Tsimopoulou, V. (author), Kok, M. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)After the flood disaster of 1953, the Netherlands adopted a rational approach to flood risk management with the use of protection standards determined by means of cost-benefit analysis. Due to scientific and political developments that have recently taken place, an update of the Dutch protection standards is being undertaken. One of the major...journal article 2015

Van Ledden, M. (author), Van den Berg, N.J.F. (author), De Jong, M.S. (author), Van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author), Den Heijer, C. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author), Jonkman, S.N. (author), Roos, P.C. (author), Hulscher, S.J.M.H. (author), Lansen, A.J. (author)This paper explores an alternative method to determine extreme surge levels at the Dutch Coast. For this exploration, specific focus is on the extreme water level at Hoek van Holland, The Netherlands. The alternative method has been based on a joint probability model of the storm characteristics at the North Sea. The intent of this method is to...conference paper 2014

Hong, S.T. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)In the Mekong Delta Vietnam, the construction of sluices with the purpose of retaining fresh water and preventing salt water intrusion potentially plays a very important role. However, the structures constructed in small rivers according to local or traditional technology revealed many disadvantages related to the economical, evacuation and...conference paper 2013

Tsimopoulou, V. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author), Kok, M. (author), Jonkman, S.N. (author), Stijnen, J.W. (author)Recent experience of large-scale water disasters such as Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake and Tsunami in 2011 has reminded mankind that disasters cannot be ruledout. Unprecedented low-probability events can happen even in the most well monitored areas, causing major social-economic disruption. Failing to prepare...conference paper 2013

Vrijling, J.K. (author)The application of the “safety chain” consisting of proaction, prevention, preparation, repression/mitigation, recovery and learning will be studied in this paper. The chain appears to be a multi layer system, that is at least as safe as the safest layer. It will additionally be observed that the effectiveness of resources spent in prevention is...conference paper 2013

Wang, L. (author), Van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author), Ranasinghe, R.W.M.R.J.B. (author), Maskey, S. (author)To guarantee a safe flood defence in a changing environment, the adaptation to climate change needs to be considered in the design of river dikes. However, the large uncertainty in the projections of future climate leads to varied estimations of future flood probability. How to cope with the uncertainties in future flood probability under...conference paper 2013

Schiereck, G.J. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)To resolve the flooding problems of Ho Chi Minh City, the possibilities for a large barrier downstream of the city are under study. In the final design stage a detailed 1-or 2-dimensional mathematical model is necessary to describe water levels and flow in the branches of the estuary system. The authors plea for the use of simple, first-order...conference paper 2012

Dawotola, A.W. (author), Trafalis, T.B. (author), Mustaffa, Z. (author), Van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)This paper proposes a data-driven approach in determining an optimal inspection interval for a petroleum pipeline system. The approach accounts for the determination of both the probability of failure and its associated consequences. The probability of failure is estimated by fitting the historical data of failure of the pipeline into either a...journal article 2012

Pham Quang, T. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author), Thu, T.M. (author)Reliability and risk analyses are basic approaches, nowadays, for flood risk assessments in European countries such as the Netherlands, German, United Kingdom, etc. The methods also receive a lot of interest in developing countries. By considering uncertainties for both load and strength variables, the probability of failure for each element of...conference paper 2012

Ranasinghe, R. (author), Jongejan, R.B. (author), Callaghan, D. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)Current methods used to determine Coastal setback lines have several limitations. Furthermore, the historical practice of defining setback lines based on a single deterministic estimate is also proving inadequate with the emergence of risk management style coastal planning frameworks which require probabilistic estimates of coastal recession....conference paper 2012

(author)A new concept for wave energy conversion is examined as a proof of concept for generating electricity in a moderate wave climate while being integrated in a caisson breakwater. Physical model testing is performed to analyse the preliminary efficiency of the device and to identify areas of improvement. The resulting device is calculated for two...conference paper 2011

Zhao, G. (author), Visser, P.J. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)This paper describes the hydrodynamic erosion process of undisturbed clay due to the turbulent flow, based on theoretical analysis and experimental results. The undisturbed clay has the unique and complicated characteristics of cohesive force among clay particles, which are highly different from disturbed clay and non-cohesive sand. Based on...conference paper 2011

Dawotola, A.W. (author), Van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)A model is constructed for risk management of crude pipeline subject to rupture on the basis of a methodology that incorporates structured expert judgment and analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The risk model calculates frequency of failure and their probable consequences for different segments of crude pipeline, considering various failure...journal article 2011

Tsimopoulou, V. (author), Kanning, W. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)This paper presents the development of a semi-probabilistic method for armour layer design of rubble mound breakwaters, which is based on the use of safety factors. The objective is to introduce an approach that is both attractive to designers and sufficiently reliable when a high degree of uncertainty is involved in the design process. The main...conference paper 2011

Jongejan, R.B. (author), Ranasinghe, R.W.M.R.J.B. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)Economic and population growth have led to an unprecedented increase in the value at risk in coastal zones over the last century. To avoid excessive future losses, particularly in the light of projected climate change impacts, coastal zone managers have various instruments at their disposal. These primarily concern land-use planning ...conference paper 2011
