Magherini, A. (author), Yan Toe, C. (author), Stancanelli, L.M. (author), Wüthrich, D. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)Plastic pollution is a threat for all ecosystems due to its effects on people, animals, and environment (Mai et al., 2020). Rivers are estimated to transport around 0.5 millions tons of plastic per year (Strokal et al., 2023). When plastic enters a river system, it is transported downstream towards the sea but it is also likely to accumulate at...abstract 2024

Multifunctional flood defenses protect areas against flooding, but<br/>serve other functions as well. Although these types of defenses<br/>can be seen almost everywhere, they pose special technical and<br/>governance challenges.<br/><br/>This book is about a unique interdisciplinary research program<br/>developed to tackle some of the issues...book 2017

Gard, W.F. (author), Van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author), Cabrera de Diego, M. (author)Hydraulic timber structures such as mooring poles, fenders, lock gates and jetties are widely-used in inner and sea harbours all over the world. In general these structures give satisfactory performance with regard to the technical requirements. Because of the harsh exposure conditions such as brackish and contaminated water, drying-out,...conference paper 2014

de Almeida Sousa, E. (author), Hofland, Bas (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)The study of wave impact physics and magnitudes are key for the design of vertical coastal hydraulic structures. This research addresses the study of standing wave impacts on vertical coastal hydraulic structures with a relatively short horizontal overhang, which is especially relevant for structures such as lock gates, sluice gates, dewatering...conference paper 2019

Bakker, A.M.R. (author), Busnach, Tycho (author), Mooyaart, L.F. (author), Van Gijzen, L. (author)The efficacy of risk models and risk analyses critically hinges on sufficient model evaluation. Nevertheless, the usefulness for the intended purpose is rarely systematically assessed. Poor or even lacking model evaluation of the applied risk models and analyses also troubles the asset management of storm surge barriers in the Netherlands. In...conference paper 2023

de Almeida Sousa, E. (author)Hydraulic structures are crucial for navigation, water management and flood protection in low-lying coastal and delta regions. Their importance is expected to continue growing in the coming years, because of the consequences of climate change and the continuous development and urbanization of these regions combined with more strict safety...doctoral thesis 2023

Cortes Arevalo, V.J. (author)This thesis describes the development and testing of a methodology to use information collected by volunteers and technicians on the status of hydraulic structures, applicable for day-to-day risk management. The study was performed in the northeastern Italian Alps of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region. A decision support method was developed and...doctoral thesis 2016

de Almeida Sousa, E. (author), Hofland, Bas (author)This study focuses on standing wave impacts on vertical hydraulic structures with relatively short overhangs. It addresses the demand for extended knowledge and loading prediction expressions for these structures. Based on laboratory experimental data from 146 tests, this paper works on two complementary objectives. Firstly, this study extends...journal article 2021

Vader, Hidde (author), Bakker, A.M.R. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author), van den Boomen, M. (author), van Baaren, Esther (author), Diermanse, Ferdinand L.M. (author)Over the course of the last century, storm surge barriers have been built in several countries and proven to be successful in preventing flooding. However, the operation, reliability, and remaining life of these structures have come under increased pressure due to changing demands, intensified utilisation, and climate change. Yet, there is...journal article 2023

Verbeek, Merel C. (author), Labeur, R.J. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)The tidal flow between bridge pillars and through open barriers is a promising source of ocean energy which can be exploited using tidal stream turbines, as proven recently by operational demonstration plants. The aim of this study is to clarify the consequences for the power output of tidal turbines when placing them in a hydraulic structure...journal article 2021

Wüthrich, D. (author), Shi, Rui (author), Chanson, Hubert (author)Abstract: Hydraulic jumps are commonly employed as energy dissipators to guarantee long-term operation of hydraulic structures. A comprehensive and in-depth understanding of their main features is therefore fundamental. In this context, the current study focused on hydraulic jumps with low Froude numbers, i.e. Fr<sub>1</sub> = 2.1 and 2.4, at...journal article 2022

(author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Hydraulic structures can be a promising place for tidal energy extraction due to the high flow velocities, easy access to the power grid and easy access for maintenance. However, quantification of the impacts of a tidal power plant in a hydraulic structure is not straight forward. In 2015 a pilot plant consisting of an array of five Tocardo...journal article 2023

de Almeida Sousa, E. (author), Hofland, Bas (author)The applicability of pressure-impulse theory is evaluated for predicting wave impact loading magnitudes for non-breaking standing wave impacts on vertical hydraulic structures with relatively short overhangs. To this end, tests were carried out on a schematized but realistic configuration with low steepness regular wave impacts on a straight...journal article 2020

Meinen, Nadieh Elisabeth (author), Maria, Raphaël Daniël Johannes (author), Hofland, Bas (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)Vertical slender hydraulic structures such as sluices, navigation locks, or storm-surge barriers are often dynamically loaded by waves. For a safe and economic design, an accurate description of the wave loads is needed. A widely used formula for this purpose is the Goda–Takahashi wave load formula (GT). It was derived for the assessment of...journal article 2020

Onwuachu, Robbert (author)The combination of continuous sea level rise, and more frequent extreme river discharges will become a rapidly developing problem for the Rhine-Meuse delta over the course of the next century. The current Dutch delta management policy mostly revolves around the consistent improvement of the existing dikes to account for the increasing water...master thesis 2021

Smit, Michiel (author)Coastal and offshore infrastructure must be designed to withstand extreme wave-induced loading conditions. Extreme Value Analysis (EVA) is often employed to infer probabilistic distributions that provide information about extreme design conditions. In traditional practices, EVA is performed under the assumption of stationarity. This means that...master thesis 2022
