Criteria voor toepassing van bekledingen op waterkeringen: Hulpmiddel voor ontwikkeling van innovatieve dijkbekledingen

Traditioneel worden dijken bekleedt met steenzettingen, asfalt, gras of breuksteen. Echter, er worden steeds meer initiatieven voorgesteld waarbij innovatieve materialen worden toegepast als dijkbekleding. Deze initiatieven zul len in de toekomst leiden tot een efficienter of maatschappelijk beter geaccepteerde dijkbekleding. Tot nag toe is voor...

Failure modes for revetments and dunes

The present report describes the research done within the framework of Activity 1.2 of Task 4 of the European Union FLOODsite project. It contains an inventory of the failure modes, predictive equations and related uncertainties for revetments and dunes, based work already undertaken in The Netherlands, including limit state equations and...

Reservoir dams: Wave conditions, wave overtopping and slab protection

This report describes research to simplify and consolidate the prediction of wave action in reservoirs; to calculate wave induced discharges on embankments; and to extend work on blockwork and slabbing protection for dam faces presented by Herbert et.al (1995) in the companion report SR 345. The report should be used by engineers involved in the...

Stability of terrafix blocks under wave attack

This study was undertaken to provide Terrafix Erosion Control Products Inc. with experimental data on the stability of their block systems when subjected to wave attack. The Terrafix block system is one of many different schemes developed over the years to protect revetments from wave attack. Systems as varied as rip rap, asphalt, tires,...
