Efficiency of hanging silt curtains in cross-flow

Radermacher, M. (author), De Wit, L. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author), Winterwerp, J.C. (author)

When dredging in sensitive environments, efforts have to be made to limit the free dispersal of suspended fine sediment from the dredging spill. Especially the use of hanging silt curtains as an environmental mitigation measure is widespread. Despite frequent application, their ability to reduce turbidity levels through vertical diversion of...

Dynamic contracting mechanism for pavement maintenance management

Demirel, H.C. (author), De Ridder, H.A.J. (author)

Technological advances, financial possibilities and changes of demands have increasingly affected the pavement maintenance environment for outsourcing in recent years. This induces complexity in the contracting methods of pavement maintenance activities. Despite the fact that current contracting practices on pavement maintenance activities are...

Integrated risk assessment for the natomas basin (California) analysis of loss of life and emergency management for floods

Jonkman, S.N. (author), Hiel, L.A. (author), Bea, R.G. (author), Foster, H. (author), Tsioulou, A. (author), Arroyo, P. (author), Stallard, T. (author), Harris, L. (author)

This article assesses the risk to life for the Natomas Basin, a low-lying, rapidly urbanizing region in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta in California. Using an empirical method, the loss of life is determined for a flood (high water), seismic, and sunny-day levee breach scenario. The analysis indicated that more than 1000 fatalities may occur...

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...

Shear stresses and mean flow in shoaling and breaking waves

Stive, M.J.F. (author), De Vriend, H.J. (author)

We investigate the vertical, wave averaged distributions of shear stresses and Eulerian flow in normally incident, shoaling and breaking waves. It is found that shear stresses are solely due to wave amplitude variations, which can be caused by shoaling, boundary layer dissipation and/or breaking wave dissipation. The resulting shear stress and...

Coastal maintenance in the Netherlands

Verhagen, H.J. (author)

The government of The Netherlands has decided in the summer of 1990 to maintai.n the coastline at the position of 1990. This will be done mainly by artificial beach nourishment. The costs will be paid by the national government. The purpose of this coastal maintenance is to maintain a sufficient level of safety and to maintain the various...

Safety against inundation: The dutch approach

Verhagen, H.J. (author), Volker, W.F. (author)

The most urbanized part of the Netherlands is situated below sea level and is protected by dikes. By act of parliament allowable inundation frequencies for each part of the country are fixed. In case of two dangers (river run-off and storm surge) it is a problem to determine design values for dikes. Guidelines are developed to solve these...
