Analyses grass erosion in wave run-up and wave overtopping conditions

Within the framework of WTI, Research and Development of Flood Defence Assessment Tools (Wettelijk Toetsinstrumentarium), which is called in Dutch: WTI-2017 "Onderzoek en ontwikkeling landelijk toetsinstrumentarium", research was carried out to develop an erosion model for grass in the wave run-up zone consistent with the current model in use...

A clay layer as a revetment for sea dikes: The behaviour of clay under wave loading

Environmental awareness and sustainable development have been popular themes over the last few years. To improve dikes along the estuaries in Zeeland (The Netherlands) where a high foreland with natural areas of salt marshes is present, alternatives to stone revetments are examined. From a natural and aesthetic point of view, a slope covered...

Describes a relation between wave impact and clay strength.

Erosion of sediment through cellular revetment blocks applied as slope protection along coasts and inland waterways

Erosion of banks and dikes subjected to water motion can be prevented, for instance by application of cellular concrete revetment blocks. This type of revetment combined the merits of a closed block revetment and a slope revetment consisting of loose materials. Advantages are high permeability, high stability against wave attack and low block...
