Janssen, C.M. (author)Cross-shore sediment transport is an important phenomenon in coastal engineering, which mainly accounts for the short-term changes in the coastline. To study on- and offshore transport the evolution of the beach profile is considered. For investigation of the beach profile small-scale physical models are often used. A problem in using a physical...master thesis 1993

Van der Hoeven, R. (author)In many coastal engineering problems the application of coastal structures to resolve these problems seems to be a proper solution. In a lot of cases, however, the implementation of coastal structures does not lead to the expected situation. Erosion management operations may have unwanted impacts on a coastal system. Decisions on the most...master thesis 2010

Bergsma, E.W.J. (author)In 2010, a realignment of the main channel of the Maumusson inlet, France, is observed. This breach of the ebb-delta is observed not long after a severe storm that afflicted the Charente-Maritime region in February 2010; Xynthia. A strong link between the breach and the Xynthia storm is expected: a storm event driven breach. In order to assess...master thesis 2012

Van der Zwaag, J. (author)The sediment composition of the sea bed is of relevance for various coastal properties such as bed forms, beach slopes and marine ecology. Furthermore it may significantly influence the morphological evolution of the coast. Knowledge about the processes forcing the spatial distribution of a certain grain size is therefore of great importance....master thesis 2014

Bruins, R.J. (author)To counteract relative sea level rise, Rijkswaterstaat nourishes the Dutch coast with sand. This sand spreads out over the shoreface zone, beach and dunes. One of the nourishment types is the shoreface nourishment. In this thesis, data of historical shoreface nourishments along the Dutch coast is analysed to find the factors that influence this...master thesis 2016

Horst, J. (author)Coastline regression is a significant threat to many coastal zones. Being able to mitigate the erosion while simultaneously improving nature development is something that is increasingly strived for in coastal projects. This report utilizes the building with nature philosophy to explore integrated solutions for a coastal erosion problem in...master thesis 2017

Arefin, Syed Shamsil (author)Rocking behavior of breakwater research was conducted by Centre for Civil Engineering Research and Codes workgroup CUR C70 (1989) and after that no further validation of the research work has been done. In order to understand the rocking behavior and validate the previously conducted research CUR C70 (1989) wave flume test has been conducted in...master thesis 2017

Aarnink, Janbert (author)As extensive efforts from consumer drone manufacturers resulted in inexpensive aircrafts that can capture high quality video imagery, drones are increasingly considered to be beneficial for scientific purposes. In the recent past, video imagery has been used to analyze waves in terms of several hydrodynamic parameters and to indicate matching...master thesis 2017

Von Gronau, Clemens (author)With the implementation of new legal aspects for dune safety assessment in 2017, the current method, Duros+, is no longer feasible to represent the desired processes. This 1D deterministic, volume-balance model cannot simulate processes like inundation and overwash, which are crucial to fulfil the new requirements for dune safety assessment....master thesis 2017

Roest, Bart (author)The Sand Engine is a new innovation in coastal protection, a mega feeder nourishment. This pilot project was constructed in 2011 along the Delfland coast, which is historically prone to erosion. Since its construction, the Sand Engine is intensively being monitored to track the morphological development.<br/><br/>The objective of this thesis is...master thesis 2017

de Rooij, Tim (author)Time-frequency analysis and digital signal processing are important tools in the field of coastal engineering. Both can be done using techniques like Fourier or wavelet analysis, however, analysts from this field experience a threshold to use wavelet analysis instead of their current methods, often Fourier-based. This is due to the lack of...master thesis 2017

Rietberg, Dolf (author)Shore-normal breakwaters are constructed in coastal zones both for beach protection (erosion reduction) and port development (wave sheltering). These breakwaters have an effect on the waves, the (wave-driven) currents and hence, the sediment transport along the coast. The waves and tide force an equilibrium sediment transport along the coast in...master thesis 2017

Simonse, Jesse (author)Since 1990, the Dutch coastline is maintained within the ‘Dynamic Preservation’ program, according to which the coastline is maintained seawards from a reference line, mainly by applying nourishments. Research into the maintenance of the Dutch coast is continuous and causes the content of the coastline preservation program to change constantly...master thesis 2017

Peters, Jochem (author)The coastal waters of Nigeria are a difficult environment to build structures to control the local morphology and hydrodynamic conditions to ones desire. This difficulty is a consequence of the persistent high-energy swell wave climate and Longshore Sediment Transport (LST) in the order of one million cubic metres per<br/>year. Besides these...master thesis 2018
