Der Einfluss von Gräser- und Gehölzwurzeln auf die Scherfestigkeit von Böden und damit auf die Standsicherheit von Hängen und Böschungen

The effect of roots of grass and other vegetation on the strength of a clay and sand slope, as used in dikes and revetments. Focus on shear stress.

EroGRASS: Failure of grass cover layers at seaward and shoreward dike slopes. design, construction and performance

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...

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...
