Camino Rios, Alberto (author)
The comprehensive assessment of the deviatoric behaviour in peats is paramount in ensuring the resilience of soil structures. The understanding of this material is riddled with intricacies, given its highly complex fabric, which includes organic matter such as fibers. This thesis evaluates the capabilities of a recent constitutive model (JMC) to...

The coefficient of lateral earth pressure at rest (K0) is an important parameter in any geotechnical problem since it provides information on the initial stress state, which governs the response of the soil to the proceeding stress changes. A proper determination of the stresses in any geotechnical problem is required to be able to predict the...

Offshore wind power structures are subjected to cyclic loading. Several loads like wind and wave loading are acting on the structure and therefore its foundation. It is important to involve the impact of this cyclic loading into the design of the structure. A cyclic load influences the strength and deformation characteristics of the soil. Due to...

Six cyclic settlement models for sand are evaluated to analyse the settlement of automatic stacking crane (ASC) rail tracks at the Rotterdam World Gateway (RWG) container terminal. During Phase 1 of the RWG container terminal settlement of the rail tracks occurred at multiple locations after the ASCs became operational....

The Netherlands has for long been witnessing problems due to subsidence. While urban infrastructure is mostly safeguarded from differential settlement by deep pile foundations, the same cannot be said about greenhouses. The greenhouses of the Netherlands has enabled the country to become the largest exporter of vegetables, second only to the...

The erosion resistance of clay is an important aspect when assessing the integrity of a levee. This is because the clay layer of a dike must resist the forces that are imposed in the case of overflow or overtopping. Currently, the erosion resistance of clay in the Netherlands is being assessed based on the sand content, the liquid limit and the...

Around 55% of The Netherlands is protected by flood defences like dikes. Flood defences must meet requirements which are based on an allowed flood probability. Safety assessments are performed to check whether flood defences meet these requirements. Uncertainties are explicitly included in safety assessments. Uncertainty in soil behaviour is one...

Reinforcing levees with traditional methods is becoming more difficult in the Netherlands. Often there is a lack of space near the levee or it is desired that the landscape is maintained. Because of this, alternative methods for reinforcing levees are still sought after (CUR-commissie C141, 2007). In this study, the technical feasibility of a...

Dicker, Sjors (author)
Peat is formed by biochemical processes and the accumulation of the soil depends on the aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The soil covers five to eight percent of the land surface of the earth. For this thesis a peat coming from a site called Markermeeer, which is a lake between the provinces Noord-Holland and Flevoland in the Netherlands, is...

In this study, the assessment of the KIJK dike follows the new guidelines given by POV-M 2018 using PLAXIS. The macrostability assessment and design of the dike is examined for two cases. In the first case the dike is assessed based on the in-situ conditions (Green dike) whereas in the second case a cantilever sheet pile wall is used in the...

The United States of America have a safety standard for flood protection of 1/100 year. However the flood protections in the Washington D.C. do not comply with this requirement. During this study the levees in Washington D.C. area were analysed and it was found, that in order to comply with the 1/100 safety standard the levees in the...

The Dutch flood defences are subjected to the new Dutch safety assessment program (WBI 2017) that incorporates the latest insights and safety regulations. As a consequence of the updated piping assessment model, studies are expected to identify more piping prone areas in the Netherlands, which makes it worthwhile to investigate alternative...

Additional thesis - In the Netherlands the total area protected by dikes is enormous. An ideal dike is strong and waterproof: sand in combination with a clay core provide such properties. However, most of the dikes in the Netherlands are constructed long ago with local materials which are less suitable. Especially ancient dikes containing...

It is well known that desiccation fissures can have detrimental effects on the performance of flood defence embankments. While many studies have focused on understanding the mechanisms of desiccation cracking in clay, few have tried to simulate field conditions in laboratory experiments. In general desiccation experiments are performed on thin ...

Organic soft soils pose technical challenges in construction industry due to their extraordinary compressibility and deformability, which is an issue of particular relevance in the densely populated Netherlands, of which more than half of the land surface is covered by such soft soils. Uncertainty and variability in settlement predictions for...

In this research we studied the behaviour of dredged glacial till in the creation of a landfill. An experimental approach is used where we primarily focussed on the settling and consolidation characteristics. Till is in general a well graded, non sorted material and segregation during dredging and transportation can be expected. The aims of this...

Unsaturated groundwater dynamics play a major role in the nalysis of soil-atmosphere interaction, stability of geotechnical structures, and the impact of climate change aspects on these subjects. The nonlinear behaviour of water retention in the soil has a large impact on the governing equation known as Richards’ equation, and steep boundary...
