Langeveld, Bram (author)Groynes are hydraulic structures commonly applied in the Dutch rivers. Depending on the water depth, groynes can be emerged or submerged. When a groyne is emerged, it has two main functions: maintaining the water depth in the main channel and preventing the river from eroding its bank. When the discharge in the river increases, the groynes...master thesis 2023

de Vries, Renée (author)Due to global warming causing climate change, extreme conditions like droughts and floods are increasingly happening. Currently buildings in the Netherlands are experiencing the consequences of these extreme conditions, which they are not build for. Especially the foundations are a big problem. Therefore this paper is aiming to find a foundation...master thesis 2023

Chowdhury, M. Kifayath (author), Blom, A. (author), Ylla Arbos, C. (author), Verbeek, Merel C. (author), Schropp, Max H.I. (author), Schielen, R.M.J. (author)A bifurcation in an engineered river system (i.e., fixed planform and width) has fewer degrees of freedom in its response to interventions and natural changes than a natural bifurcation system. Our objective is to provide insight into how a bifurcation in an engineered river responds to peak flows and human interventions. To this end, we analyze...journal article 2023

Mukolwe, Micah (author), Di Baldassarre, Giuliano (author), Bogaard, T.A. (author)The growing coincidence of occurrence of natural hazards and vulnerable societies, leading to economic damages and fatalities, has triggered more studies on benefits of prevention measures. This chapter describes a study that aims to demonstrate benefits of risk-prevention measures by applying the KULTURisk methodology (see Chapter 6). The...book chapter 2023

Abiri, Kofi (author)Natural disasters, related to water, in various forms have become more common in our daily lives and on our television screens. Within the past years, flooding has become a phenomenon which affects global, social, psychological and economic development. In Ghana there are major problems related to water and this has increased substantially over...master thesis 2022

van der Heijden, Sjoerd (author)In this thesis I use a novel approach to estimate the economic impact of the 2021 Limburg flood using high-frequency transaction data from ABN AMRO bank. High- frequency bank transaction data have previously been proven valuable in accessing the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (Neuteboom et al., 2021). To the best of my knowledge, this...master thesis 2022

Lechner, Jonas (author)Climate change intensifies the frequency and severity of floods - the most devastating and costly climate-induced hazard. Government adaptations such as dikes or beach nourishments are important, yet insufficient in the face of worsening hazards. They reduce the hazard probability, but the local actions at the household level determine the...master thesis 2022

Taberna, A. (author), Filatova, T. (author), Roventini, Andrea (author), Lamperti, Francesco (author)By 2050 about 80% of the world’s population is expected to live in cities. Cities offer spatial economic advantages that create agglomeration forces and innovation that foster concentration of economic activities, but for historic reasons cluster along coasts and rivers that are prone to climate-driven flooding. To explore tradeoffs between...conference paper 2022

Taberna, A. (author), Filatova, T. (author), Roventini, Andrea (author), Lamperti, Francesco (author)By 2050 about 70% of the world's population is expected to live in cities. Cities offer spatial economic advantages that boost agglomeration forces and innovation, fostering further concentration of economic activities. For historic reasons urban centers cluster along coasts, which are prone to climate-induced flooding and sea level rise. To...journal article 2022

Zhao, Yang (author)Due to climate change, drought-flood alternations have become more frequent and more severe in many countries in the world. However, little research has been done on the relationship between flood and drought. Thus, this research aims to investigate whether a relationship exists between multi-year droughts and the floods that follow in the post...master thesis 2021

Lu, Zichuan (author)This research took the Chongqing main town as an example to study the<br/>impact of seasonal floods in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River on the<br/>city, and strategies to improve flood resilience in the river corridor area in<br/>mountainous cities. The study first analyzed the water safety, water conflict,<br/>and water opportunities in...master thesis 2021

Hirabayashi, Yukiko (author), Alifu, Haireti (author), Yamazaki, Dai (author), Donchyts, G. (author), Kimura, Yuki (author)Floods are major natural disasters that have considerable consequences worldwide. As the frequency and magnitude of flooding are expected to be affected by ongoing climate change, understanding their past changes is important for developing adequate adaptation measures. However, the limited spatiotemporal coverage of flood gauges hinders...journal article 2021

van der Zee, Thijs (author)Flooding is a very costly natural disaster especially when it hits urban areas. Yet synthetic aperture radar (SAR) based flood mapping barely works in urban areas. Buildings and man made objects have similar backscatter signatures as still standing water. This makes them hard to distinguish from one another. Structures can block the visibility...master thesis 2019

Aranguren Rojas, Ignacio (author)This thesis adopt existing methodologies for flood-risk assessment in other civil infrastructure (such as dams or urban flooding) and apply them in road type infrastructure in order to quantitatively assess flood vulnerability and risk in project locations where historical closure data is not available and the complex global network-approach...master thesis 2019

Korswagen, Paul A. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author), Terwel, K.C. (author)Evaluating and predicting structural damage from multi-hazards is a complex task mainly due to the varying ways in which hazards affect structures. Also, different damage scales that employ different parameters and criteria are used for evaluating the hazards, making a connection between the damage assessment of two or more hazards difficult....journal article 2019

(author), Moriguchi, Shuji (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)In countries with steep rivers, such as Japan and the United States, bridges fail on an annual basis. Bridges on spread footings are especially susceptible to failure by hydrodynamic loading, often exacerbated by debris damming. Here, such failures are investigated via small scale model laboratory experiments and full scale numerical...journal article 2018

Dorgelo, Gerjan (author), van der Reijden, Ineke (author), Spannenburg, Trevor (author), van Delft, Vincent (author)At the Shonai River around Nagoya, Japan, several flood related problems occur. These problems occur at different locations, each with its own problems or limitations. The desired safety level as requested by the government is that the river should be able to have a discharge which has a probability of failure of once in 200 years. At many...student report 2018

Oudenbroek, Kevin (author)Collapse of partially or fully submerged river bridges as a result of river floods is investigated. To this end, post-failure analysis of a bridge in Japan’s Iwate Prefecture that collapsed in 2013 is conducted. Failure of this particular bridge is atypical because piers have also toppled over, which can be attributed to the spread footing...master thesis 2018

Areso Rossi, Ainoa (author), Grigoris, Xenofon (author), Moncrieff, Neil (author), Oosterom, Marieke (author), van Overstraten Kruijsse, Femke (author), Suijkens, Sven (author)Japan and the Netherlands have very different physical, historical and cultural contexts but they share a vulnerability to extreme flood related events and have, in both their (relatively) recent pasts, had to recover from such events: be they the floods of 1953 in the Netherlands or the tsunami that hit Japan’s east coast in 2011.

Leskens, Johannes G. (author), Kehl, C. (author), Tutenel, T. (author), Kol, T.R. (author), de Haan, G. (author), Stelling, G.S. (author), Eisemann, E. (author)Developing strategies to mitigate or to adapt to the threats of floods is an important topic in the context of climate changes. Many of the world’s cities are endangered due to rising ocean levels and changing precipitation patterns. It is therefore crucial to develop analytical tools that allow us to evaluate the threats of floods and to...journal article 2017
