A cost optimal design of a sea dike: Using probabilistic methods and flexibility in the distribution of the total failure probability over the various failure mechanisms

During this research a method is developed for finding the cost optimal design of a sea dike when a probabilistic method is being applied and flexibility is allowed in the distribution of the total failure probability over the various failure mechanisms. A probabilistic model has been set up to calculate the cost optimal design for a sea dike...

Morphological modelling of tidal inlets in the Wadden Sea

The purpose of this study is to develop a suitable model to predict morphological changes in tidal inlets. Several morphological models already exist, but they all have their limitations. In this study is chosen for the morphological program ESTMORF. Until this moment the model ESTMORF is only verified for the channel cross-sectional areas and...
