Analysis of failure situations for sea dike in Northern Vietnam and point out some suitable solutions

Failure analysis of sea dikes in the northern part of Viet Nam. Solutions to improve the present dikes in a cost efficient way.

Probabilistic design and risk analysis for the Duong river dike in the Red River delta in Vietnam

Traditionally, the design of sea and river dikes in Vietnam is primarily based on a water level with a particular frequency of being exceeded. The frequencies of exceedence of design levels and governing discharge are widely regarded as constituting a standard for the safety of the region protected by the dikes and are interpreted in terms of...

Influence of offshore breakwaters on coastal sediment transport rates and coastline morphology

Offshore breakwaters have been used in many coastal areas for coastal protection with greater or lesser success. However to date these have not been used along the Dutch coast for this purpose. This is probably due to the absence of accurate design tools for their functional design, coupled with the uncertainty of whether this method of coastal...

Improvement of slope stability of dikes by application of geotextile or geogrid materials

The low-lying countries as The Netherlands are strongly dependent on good (safe) river and seadefences. Driven by the necessity to withstand the water, during centuries the engineers built up their knowledge on hydraulic engineering, and particularly on constructing of dikes and proteetion measures. The design of these dikes has been carried out...

A computer simulation modelling study for port planning of main public terminal, port of Palembang, South Sumatra, Indonesia

The main problem which will be solved in this study is that concerning the Main Public Terminal (MPT) capacity : berthing, cargo handling and cargo storage capacity within the time span of development plan, up to 2005. The objective of the development plan is then defined, i.e. to provide MPT the least-cost of port operation consisting of port...

Navigation Locks: International Courses in Hydraulic Engineering at IHE, Course year 1964-1965

Ir. Josephus Jitta was between 1920 and 1958 the main designer for navigation locks in the Netherlands. He has basically designed all locks in that period, a.o. the large lock in IJmuiden. After his retirement he provided the courses in Navigation Lock Design at the International Courses (IHE) in Delft, at that moment housed in the same building...
