Influence of water level duration on dike breach triggering, focusing on system behaviour hazard analyses in lowland rivers

Hazard analysis is a crucial step in flood risk management, and for large rivers, the effects of breaches need to be taken into account. Hazard analyses that incorporate this overall “system behaviour” have become increasingly popular in flood risk assessment. Methods to perform such analyses often focus on high water levels as a trigger for...

Influence of load interdependencies of flood defences on probabilities and risks at the Bovenrijn/IJssel area, The Netherlands

In the Netherlands, flood risk analysis is usually carried out for a location, without considering potential flood defence failures in upstream areas. This may result in significant over- or underestimation of flood risks. The effect of upstream failures on failure probabilities and flood risks in other areas is called load interdependence of...

Load interdependencies of flood defences

In the Netherlands flood risks are often assessed by using a dike ring approach. This approach has, aside from many advantages, also some disadvantages. The main disadvantage is that, when zooming in on a small area, the effect of the system on that small area and vice versa, is or cannot be accounted for properly. Research has shown that for a...

Bresgroei - deel IV: Pragmatische modellering breedtegroei

Het voorliggende onderzoek heeft tot doel inzicht te verschaffen in de wijze waarop het verloop van het instroomdebiet en de binnenwaterstand afhangen van de breedtegroei van de bres. De resultaten van deze verkenning geven aan in hoeverre (of en zoja, met welke middelen) nader onderzoek naar het proces van bresgroei gewenst is en wat de...
