Een simulatiestudie naar verbetering van de congestieproblematiek in de Witte de Withstraat (Rotterdam)

De Witte de Withstraat is een belangrijke straat in Rotterdam. Er zijn veel winkels, galerieën en horecagelegenheden gevestigd. Deze ondernemers dienen allemaal bevoorraad te worden, wat veel logistieke handelingen oplevert in de straat. Naast de grote logistieke stroom rijdt er veel regulier verkeer door de straat. De combinatie van deze twee...

The effect of loading efficiency on the groundwater response to water level changes in shallow lakes and streams

The loading efficiency (sometimes called the tidal efficiency) is often neglected when simulating the head response in an aquifer to water level changes in lakes and streams. This is not appropriate when the lake or stream only partially penetrates the aquifer. In such cases, the aquifer extends below the lake or stream and is hydraulically...

Motion criteria for the efficient (un)loading of container vessels

Designers of maritime container terminals often experience difficulties in defining an acceptable degree of moored ship motions at the terminal to allow efficient (un)loading of container vessels. PIANC has published criteria for the principal movements of certain types of moored ships in harbours in relation to (un)loading efficiency (PIANC,...
