Stability of stones on mild slopes

The static stability of stones on mild slopes under wave attack is investigated in this research. The first part of the research is focused on reproducing the physical scale model tests regarding profile change of Kramer (2016) numerically with the model XBeach-G. The erosion profiles modelled with the bed-load transport formulas of Nielsen ...

The stability of rock on mild slops under wave attack

Momentarily the determination of the static stability of rock on mild slopes can be split in roughly two paths, the empirical and the physical approach. However, both the approaches have their limitations from which one could conclude that neither approach is currently an accurate description of the stability of rock on mild slopes under wave...

XBeach-G as a Design Tool for Rock on mild slopes under wave loading.

This study describes the stability of rock on a mild slope (e.g. milder than 1:6) under wave loading. This is done because an increasing number of situations occur where mild foreshores are protected from the wave and currents. The empirical stability formula, designed by VAN DER MEER [1988], is not valid for these kind of slopes. Nonetheless,...

IJsverslag: Winter 1987-1988, Winter 1988-1989 en Winter 1989-1990

Winter 1987-1988 en Winter 1988-1989 De winters waren zeer zacht. De temperaturen lagen boven het gemiddelde en er kwamen geen ijsperiode's voor. Winter 1989-1990 De winter was in het algemeen aan de warme kant. Er deed zich in deze winter één ijsperiode voor, van 2 tot 7 december. In het noorden werd hier enige hinder van het ijs ondervonden....
