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

Coastal Morphology, a case study in Province of Nam Dinh, Red River Delta, Vietnam

Vietnam has about 3260 km of coastline, primarily consisting of low-Iying coastal areas. More than 165 km of this coastline are within the Red River Delta, a densely populated region which experiences substantial dynamic changes and destruction due to frequent intense impacts from the river (floods) and the sea (typhoons, changes in sea level,...

Swan predictions of nearshore wave climate at Nam Dinh coast of Vietnam

Among a variety of elements, the nearshore wave elimate is considered to be the most important aspect to explain erosion problems along the coast. Oue to the fact that available data is limited, numerical models are valuable and necessary tools to apply. This study is initiated with the main objective to study the nearshore wave elimate of the...

Probabilistic Design and Risk Analysis tor 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...

CPI-Central Province Initiative to Mitigate Natural Disasters in Central Vietnam

After the severe floods that occurred at the end of 1999 in the Central Provinces of Vietnam, and the devastating effect they had in terms of loss of life and property, a series of disaster mitigation initiatives were taken by a number of Government Authorities and the Vietnam Donor Community. These initiatives were led by the Ministry of...

Sea dikes northern part of Vietnam: Review

As a result of the strong similarity in physical nature between the Netherlands and Viet Nam on water related issues, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam has requested to the Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management of the Netherlands for technical assistance on flood control...

The reliability of coastal structures in Vietnam in relation to the reliability of wave and water level data

In designing marine and coastal structures there always exists a considerable uncertainty, especially regarding the reliability of the data to be used. This is primarily due to the stochastic nature of sea waves - one of the most complex, volatile, pertinacious and uncomprehensible of nature's forces. Indeed, even if using all the available...
