Design manual for slope protection

Manual for the design of pitched stone and block revetments on dikes, based on research in the Netherlands in the period 1970 -1995. This book is a translation of the Dutch CUR manual 155.

Vietnamese toes. The influence of scour on the stability of concrete cylinder type sea dike toe constructions in Vietnam.

Bank erosion prediction and mitigation measures along the lower Mekong river

The Lower Mekong River area is a zone with plenty of natural resources and it has the highest agricultural production in Vietnam. The river passes though six provinces in the Southern patt of Vietnam, with more than 16 million in habitants in total. However, serious riverbank erosion problems occur and there is no master plan or mitigation...

Safety assessment of sea dikes in Vietnam; a case study in Namdinh Province

Vietnam has more than 3200 km of coastline, primarily consisting of low-lying coastal areas which are protected by sea dikes, natural dunes and mountains. More than 165 km of coastline lies within the Red River Delta, a densely populated region which experiences substantial dynamic changes and destruction due to frequent intense impacts from the...

Analysis of failure situations for sea dike in Northern Vietnam and point out some suitable solutions

Failure analysis of sea dikes in the northern part of Viet Nam. Solutions to improve the present dikes in a cost efficient way.

Coastal Morphology, a case study in Province of Nam Dinh, Red River Delta, Vietnam

Vietnam has about 3260 km of coastline, primarily consisting of low-Iying coastal areas. More than 165 km of this coastline are within the Red River Delta, a densely populated region which experiences substantial dynamic changes and destruction due to frequent intense impacts from the river (floods) and the sea (typhoons, changes in sea level,...

Probabilistic design and risk analysis for the Duong river dike in the Red River delta in Vietnam

Traditionally, the design of sea and river dikes in Vietnam is primarily based on a water level with a particular frequency of being exceeded. The frequencies of exceedence of design levels and governing discharge are widely regarded as constituting a standard for the safety of the region protected by the dikes and are interpreted in terms of...

Dewatering sewage sludge with geotextile tubes

Municipal sewage was placed in geotextile bags for the purpose of evaluating the dewatering and consolidation capabilities of large geotextile tubes and effluent water quality. A proposed AS TM test method for determining the flow rate of suspended solids from a geotextile containment system for dredged material was used to conduct tests to...

Open taludbekledingen. Ruwheidselementen op dijkbekledingen

Het onderzoek dat in dit rapport beschreven wordt, is een onderzoek naar de mate waarin ruwheidselementen op een talud invloed hebben op de golfoploop de stabiliteit van de bekleding. Deel I van dit rapport bevat het meetverslag van het grootschalig onderzoek in de Deltagoot en een analyse van de invloed van ruwheidselementen op de golfoploop....

Effectiveness of coastal defence measures: Design background for coastal defence and management: near field and far-field factors in overall (geometrical) and structural design

The description of the transformation of shore in larger scales, i.e. the far-field effects, is summarized in Chapter 2 while the near-field mechanisms, encompassing different overall and local failure modes, stability and performance are dealt with in Chapter 3. Both are foliowed by Chapters 4 and 5 with design computations and examples,...

General strategy on coastline protection: The Dutch case

Overview of the Netherlands policy on coastal protection and coastal defence

Taludbekleding van gezette steen. Fase 2: Grootschalig gidsonderzoek, verslag modelonderzoek

In het "Fundamentele Onderzoek naar de Stabiliteit van Taludbekledingen” is tot aan het hier omschreven onderzoek vrijwel geen aandacht besteed aan de klemkrachten tussen de afzonderlijke stenen in een zetting, en de invloed daarvan op de stabiliteit van de zetting als geheel. Er is steeds verondersteld dat de veiligheidseisen die gesteld moeten...
