Verheij, H.J. (author), Hoffmans, G. (author), Hardeman, B. (author), Paulissen, M. (author)Destructive wave overtopping tests have been performed at more than 20 dike sections in the Netherlands using the Wave Overtopping Simulator to simulate the overtopping waves. The tests show the combined behaviour of turf and substrate up to mean wave overtopping discharges of 75 ?/s per m, meaning wave volumes up to 5,500 ?/m with flow...conference paper 2012

Van der Meer, J.W. (author), Hardeman, B. (author), Steendam, G.J. (author), Schüttrumpf, H. (author), Verheij, H.J. (author)Wave overtopping discharges at coastal structures are well described in the EurOtop Manual (2007), including the distribution of overtopping wave volumes. Each volume that overtops a dike or levee will have a certain flow velocity and depth record in time, often given by the maximum velocity and flow depth. This paper describes some further...conference paper 2011

Hillen, M.M. (author), Jonkman, S.N. (author), Kanning, W. (author), Kok, M. (author), Geldenhuys, M.A. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)This study is part of a global study on the costs of adaptation to the effects of climate change. It adds information from three specific case studies (the Netherland, New Orleans and Vietnam) to the global study. The case study areas are comparable by type of coast; all are low-lying deltaic coastal areas. This study investigates the unit cost...report 2010

Verhagen, H.J. (author), Jaspers Focks, D.J. (author), Algera, A. (author), Vu, M.A. (author)Vetiver grass is a sustainable and innovative solution for the protection of banks. It is shown that Vetiver grass is able to establish a full-stop of bank erosion caused by rapid drawdown. Therefore it provides us with strong indications that it is highly suitable as an anti-erosion measure. A combination of cohesive soil and Vetiver grass...conference paper 2008

Verhagen, H.J. (author)Dike design is a very traditional craft. Since many generations dikes have been constructed in our part of Europe. After each disaster the dike was rebuilt, and improved. The improvement was always based on the experiences of the previous flood. For example, for many years the design height of a dike was determined as the height of the highest...conference paper 2007

Kortenhaus, A. (author), Bollinger, K. (author), Dassayanake, D. (author)Report on laboratory tests on a crest drainage dike; investigation if a channel in the crest of the dike is able to decrease the amount of overtopping over the dike. Chapter 2 provides details about findings from previous studies and the relevance of those findings to this research project. Available literature on wave run-up and wave...report 2007

van Gerven, K.A.J. (author), Akkerman, G.J. (author)The present report deals with the application of a provisional Smart Grass Reinforcement (SGR) system in 2006 for full scale testing of increased overtopping at the Groningen sea dyke test section near Delfzijl, as envisaged in 2007. The SGR has been placed at two strips of 4 m wide: one primary strip at the basic test site and one at a...report 2007

Akkerman, G.J. (author), van Gerven, K.A.J. (author), Schaap, H.A. (author), van der Meer, J.W. (author)In the present report field erosion tests of the inner slope of a sea dyke in the province of Groningen (near Delfzijl) are described for the situation of severe wave overtopping. Three types of tests have been performed: tests at the present grass cover, tests at a reinforced grass cover and tests at a section of bare clay. At the reinforced...report 2007

Van der Meer, J.M. (author)The wave overtopping simulator is a device which is able to simulate overtopping waves at the crest of a dike and at the inner slope. The device has been used in the ComCoast project to test a traditional dike section with grass and the SGR, the Smart Grass Reinforcement, placed in May 2006. This report describes in the first part (Chapters 1-6)...report 2007

ComCoast (author)A desk study has been carried out in order to develop a conceptual model for the erosion of inner dike slopes with reinforced grass cover. Based on the results the following can be concluded: The presence of a geosynthetic in a grass slope can be taken into account in the EPM method by increasing the critical flow velocity. In particular, a...report 2005

Van der Pol, C. (author), Glasius, A. (author), Winnubst, M. (author)Projects using innovative concepts in coastal defence -like ComCoast- can benefit greatly from participatory action. It can lead to innovative solutions with a broad societal support base, as is shown in the plan for water storage in the Overdiepse polder and the inundation compensation scheme for farmers in the upper River Dinkel region. This...report 2005

Ye, S.Q. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)In order to develop a new philosophy of flood safety in terms of probability of a certain level, two mathematical models of breach growth in sandy dikes have become available to determine the flood discharge in case of dike failure. BREACHES 1.0, developed at Alkyon/Delft Hydraulics (Steetzel) and BRES 1.0 at Delft University of Technology ...conference paper 1999

Visser, P.J. (author)The Technical Advisory Committee on Water Defences in the Netherlands has decided to develop a mathematical model for breach erosion in dunes and dikes, with which it will be possible to predict the growth of the breach and the discharge rate through the breach in case of a dike-burst. An essential part of such a mathematical model is the...report 1994

Verhagen, H.J. (author)The 1400 km Dutch coastline is affected by sea-level rise. At this moment a legal framework is made to guarantee safety of the dikes also in future. Also a national policy is developed for compensation of all coastal erosion. Both measures should make it possible for the Netherlands to survive an increased sea-level rise.conference paper 1990

Visser, P.J. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)The set-up and results of a field experiment on sand-dike breach erosion are described, It is found that the breaching process for the 2.2 m high sand-dike is similar to that in Visser's (1988) laboratory experiments with a 0.6 m high sand-dike. Confrontation of Visser's (1988) breach erosion model with the field data shows reasonable agreement...conference paper 1990
