Oosterlo, P. (author)The main goal of this study is to determe the relation between very oblique wave attack and overtopping, and to accordingly adjust the formulae for oblique wave attack. The required knowledge to be able to read and understand this report is of a Bachelor in civil engineering level. All around the world different types of structures are built to...bachelor thesis 2013

Arets, K. (author)Het doel van dit bachelor eindproject is een antwoord vinden op de vraag of het mogelijk is door middel van het IH-2VOF model resultaten gevonden in een stroomgoot te simuleren. Dit moet worden uitgezocht omdat door gebruik te maken van dit model de teen van een golfbreker beter, veiliger en eenvoudiger ontworpen kan worden. Het onderzoek...bachelor thesis 2014

Bischoff van Heemskerck, W.C. (author), Booy, N. (author)The designing engineer often comes across the economic decision problem in which the "benefit" of a higher design criterion must be weighed against the "cost". Several methods have been developed to deal with this optimization problem; none of them, however, offer the possibility of introducing the appropriate considerations of a general policy...conference paper 1969

Allsop, N.W.H. (author), Cork, R.S. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)This paper introduces a co-operative project between HR Wallingford UK (HRW) and Delft University of Technology, Netherlands, (TUD) to develop, populate, and then to apply a database on all major breakwaters around the world. It builds on, and revives, similar initiatives that originate in the late 1970s. The paper describes the objectives in...conference paper 2009

Hauer, M. (author), Op den Velde, W. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author), D' Angremond, K. (author)Given a harbour location and a wave-climate, two different types of rubble-mound breakwaters were designed. Using realistic quarry yield curves and prices for production, transport and constmction, the total costs of the conventional statically stable and dynamically stable bermbreakwater designs were compared to each other. This comparison led...conference paper 1995

Verhagen, H.J. (author)In a classical design approach to breakwaters a design wave height is determined, and filled in into a design formula. Some undefined safety is added. In the method using partial safety coefficients (as developed by PIANC [1992] and recently also adopted by the Coastal Engineering Manual of the US Army Corps of Engineers [CEM [2003]) the degree...conference paper 2003

Verhagen, H.J. (author)In the ROCK MANUAL (2007) some guidance is given for the design of toes for breakwaters. However, for very shallow toes, as well as for very wide toes (or berms) this guidance is only marginally. Recently a number of shallow berms and toes have been constructed, partly with the intention to lower the height of the breakwater. These works showed...conference paper 2010

De Rover, R. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Van den Berge, A. (author), Reedijk, B. (author)The effect of single layer interlocking armour unit breakage on the hydraulic armour layer stability and potential damage progression is addressed in this paper. A 2-dimensional scale model of a rubble mound breakwater with an armour layer consisting of Xbloc armour units was tested. The residual armour layer stability with broken units was...conference paper 2008

Van den Bos, J.P. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Kuiper, C. (author)This paper presents the results of a systematic validation of numerical simulation of reflection and transmission of rubble-mound breakwater structures. The aim of the study is to provide a body of validation measurements for increasingly complex situations, starting simple and building up the comlexity in terms of breawater geometry, wave...conference paper 2015

Verpoorten, S.P.K. (author), Ockeloen, W.J. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)Since 1977 dedicated studies are made to the stability of rubble mound break-water toes under wave attack. A large number of stability methods is available, but prediction accuracy is low and validity ranges are too small for use in prac-tice. In this research the decoupled model approach is used to evaluate predic-tion capacity of existing toe...conference paper 2015

Verhagen, H.J. (author), Mertens, M. (author)In the Rock Manual [2007] two sets of equations for the determination of rock stability in breakwaters armour layers are presented. One set is the original formula presented by Van der Meer [1988], valid for deep water conditions. This set uses the parameters Hs and Tm. The other set is an adaptation of these formulae, using the parameters H2%...conference paper 2009

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

Verpoorten, S.P.K. (author)Seaports are often protected against waves and currents by rubble mound breakwaters. At the interface between outer breakwater slope and seabed a toe structure is often build, which provides stability to the outer slope. The toe consists of a relatively small heap of rock. Since 1977 dedicated studies are made to the stability of these rock...master thesis 2015

Le, T.N. (author)Prototype single layer armour units on a breakwater slope are observed to break. To predict when breakage occurs, the objective of this research project is to obtain knowledge on, and measurements of the rocking behaviour and failure mode of single layer armour units. A single cube on a breakwater slope is subjected to investigations. An...master thesis 2016

Garcia Beses, A.J. (author)Nowadays the most important sectors in the strategy for the future of the port of Rotterdam are container handling, chemicals and distribution. To offer these sectors the opportunity to grow and renew, space is needed. By means of the construction of Maasvlakte II this space can be given. This land reclamation is planned to be located in the...master thesis 2005
