Mai, C.V. (author), Van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author), Mai, T.C. (author)This paper aims at risk analysis and the investigation of safety aspects of coastal flood defences in Vietnam. The sea dike system has been actually designed by a 20 to 25 years return period. From the current situation it seems that the dike system is not sufficient to withstand the actual sea boundary conditions. Accurate safety assessment of...conference paper 2008

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

Vrijling, J.K. (author), Schweckendiek, T. (author), Kanning, W. (author)Current design codes like the Eurocode use safety or reliability classes to assign target reliabilities to different types of structures or structural members according to the potential consequences of failure. That, in essence, is a risk-based criterion. A wide range of structures is designed with such codes, and distinction is made between...conference paper 2011

Hauer, M. (author), Op den Velde, W. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author), D' Angremond, K. (author)Given a harbour location and a wave-climate, two different types of rubble-mound breakwaters were designed. Using realistic quarry yield curves and prices for production, transport and constmction, the total costs of the conventional statically stable and dynamically stable bermbreakwater designs were compared to each other. This comparison led...conference paper 1995

Jonkman, S.N. (author), Jongejan, R.B. (author), Maaskant, B. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)The Dutch government is in the process of revising its flood safety policy. The current safety standards for flood defences in the Netherlands are largely based on the outcomes of cost-benefit analyses. Loss of life has not been considered separately in the choice for current standards. This article presents the results of a research project...conference paper 2011

Schoolderman, J. (author), Reedijk, B. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author), Molenaar, W.F. (author), Ten Oever, E. (author), Zijlema, M. (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

Pham Quang, T. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author), Thu, T.M. (author)The application of reliability analysis in civil engineering is still an emerging technology, more so in geotechnical engineering and even more so in application to river dikes. However, much experience remains to be gained, recently, especially in European countries (the Netherlands, Germany, United KingdomÂ…) as well as in the United States of...conference paper 2010

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

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

Nguyen, D.V. (author), Van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)This paper presents a comprehensive maintenance strategy with optimal inspection planning and its application to rubble mound breakwaters. In order to fulfil designated functions, a breakwater has to be inspected during its lifetime and has to be repaired if necessary. Actions of inspecting and repairing form a maintenance strategy. In the paper...conference paper 2010

(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

Viet, N.D. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)In 2006 a Vietnamese Engineering Consultancy Company carried out a design study of a Naval Base at the location of the South of Doson Peninsula in Vietnam. A deterministic approach applied to the conceptual design of the breakwater system of the Naval Base resulted in a cross-section with a big armour layer and a rather low crest level.

Viet, N.D. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)An appropriate assignment of probabilities of failure to subsystems and components in a structural system can bring a minimum of costs and risk. In this paper, a method for economic optimisation of rubble mound breakwaters using pre-assigned probabilities of failure is presented. Application to a design case shows that the proposed method is...conference paper 2008

Visser, P.J. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author), Verhagen, H.J.

Confrontation of Visser's (1988) breach erosion model with the field data shows reasonable agreement...conference paper 1990
