Bijlsma, E. (author)From 2004 to 2007 several pilot tests with an Elastocoast revetment were constructed along the North-Sea islands in the most northern part of Germany. In 2007 Elastocoast was introduced to the Dutch market. Arcadis supervised the construction and monitoring of two prototype pilots in the Netherlands. (September 2007) Revetment on a rudimentary...report 2009

Piontkowitz, T. (author)A large number of the dikes in the North Sea and Baltic Sea regions are covered with grass that is exposed to hydraulic loading from waves and currents during storm surges. During previous storm surges the grass cover layers often showed large strength and remained undamaged. A clear physical understanding of the failure of grass cover layers...report 2009

Davidse, M.P. (author)In the year 1991 the Technical Advisory Commission (TAW-A4) ordered a full scale investigation on wave impacts on an asphaltic concrete revetment. The goal of the experiment was to gain insight into the mechanisms which would lead to failure, cracking of the revetment. Also the behaviour of the revetment after failure (residual strength) was...master thesis 2009

Klein Breteler, M. (author)Het Onderzoeksprogramma Kennisleemtes Steenbekledingen heeft tot nu toe veel nieuwe kennis opgeleverd. Een van de manieren om deze kennis beschikbaar te stellen aan gebruikers is door middel van een gebruiksvriendelijk computerprogramma waarmee steenzettingen getoetst en ontworpen kunnen worden. In het onderhavige verslag is gedetailleerd...report 2009

Klein Breteler, M. (author)Ingevolge de Wet op de Waterkering dienen steenzettingen op waterkeringen vijfjaarlijks getoetst te worden. In de praktijk kan aan veel steenzettingen geen definitief toetsoordeel toegekend worden wegens een gebrek aan wetenschappelijke kennis. In 2003 is daarom door de Dienst Weg- en Waterbouwkunde van Rijkswaterstaat het Onderzoeksprogramma...report 2009

Peters, D.J. (author)Het project betreft het beproeven van teenconstructies met een horizontale kracht. De gedachte daarbij is dat deze kracht de belasting representeert die de bekleding uitoefent op de teenconstructie indien deze naar beneden glijdt en tegen de teen gaat rusten. Er zijn twee locaties beproefd. Op één locatie bestaat de teenconstructie uit een rij...report 2008

Bijlsma, E. (author)Elastocoast is a new type of revetment system for use as a cover layer on dikes. It consists of granular material (rocks), which is fixed together with a two-component polyurethane adhesive. In the Elastocoast system each individual rock is covered with a thin film of polyurethane. When the adhesive is cured, this film fixes the rocks together...master thesis 2008

Bijlsma, E. (author)In September 2007 two prototype pilot tests were constructed along the Dutch coast with an experimental, polymer based revetment. An area of 490 m2 was put on a dike slope in the Eastern-Scheldt basin, and another 385 m2 on the horizontal surface of a beach groyne near the Pettemer Zeewering along the North-Sea coast. The revetment consists of...master thesis 2008

Elastocoast, a new coastal protection material made from stones and polyurethane, is such a material. This study examined the recovery and growth during the winter of 2007-2008 of the biological community on two dykes in the Netherlands which...report 2008

Gu, D. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Van de Ven, M. (author)PUR-revetment is a newly developed method for hydraulic application. Its structure is similar to that of open stone asphalt revetment, but the crushed stones are glued by polyurethane (PUR) instead of bitumen. To study the feasibility of applying PUR-revetment, a research based on the comparisons between PUR-revetment and open stone asphalt...journal article 2008

It is shown that Vetiver grass is able to establish a full-stop of bank erosion caused by rapid drawdown. Therefore it provides us with strong indications that it is highly suitable as an anti-erosion measure. A combination of cohesive soil and Vetiver grass...conference paper 2008
