Oumeraci, H. (author), Staal, T. (author), Pfoertner, S. (author), Ludwigs, G. (author), Kudella, M. (author)ELASTOCOAST revetments are highly porous structures made of crushed stones which are durably and elastically bonded by Polyurethane (PU). To improve the understanding of the physical processes involved in the wave-structure-foundation interaction and to develop prediction formulae for both hydraulic performance and wave loading more than 75...report 2010

Husrin, S. (author)Results showed that the existing model on erosion of clay with water-filled cracks (Führböters theory) which only considers cohesion as the soil strength is only applicable for certain conditions. The model should consider other resistant forces such as soil weight and pore pressures. From the tests on clay without water-filled cracks, it...report 2009

Stanczak, G. (author)Sea dikes are of crucial importance in the defence systems of low-lying coastal areas in Germany as well as in other countries such as The Netherlands and Denmark. Breaches of sea dikes due to storm surges are regarded as the main cause of flood disasters, so that a reliable prediction of both breach initiation, breach formation and breach...report 2009

Geisenhainer, P. (author)This report describes small-scaled experiments performed at Leichtweiß-Institute for Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources, Technical University Braunschweig (LWI). The experiments have been conducted to investigate the development of dike breaches in homogeneous sand dikes with and without a clay layer. The used scaling factor was 1:10.The...report 2009

Kortenhaus, A. (author)This report reviews previous investigations on hydraulic loading conditions for different types of flood defence structures such as sea dikes, dunes, beaches and seawalls. For each of these structures the physical processes involved are discussed in some detail and methods are given to either predict relevant input parameters for failure modes...report 2007

Oumeraci, H. (author)Coastal dikes are used as defence structures against flooding in lowland areas and where high tidal ranges occur. The development of a breach induced by wave overtopping has been one of the most frequent causes of dike failure and it is closely related both to the dynamics of a protected coast and to the flood risk assessment and management. At...report 2006

The model investigations have focussed on wave overtopping and the comparison of overtopping results from small-scale model tests and prototype measurements. Possible differences in the results from small-scale tests and...report 2005

Schüttrumpf, H.F.R. (author)Wave overtopping is one of the most important processes for the design of seadikes which was responsible for many severe dike failures in the past. Wave overtopping can not be avoided due to the random nature of the waves and the uncertainties associated with the determination of the design water level. The present design on wave overtopping is...report 2001
