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

Van Laerhoven, C.R. (author)Since their development in the 1970s, mesoscale atmospheric models have been used for a variety of meteorological applications. Over the years, the models have evolved and nowadays, state-of-the-art atmospheric models are capable of operating on spatial resolutions in the order of kilometres. In the hydraulic engineering community, atmospheric...master thesis 2016

Vos, G.J. (author)Many breakwater projects start with the selection phase which consists of the consideration of alternatives. These breakwaters are required to protect ports, banks and habitat areas from significant wave action. Moreover, upcoming Design & Construct contracts drive contractors to perform the consideration of alternatives and design themselves....master thesis 2016

Volbeda, E.A. (author)Bank protections are currently constructed with stone, wood, concrete and steel. NETICS has introduced a sustainable and commercially very attractive alternative called the GEOWALL. The goal of this study is to find a viable field of application within the quay structures by considering the arising challenges of a larger scale wall. Additionally...master thesis 2016

Hellinga, L.B. (author)Breakwaters with single layer concrete armour are very commonly applied nowadays. Much research is available on the stability of single layer armour units on the seaward slope. However, rear slopes design methods for single layer armour units are rare. On rear side slopes usually similar sized units as on the seaward slope are applied. Limited...master thesis 2016

Van Duffelen, L. (author), Van Eeden, B. (author), Hofland, F. (author), Rietmeijer, A. (author), Verhey, P. (author)The water quality at the beachfront of Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, is currently insufficient to meet the Blue Flag standard, leading to health issues for the beach users. Since Durban can be recognised by its busy port and attractive beachfront, it is a major centre for tourism. This means that research on the source of this poor water quality and...student report 2016

Anker, J.C. (author)On the south-west coast of Namibia, diamonds were trapped during the Quaternary on bedrock platforms and in bedrock gullies. These were formed by differential erosion due to wave action. The diamonds originated from Kimberlite diamond pipes within the catchment area of the Orange River in South-Africa and Botswana. This river eroded the diamonds...master thesis 2015

Oosterlo, P. (author)In this thesis, a method was developed, with which the infragravity waves and morphological changes of a sandy foreshore are included in the calculation of the probability of dike failure due to wave overtopping. Constructing a natural foreshore in front of the dike can be an attractive and innovative method to decrease the failure probability....master thesis 2015

Azikci, M.A. (author)The Van der Meer formula for amour stability takes the Iribarren number, number of waves and damage level into account. It also contains a factor P which describes the “notional permeability” of the breakwater. This factor is based on the fact that a more permeable structure dissipates more energy and hence requires less heavy armouring. Its...master thesis 2015

Broere, A. (author)The protection of breakwater structures is in this research considered. The design of rubble mound concrete armour layers for breakwaters can be divided in a single layer system and a double layer system. The single layer system is nowadays mostly applied because of the high interlocking, high stability of the structure, reduction of concrete...master thesis 2015

Van Rinsum, G.P. (author)This document includes a survey whether the wind set-up formula is valid and accurate in case of irregularly shaped lakes with a strong varying water depth. The formula is designed for a pure theoretical situation, the question is whether the formula is valid in situations that differ a lot from the theoretical one. The research is carried out...bachelor thesis 2015

Harihar, S. (author)Mangroves have been proven to be an asset to coastlines because of their myriad advantages relating to coastal protection and stability. Unfortunately, in the past, due to economic necessities or other reasons, many of these mangrove swamps in tropical areas came under threat and were subsequently destroyed. As the awareness about the positive...master thesis 2015

Salih, R.S. (author)Voor het varen in stilstaand water is door Schijf een methode ontwikkeld die, middels het behoud van massa en energie, een beschrijving geeft van de stroming naast en onder het schip. Doordat het schip het water voor de boeg verdringt naar de achterzijde, zal een stroming optreden die tegengesteld gericht is aan de vaarrichting. De bijkomende...bachelor thesis 2015

Pasaoglu, M. (author)As the shipping industry is growing, more and more propulsion systems are being developed with better propulsion capabilities. These current and newly developing systems in ships are expected to cause scour at beds around berthing structures with greater likelihood than the systems preceding them, which increases the importance of protection...master thesis 2015

Van der Neut, E.M. (author)When designing a rubble mound breakwater, one would like to predict the stability of the armour layer of the breakwater. For this purpose several armour layer stability formula are developed. The most reliable is considered to be the stability formula of Van der Meer (1988). With this method, the armour layer stability is predicted based on...master thesis 2015

De Jong, H.C. (author)De jachtclub van Scheveningen heeft een plaats in de haven van Schevenigen gekregen. Veel mensen vertoeven hier tijdens hun vrije tijd en in hun vakanties omdat het een aantrekkingspunt is voor recreatie. Deze verschillende functies en belangen van de haven leveren op zichzelf al veel werkgelegenheid op. Het havengebied van Scheveningen is dan...bachelor thesis 2015

Bijlard, R.W. (author)There is a shift in the approach for designing coastal structures. In the past, dikes were designed on the probability of exceedance of an incoming wave during storm conditions. In the near future, the design criteria will be the probability of flooding of the hinterland. In order to determine this flooding probability, the strength of the dike...master thesis 2015

Evers, G.A. (author)A dike is designed for an extreme event which greatly exceed the situation under daily circumstances. The expected loading during such an event is, however, difficult to estimate. Inherent uncertainties in nature and epistemic uncertainties in models and statistical data impede a clear verdict about the exact loading on a dike. Consequently,...master thesis 2015

Witteman, D. (author)Quarry rock is a frequently applied construction material in hydraulic engineering. The main reason is its unique stability capacities in environments of high hydrodynamic activity. Furthermore, quarry rock is produced and handled relatively easily and available at numerous locations across the globe. The size, or more precisely, the dimension...master thesis 2015
