Translating Management Maturity Levels to Flood Defences Asset Cost and Performance: Using Dynamic Bayesian Networks

Maturity model is widely known as an assessment tool to understand an organization management capabilities and identifying potential improvement. The model demonstrates informative results towards the organization management maturity but hard to acknowledge the influence of potential improvement towards the organization’s asset performance....

Machine Learning Revealing Insights into Soil Stratification: An Application for Dikes and Dams

In the Netherlands, robust dike and dam design is a major concern in the context of flood defence. Due to heterogeneity of the subsoil on which these structures are founded, the validity range of in situ tests decreases drastically. Consequently, large uncertainties regarding spatial variation of soil stratification and soil layer parameters are...
