Smyrnis, A. (author)
Block mattresses or block mats are, nowadays, very commonly applied as protection in a large range of applications either against flow or wave loads. Specifically, this large range of applications contains offshore pipeline protection and stabilization, erosion and scour protection, protection of embankments and river banks (slope protection)....

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...

Smulders, J. (author)
The devastation caused by Hurricane Ike in the Galveston Bay area (Texas, United States of America) proved the necessity of an improved water defense. Multiple flood risk reduction studies were undertaken. The Texas A&M University of Galveston proposed the Ike Dike, a fortification of the coastal spine to prevent a storm surge from entering the...

The breakwaters of IJmuiden are of a unique design; a riprap core is covered with a thick impermeable asphalt slab. During construction and after completion, slope instability caused extensive damage. Placement of a concrete cube armour layer prevented further damage to the asphalt, but proved to be unstable and required a significant amount of...

Granular filters are used for protection against scour and erosion of base material. For a proper functioning it is necessary that at the interfaces between the filter structure, the subsoil and the water flowing above the filter structure no material will be transported. Different types of granular filters can be distinguished, this paper...

Roelse, F.P. (author)
In the last decades shipping has increased significantly, resulting in larger ships with an increasing power in bow thrusters. Due to this increasing power, the hydraulic loads at bottom protection near quay structures has also increased, making a traditional bed protection more expensive. Therefore an alternative design method is suggested in...

Verdegaal, I. (author)
The permeability of a breakwater is of great importance for the stability of the armour layer. The influence of the structural permeability on the stability of rock armour units was already researched by Van der Meer using the 'notional' permeabiltiy. However, for single layer interlocking armour units the influence core permeability is rather...

A review will be presented of the theory behind stable and unstable coastal inlet cross-sectional behaviour. The theoretical findings behind stable coastal inlet cross-sectional behaviour will be reviewed, analysed and confronted with empirical findings, leading to some unresolved questions. Second, seasonal variations will be shown to induce...

Zimmermann, N. (author)
The Westerschelde estuary in the South-West of the Netherlands displays two meandering flood and ebb channels separated by shoals. The system of flood, ebb channel and shoal between two channel crossings form a morphological cell. The stability of the serial cell system formed by the Westerschelde is important for the navigation route to the...

At river bifurcations, water and sediment are divided over two branches. The dynamics of the bifurcation determine the long-term evolution (centuries) of the downstream branches, potentially leading to avulsion, but the dynamics are poorly understood. The long-term evolution can only be studied by one-dimensional models because of computational...

In VAN GENT [2004] graphs were presented in which the datasets of VAN DER MEER [1988] and VAN GENT ET AL. [2003] were compared, but in this comparison a number of parameters were not correctly transformed into a comparable format. In this M.Sc. thesis after an extensive analysis to the datasets all parameters of the datasets of Van der Meer were...

The second chapter describes the general methodology of the research. It presents the key questions about the entrainment of stones from granular filters that are as yet unanswered. It also describes the aspects that are being regarded in the analysis in this report. In chapter 3 the measuring set-up is described. The following two chapters...

Verhagen, H.J. (author)
Because of problems with the design guidelines produced by PIANC for armoured slopes under attack by bowthrusters, additional work has been done in the Netherlands. On the basis of this work computational rules have been developed. However, because of the increase of bowthruster power, more detailed knowledge is needed on the effect of a...

This report is structured as follows: In chapter 2 the importance of wall pressures with respect to the present research is described. The literature on wall pressures that was used, and some general features of wall pressure fluctuations are subsequently described in chapter 3. Chapter 4 deals with the pressure sensors. It begins with a brief...

De Heij, J. (author)
The first one who studied the problem of armour layer stability was Iribarren (1938). Iribarren derived stability criteria that were based on the acting physical processes on the slope of a structure. In the stability criteria of Iribarren only the influence of a few structural and hydraulic parameters were taken into account. In 1988 Van der...

In order to understand the processes involved in damaging a granular filter, the behaviour of the separate particles it is made of must be known. The hydrodynamic forces on the particles are very important for understanding this behaviour. These forces have been examined by many researchers. Chapter 2 deals with that aspect. The characteristics...

After consulting the "Department of Environment" in Australia it was suggested that an extensive generic study about Tidal Inlets on Littoral drift shores gives them an insight in the processes at work and also the possibilities to improve the stability in order to make tidal inlets suitable for safe navigation. This report describes the most...

Experimental research on the stability of bed material behind a backward facing step. Measured is the stability as a function of the local velocity and the local turbulence (turbulence intensity) due to the eddy formation.

Experimental research on the stability of bed protection and transport of stones on such a bottom protection. Investigated were the effects of duration and magnitude of the load, the shape, and placing density of the stones.

For tunnels it is not only important, how the tunnel and the surrounding rock behave during the life time of the tunnel. It is also very meaningful to understand how the tunnel is behaving, while it is under construction. The basis for this thesis is to understand, how the tunnel behaviour, concerning deformation and stability, is for different...
