastal stretches of accretion and erosion resp. resulting in seaward and landward displacement retreats of the shoreline. Places of accretion and erosion also vary in time. Behind the dunes are low lying polders (very often with a ground level even below the low...conference paper 1990

Verhagen, H.J. (author), Reedijk, B. (author), Muttray, M. (author)Experience has shown that stability parameters for breakwater armour are different for steep and shallow foreshores, as well as for deep and shallow water. A change from a deep water spectral information (Tm0) to shallow water spectral information (Tm-1,0) does not completely explains this difference. Tests have shown that stability also depends...conference paper 2006

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

Tuan, T.Q. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)The present paper is concerned with the processes of coastal barrier breaching with focus on the breach initiation induced by high activity of tropical cyclones in the northern and central coast of Vietnam. The breach initiation by the response of coastal barriers during storm surges can also be a common practice encountered in many coasts...conference paper 2008

Verhagen, H.J. (author), Van Dijk, B. (author), Nederpel, A. (author)Medium height breakwaters are subjected to a considerable amount of overtopping. This implies the armour on the inner slope has to stable against overtopping waves. Existing equations do lack some basic understanding of the process of starting up movement of rock on the inner slopes. In case one relates the stability of the blocks on the inner...conference paper 2003

Viet, N.D. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)An appropriate assignment of probabilities of failure to subsystems and components in a structural system can bring a minimum of costs and risk. In this paper, a method for economic optimisation of rubble mound breakwaters using pre-assigned probabilities of failure is presented. Application to a design case shows that the proposed method is...conference paper 2008

Verhagen, H.J. (author), Savov, B. (author)For the determination of the stability of coastlines, coastal erosion and the design of erosion protection studies, the “local” wave climate is the most important input parameter. For morphology, “local” means just outside the breaker line. On relatively calm days the local wave climate is strongly influenced by the effect of sea breeze. On the...conference paper 1999

Trung, L.H. (author), Van der Meer, J.W. (author), Luong, N.Q. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Schiereck, G.J. (author)The resistance of various grassed slopes against wave overtopping has been appraised by means of the Wave Overtopping Simulator in situ for a couple of years in Viet Nam. Destructive test results show that a dike slope covered with grass could suffer a certain overtopping discharge not smaller than 20 l/s per m. During testing it was difficult...conference paper 2011

Labrujere, A.L. (author), Verhagen, H.J.

For that reason calculating the carbon footprint of various alternatives is a very straightforward method to compare energy consumption and more importantly...conference paper 2012

Roelse, P. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)In the Netherlands much land was captured from the sea. At the same time however along the coast severe losses of land occurred. The main reasons were sea level rise and effects of decreasing tidal volumes of estuaries. Besides there were the local effects of shifting tidal channels and periodical movements of the coastline. Building of groynes,...conference paper 1991

Verhagen, H.J. (author)Apart from many ecological advantages, mangroves in front of a coastal defence may lower the construction and maintenance costs of the defence. Although mangroves have hardly any reducing effect on water levels (and on tsunami impact) mangroves may significantly reduce wave attack on a coastal dike, and in this way reduce the cost of a revetment...conference paper 2012

First, an experimental study was carried out to get more inside into the relation between flow forces acting on a bed and the bed response (damage). The experiments were then used as the basis for the evaluation. Second, the flow was...conference paper 2008
