Numerical Modelling of Liquefaction Under Embankments Subjected To Cyclic Loads By Wind Turbines

Recent development have caused that the policy regarding the installation of onshore wind turbines on embankments has changed to 'Yes, provided that ...' in the Netherlands. (Simplified) approaches are available within professional practice to analyse the risk of liquefaction, but are considered to be conservative. In this thesis, a methodology...

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic Modelling of Wave Impact: A numerical and theoretical analysis of non-breaking wave loads on structures with overhang

Hydraulic structures can be prone to impulsive wave impact, which is a highly stochastic and uncertain process. This type of impact, defined by extreme pressure peaks and a very short duration, is not only caused by breaking waves, but also by non-breaking standing waves on structures with an overhang, such as culverts and steel gates. In this...
