Bruins Slot, Hilco (author), Nugteren, Alex (author), van Rie, Victor (author), Nota, Hugo (author), Overgaauw, Tim (author), van der Heide, Niels (author)This report is written with the aim to evaluate a possible port expansion in the port of San Vicente, Chile. In order to achieve this a thorough analysis on the port operations, hydrodynamical analysis using Delft3D and a bottleneck analysis on the infrastructure have been executed. A preliminary design for the port expansion is created. This...student report 2020

Boersma, Floris (author)This thesis is the third study of a research line that focuses on the interface stability of a rubble mound sand retaining structure. The type of interface considered is a geometrically open granular filter because of its economical and constructional benefits. The stability of an open filter structure in which the base layer is located on top...master thesis 2020

Delgado Blasco, José Manuel (author), Cian, Fabio (author), Hanssen, R.F. (author), Verstraeten, Gert (author)Population growth in rural areas of Egypt is rapidly transforming the landscape. New cities are appearing in desert areas while existing cities and villages within the Nile floodplain are growing and pushing agricultural areas into the desert. To enable control and planning of the urban transformation, these rapid changes need to be mapped...journal article 2020

(author), Tao, Jian feng (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), Gong, Zheng (author)China's continuous and rapid economic growth has led to the reclamation of large sections of the intertidal mud coast in combination with port construction, such as that of the proposed Tongzhou Bay port on the Jiangsu coast. These reclamations threaten the local ecosystem services. An ecotope distribution map was created and a hydrodynamic...journal article 2020

Niquice, Celma (author), Marques Arsenio, A. (author), Brito, R.M.C.L. (author), van Lier, J.B. (author)This review identifies the potentials and constraints of using (partially) treated or blended wastewater for irrigation in order to assess the potentials in the context of cities in sub-Saharan Africa, specifically Maputo, the capital of Mozambique. Less than 5% of the wastewater produced in the region is being treated. Nonetheless, untreated...review 2020

(author), Tao, Jian Feng (author), Gong, Zheng (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), van Maren, D.S. (author)The fast economic development of the People's Republic of China has created an increasing demand for usable land, resulting in large-scale land reclamations along the coastal zone. One of these regions is Tongzhou Bay (Jiangsu coast), a region characterized by large intertidal mudflats and deep tidal channels with potential for the...journal article 2020

Kousa, C. (author), Pottgiesser, U. (author)Purpose: Eight years of civil war in Syria severely impacted the historic core of Aleppo, with about 30 percent of its buildings completely destroyed and huge amounts of debris generated. This paper proposes recovery strategies for some of the most badly damaged sites in the city through material reuse and transformation, one of the goals of...journal article 2020

Nijhuis, S. (author)The Netherlands has a centuries-long tradition of reclaiming land. In the last century gaining land from water peaked with the IJsselmeerpolders, made possible by technical innovations. The Noordoostpolder (1937–1942), one of the IJsselmeerpolders, is a unique example of a fully designed agricultural landscape of the twentieth century. It is the...book chapter 2020

van de Ven, Daan (author)For the use of open filters in land reclamations new guidelines are needed as no research is currently done for the configuration of a sand layer is placed on top of a filter layer. This research focuses purely on the interaction between cyclic motions and the described sand-filter layer. A numerical OpenFOAM model is used to extract the order...master thesis 2019

van Ginkel, M. (author)Worldwide, land reclamations are constructed for the urban expansion of coastal megacities. Freshwater supply plays an important role in their sustainable development, especially in the light of climate change and depletion of natural water resources in the hinterland. The subsurface of these new lands offer opportunities for subsurface...doctoral thesis 2019

Muller, J.R.M. (author)Over the last decades, the People’s Republic of China experience large economic development, which have led to severe shortages of usable land. To counteract this, the Chinese central government promoted the development of coastal provinces by reclaiming large sections of coastal zones. One of these regions is Nantong Binhai Park or Tongzhou Bay...master thesis 2018

Tutein Nolthenius, Raoul (author)Currently, sand retaining rubble mound structures are often constructed with geotextiles, lining the interface between the core material and the sandfill. These geotextiles are placed to make sure the sand from the sandfill is not flushed out through the core by incoming hydraulic forces from the surrounding water. It is proposed that...master thesis 2018

Yang, M. (author), Yang, Tianliang (author), Zhang, L. (author), Lin, Jinxin (author), Qin, Xiaoqiong (author), Liao, Mingsheng (author)Large-scale reclamation projects during the past decades have been recognized as one of the driving factors behind land subsidence in coastal areas. However, the pattern of temporal evolution in reclamation settlements has rarely been analyzed. In this work, we study the spatio-temporal evolution pattern of Linggang New City (LNC) in Shanghai...journal article 2018

van Ginkel, M. (author), Olsthoorn, T.N. (author)Spatially constant porosity and hydraulic conductivity are usually applied in hydrological studies related to land reclamations. However, the grain sorting and the degree of compaction within land reclamations differ per placement method. A study area at Maasvlakte II, the Netherlands, and the four other land reclamations that could be found...journal article 2018

Xiao, Jianzhuang (author)Abstract only. - This report firstly presents the current state of construction and demolition (C&D) waste generation in PR China. It is found that the composition of C&D waste in mainland China is much different from other countries, leading to some difficult on the aspect of waste concrete recycling. As a result, in China, some reclamation...conference paper 2017

van den Bosch, B.A.P. (author)Land reclamations in deltaric areas provide space to meet the demand for a safe place to live and work. Sand, a traditional filling material in some locations is becoming scarcer. An alternative filling material is mud. Mud consists of clay, silt, sand, organic material, water and gas. Therefore, it is a versatile material and difficult to...master thesis 2016

Fausta, N. (author)The rapid economic and population growth recently drives Maputo to become more metropolitan, with construction sector as one of the pillars to support its transformation. This progressive move is, however, hindered by one of the most crucial problems: water scarcity. Water is essentially required by construction sector, especially in concrete...master thesis 2016

Van Dijk, N.N. (author)In this research we studied the behaviour of dredged glacial till in the creation of a landfill. An experimental approach is used where we primarily focussed on the settling and consolidation characteristics. Till is in general a well graded, non sorted material and segregation during dredging and transportation can be expected. The aims of this...master thesis 2016
