Hofland, B. (author), Passos, Marlon (author), de Almeida Sousa, E. (author)Flood gates in storm surge barriers or outlet sluices can be prone to violent wave impacts. When an obstruction is present at the sea side above the gate, confinement of the incoming waves can lead to impulsive wave loads, even when the waves are non-breaking. The large loads can increase the stresses in the gate and structure considerably. One...conference paper 2019

de Almeida Sousa, E. (author), Hofland, B. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)The study of wave impact physics and magnitudes are key for the design of vertical coastal hydraulic structures. This research addresses the study of standing wave impacts on vertical coastal hydraulic structures with a relatively short horizontal overhang, which is especially relevant for structures such as lock gates, sluice gates, dewatering...conference paper 2019

van Vledder, G.P. (author), Hofland, B. (author), Tuin, Henry (author), van Maris, Bob (author)This paper describes a numerical evaluation of design rules for the determination of wave loads of non-breaking waves on vertical structures. Design guidelines were proposed by Sainflou (1928) and Goda (1974). These guidelines use geometric parameters of the structure, an incident wave height and a wave period. In practice (cf. CERC, 1984), a...conference paper 2019

(author), Steetzel, Henk (author), Reneerkens, Michiel (author)Wave overtopping is commonly measured using overtopping tanks. In this paper, an alternative system is developed by using two laser scanners. It measures wave run-up, as well as layer thicknesses and front velocities, both during normally and obliquely incident waves on a dike in the field. The paper considers the first field validation tests...conference paper 2019
