Peters, D.J. (author)Revetment systems prevent erosion of dikes. The systems need to be stable under wave attack. The size and the weight of revetment elements is the main contribution to their stability. Pattern-placed revetments consist of relatively small blocks or column-shaped natural stones or concrete elements, placed in a regular grid. The pattern creates a...doctoral thesis 2017

Khuong, T.C. (author)An accurate prediction of shoreline changes behind detached breakwaters is, in regard to the adjustment to the environmental impact, still a challenge for designers and coastal managers. This research is expected to fill the gaps in the estimation of shoreline changes by developing new and generalized relationships of the shoreline changes to...doctoral thesis 2016

Piontkowitz, T. (author)A large number of the dikes in the North Sea and Baltic Sea regions are covered with grass that is exposed to hydraulic loading from waves and currents during storm surges. During previous storm surges the grass cover layers often showed large strength and remained undamaged. A clear physical understanding of the failure of grass cover layers...report 2009

Tri, M.C. (author)In the low-lying coastal regions coastal defence structures are usually designed with a main function to protect the hinterland from highly vulnerable to coastal flooding. Sea dikes are usually the most common and important elements which form the coastal flood defence system. Sea dikes are designed at a pre-defined circumstance and requirement....report 2008

Bux, I. (author)Experience has shown that the stability parameters relating to breakwater armour unit stability vary considerably for steep foreshores when compared to milder foreshore slope. Furthermore, the change from the deep water spectra (Tm0) to the shallow water wave spectra (Tm-1.0) does not fully explain the difference. Leading on from recent...report 2007

Van der Meer, J.M. (author)The wave overtopping simulator is a device which is able to simulate overtopping waves at the crest of a dike and at the inner slope. The device has been used in the ComCoast project to test a traditional dike section with grass and the SGR, the Smart Grass Reinforcement, placed in May 2006. This report describes in the first part (Chapters 1-6)...report 2007

van Gerven, K.A.J. (author), Akkerman, G.J. (author)The present report deals with the application of a provisional Smart Grass Reinforcement (SGR) system in 2006 for full scale testing of increased overtopping at the Groningen sea dyke test section near Delfzijl, as envisaged in 2007. The SGR has been placed at two strips of 4 m wide: one primary strip at the basic test site and one at a...report 2007

Koopal, A.A. (author), Onderwater, M. (author)An important element in the ComCoast concept is the overtopable sea defence, often a dike.The landward (inner) slope of the dike is adjusted in such a way that it can withstand higher overtopping rates. One of the concepts to improve the resistance is the "Sandy Dike", a cover of the inner slope with layer sand. The sand will be washed away...report 2007

Oedekerk, M. (author)Climate change will cause increasing physical loads on the flood defence of the Province of Groningen along the North Sea over the next decades. This is caused by a sea level rise between 15 and 35 centimetres whilst the ground level is lowering between 38 and 48 centimetres until the year 2050. This results in salt-water intrusion into the land...report 2006
