Closure works: Interactive professional course

Verhagen, H.J. (author)

For this book we have deliberately chosen that the text should follow a more or less logical design procedure for closure dams. It is emphasized that only the construction aspect of stopping the water movement is considered in this book. This means that only the closing operation itself is treated; the transformation of the closing dam into a...

Confidence in Coastal Forecasts

Baart, F. (author)

This thesis answers the question "How can we show and improve our confidence in coastal forecasts?", by providing four examples of common coastal forecasts. The first example shows how to improve the estimate of the one in ten thousand year storm-surge level. The three dimensional reconstruction, based on paintings, shows that structural erosion...

How the Dutch plan to stay dry over the next Century

Stive, M.J.F. (author), Fresco, L.O. (author), Kabat, P. (author), Parmet, B.W.A.H. (author), Veerman, C.P. (author)

Over two-thirds of the Netherlands’ economy and half its population is below sea level. The Dutch government recently set out far-reaching recommendations on how to keep the country flood-proof over the next century given the likelihood of rising sea levels and river flows. This paper explains the recommendations, which are based on a gradual...

Capacity building in coastal engineering with a focus to countries in transition

Verhagen, H.J. (author)

Coastal engineering is a complex art. At this moment a limited number of phenomena can understood with the help of the laws of physics and fluid mechanics. For the remainder, formulas have been developed with limited accuracy. In addition, input data are also limited available, and form another source of uncertainty. Consequently, a sound...

Education of coastal engineers for the 50th ICCE

Verhagen, H.J. (author)

In general the problem in education is that we teach nowadays students the knowledge from five years ago, to be applied in the next 5 to 15 years (I admit, the student of today will have reached his retirement when he will participate in the 50th ICCE, the title is exaggerating reality). When one analyses the developments in the profession, it...
