Impacts of climate change on the principles of dike design

Dike design is a very traditional craft. Since many generations dikes have been constructed in our part of Europe. After each disaster the dike was rebuilt, and improved. The improvement was always based on the experiences of the previous flood. For example, for many years the design height of a dike was determined as the height of the highest...

State-of-the-art inventory

The present report provides a state-of-the-art inventory of relevant information and technical concepts for the ComCoast project, being the first phase of the research stages of Work Package 3 (WP3). This project was assigned to Royal Haskoning by CUR. The information scan was set-up in a systematic way. About 160 relevant references have been...

Laboratory testing of clamped placed revetments: Laboratoriumonderzoek betreffende klemming van gezette steenbekledingen

Dit rapport is een onderdeel van het Onderzoekzoeksprogramma Kennisleemtes Steenbekledingen. Het betreft onderzoek op deelplan 7.3 naar de kennisleemte omtrent de bijdrage van klemming aan de stabiliteit van steenbekledingen onder golfaanval. Er is een mechanicamodel beschikbaar voor de bijdrage van klemming. Dit model gaat uit van de...

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...

Bowthrusters and the stability of a riprap revetment

Because of problems with the design guidelines produced by PIANC for armoured slopes under attack by bowthrusters, additional work has been done in the Netherlands. On the basis of this work computational rules have been developed. However, because of the increase of bowthruster power, more detailed knowledge is needed on the effect of a...

Geconcentreerde golfaanval: Veiligheid Oosterscheldedijken

Dit artikel behandelt het deelonderzoek naar de sterkte van de glooiingen van de Oosterscheldediiken onder invloed van geconcentreerde golfaanval. ln dit artikel wordt naast de vastelling van een aantal parameters, met name de vaststelling van het berwijkmodel van een glooiing belicht. De geconcentreerde aanval (lange tijd op een vast niveau) is...

The use of asphalt in hydraulic engineering

Asphalt products have been used in the Netherlands in hydraulic engineering for a long time on a large scale, especially after the great disaster in 1953 when a large part of western Holland was flooded by the sea. After the disaster a great number of dikes had to be repaired very quickly and this was possible with the use of asphalt as a...
