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 ...

Stability of stones under non-uniform flow

In the Netherlands hydraulic engineering structures are not only designed, but are also managed and maintained (M&M). In the nineteen-nineties in the United States during periods of high water scores of bridges collapsed, because American law forbids the use of bed protection around bridge piers and moreover, no maintenance plans were available....
