Curto, V. (author)
The morphological impact on nourishments of conditions with high oblique wave incidence has been investigated in literature using either a one-line approach or quasy-2D models. These models predict downdrift nourishment migration and the generation of alongshore sand waves for persistent conditions with high oblique wave incidence. However,...

The Sand Engine is a mega-nourishment constructed in 2011 with the purpose of replenishing the surrounding southern Dutch coast by exploiting the strength of local alongshore currents for the next 20 years. Long term monitoring of the Sand Engine depends upon remote sensing coupled with in-situ measurements due to both its large spatial and...

This paper discusses the effectiveness of a mega-nourishment project. Mega-nourishment is a new technology for beach nourishment that has recently been developed. It arises as an alternative to beaches where a structural erosion problem is observed and there is the need for continuously nourishments works. A pilot project was implemented near...

Over the past decades the north-eastern coast of Brazil has been degrading due to erosion. This degradation has both natural- and men-made causes. Brazil has no specific laws and acts which relate to coastal protection and management up to this date. Beaches in the metropolitan area of Recife show variety in beach width according to the seasons....

Carbon Footprinting is a method of determining the environmental impact of a product or service. It focuses only on pollutions to the air by greenhouse gasses. There is a strong focus on these gases caused by intergovernmental alliances that restrict the amount of emitted gas. These agreements have been made, as a result of the widely accepted...

Balneário Camboriú is a very touristy city in southern Brazil, situated in the five kilometer wide Camboriú Bay. Its main tourist attraction is the beach, which is 5800 m long and rather narrow with a dry width of 10 to 20 m. The city is facing several problems regarding the beach that have a negative impact on tourism. The main problems are:...

Het zoeken naar een geschikte locatie voor een nieuw aan te leggen vliegveld heeft in Nederland al tot vele studies geleid. Een van de altrnatieve locaties voor het huidige Schiphol is een nog aan te leggen eiland in de Noordzee en wordt 'Schiphol in zee' genoemd. Bij grootschalige landaanwinning in open zee worden twee verschillende types...

AI sinds jaar en dag worden over de hele wereld strandsuppleties uitgevoerd. Het doel van die strandsuppleties is de verdediging van kusten en de verbetering van de recreatiemogelijkheden. Om die laatste reden is er eind jaren tachtig een vooroeversuppletie uitgevoerd bij de Gold Coast in Queensland, Australie. Het morfologisch gedrag van die...

Artificial nourishment is an often used measure along the Dutch coast. Advantages are, amongst others, the lower costs, no negative influence on recreation and in contrast to hard measure it does not have negative consequences for the adjacent coastal areas. A disadvantage is that in most cases a repetition of the nourishment will be necessary...

Het onderwerp van dit afstudeerproject is ontstaan naar aanleiding van een prijsvraag van de gemeente Zijpe. Ter gelegenheid van het 400-jarig bestaan van de Zijpe en Hazepolder werd een prijsvraag uitgeschreven met als onderwerp: "kijk op de kust". Door de TU-Delft, in samenwerking met Alkyon, werd aan de prijsvraag meegedaan. Hun "kijk op de...

Als men de Nederlandse geschiedenis bekijkt dan is er een steeds terugkerend element te ontdekken: de strijd tegen de zee. Er is in het verleden veelland veroverd op het water, maar er moet constant voor gezorgd worden dat het gewonnen land behouden blijft. Als er niet actief zou worden ingegrepen dan zou binnen afzienbare tijd de kustlijn sterk...

Ter Wengel, M. (author)
Al eeuwenlang wordt er in Nederland gestreden met de zee. Erosie van de kust zorgt voor een grote bedreiging van het achterland van overstromingen met vaak grote schade tot gevolg. Om de steeds waardevollere infrastructuur in het achterland te beschermen, worden er steeds verdergaande maatregelen getroffen om de kust tegen overstromingen te...

In the framework of the NOURTEC project experimental nourishments have been executed. The NOURTEC project is an EU-research project in the scope of the program for Marine Science and Technology (Mast II). NOURTEC stands for Innovative Nourishment Techniques Evaluation. Full-scale experiments have been carried out in three different countries ...

In 1993 an artificial sand nourishment was carried out at the coast of Terschelling. The total amount of supply was deposited in a trough between two breaker bars, up to a level of about NAP -5m. The present report gives a prediction of the development of the coast in the next 10 years. For this, a mathematical model has been used, in which the...

A literature review is undertaken to understand the causes and the effects of the first process. Using the resulting equations, the UNIBEST-TC program is verified for the process of wave transmission over and through a submerged breakwater. Due to the fact that only impermeable breakwaters can be implemented in the program, deviations occur. For...

In the Netherlands much land was captured from the sea. At the same time however along the coast severe losses of land occurred. The main reasons were sea level rise and effects of decreasing tidal volumes of estuaries. Besides there were the local effects of shifting tidal channels and periodical movements of the coastline. Building of groynes,...

In the Netherlands today much attention is paid to the effect of coastal structures on the environment. In the past it was usual to quantify the effect of such a structure on its environment solely with the purpose of deciding whether that effect could imply any hazard to the structure itself (or to structures in the neighbourhood). Nowadays...
