Winkel, S. (author)In the current breakwater design process, not all feasible concepts can be explored due to time constraints. However, designers are also influenced by breakwaters constructed near, or at the same location as their breakwater project. But also conservative assumptions influence the breakwater design process, for instance, regarding the wave...master thesis 2020

Leferink, F.H. (author)The design and construction of quay walls are processes that exist for many centuries and have become more complex and challenging in current engineering practice. For the design of quay walls a number of guidelines and design codes have been developed over the years. These give the requirements that a quay wall structure should meet, but do...master thesis 2020

Pleij, markus (author)The drinking water company PDAM Tirtawening has two pipelines that supply raw water to the treatment plant. The pipelines stretch out for 31 kilometers from Chikalong(small nearby town) to the treatment plant in Badaksinga in Bandung. For one of those pipelines the current flow to the treatment plant is well below the design flow. The original...student report 2019

Koote, Melvin (author)Erosion and sedimentation are natural processes that occur in natural flows.<br/>If the erosion is a threat for a structure, a bed protection is necessary to stop this process. A bed protection usually consists of relatively large stones.<br/>For calculating the required dimeter of the stones several formulae are available, of which the formula...master thesis 2017

(author), Vilar, M.A. (author)In this work, we take interest in hydraulic structures that enable fish to over- come stream obstructions (such as dams and weirs) to their spawning and other river migrations. Particularly, we study the design of a vertical slot fishway, that is, a rect- angular channel built on a side of the dam, with a sloping floor, that is divided into a...conference paper 2006
