Understanding and Predicting Failure Modes: Failure Modes for Revetments

Report detailing failure modes for flood defence revetments, contributing detailed failure mode information into Task 4 Failure Modes Report.

Placed revetments under wave attack: Study of structural mechanics ( Gezette steenbekledingen onder golfaanval Mechanicastudie liggerwerking )

This report studies clamping phenomena in placed revetments on the Dutch dikes. One of the reasons of placing stones is that the stability of the single stones increases. Pull–out tests on single stones show a strength up to 10 times the single stone weight. In present standardized design methods for placed revetments there is no significant...

Compendium of Hydraulic Structures

These lecture notes are an attempt to compile various existing matierial on hydraulic structures into a kind of handbook that servers two purposes: (1) to acquint the participants of the Hydraulic Engineering courses with the English terminology in the field of hydraulic structures; (2) to present an overview of the field of hydraulic structures...
