Amellonado, A. (author)Mobile jack-up units remain favourable in the offshore industry due to its capability to self-install and ability to work in moderate water depth. Prior to its mobilization to the site location, it is required to have a site-specific assessment (SSA). The SSA will identify any potential problems related to foundation conditions during...master thesis 2016

Van Engelen, T.E. (author)Coastal inundation models are benefited by timeliness of the predictions, not only when it comes to real-time forecasting but also considering risk assessment studies and sensitivity analysis. Numerical models however are often subjected to a trade-off between accuracy and efficiency, especially when dealing with large geographic scales. In this...master thesis 2016

Janssen, M.P.J. (author)Although mangrove forests have proven to contribute to wave dissipation significantly, these ecosystem are threatened mainly by the expanding aquaculture. International or nationwide applied greenbelt policies are often used for the preservation of the mangroves and hence the flood hazard reduction, without taking local (hydrodynamic) conditions...master thesis 2016

Huppes, N. (author)Closure dams are structures that are used to close off basins, usually from the sea. A sand closure is the construction of a closure dam made out of sand. During the last stage of a sand closure, there is a closure gap through which the tide forces a current with flow velocities up to five metres per second. The flow pattern that occurs during a...student report 2016

Franken, J.T. (author)To determine the nominal diameter of armour rock for a rubble mound breakwater, the ‘Van der Meer’-formula is frequently used. It requires the so-called 'notional permeability' parameter P, which has been defined for a limited number of structures. Often designed structures deviate from these defined lay-outs. To determine the notional...master thesis 2016
