Valk, A. (author)The safety of a large part of the Netherlands depends on sea dikes. Due to climate change, a sea level rise is predicted. Together with stronger storms and more wave attack, wave overtopping on the current dikes will increase. As a response, crest levels of the dikes need to be raised in order to meet the present regulations for wave overtopping...master thesis 2009

Mai, C.V. (author), Van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author), Mai, T.C. (author)This paper aims at risk analysis and the investigation of safety aspects of coastal flood defences in Vietnam. The sea dike system has been actually designed by a 20 to 25 years return period. From the current situation it seems that the dike system is not sufficient to withstand the actual sea boundary conditions. Accurate safety assessment of...conference paper 2008

Kortenhaus, A. (author)This report reviews previous investigations on hydraulic loading conditions for different types of flood defence structures such as sea dikes, dunes, beaches and seawalls. For each of these structures the physical processes involved are discussed in some detail and methods are given to either predict relevant input parameters for failure modes...report 2007

Dahlerus, C.J.; Egermayer, D. (author)The main objectives of this study was to analyze waves and water levels, from existing climate data, to make conclusions about how the beach, particularly the sand dunes, at Ystad Sandskog has been influenced by the coastal climate up to today. Based on available forecasts, possible scenarios were developed for this area, making it possible to...report 2006

Oedekerk, M. (author)Climate change will cause increasing physical loads on the flood defence of the Province of Groningen along the North Sea over the next decades. This is caused by a sea level rise between 15 and 35 centimetres whilst the ground level is lowering between 38 and 48 centimetres until the year 2050. This results in salt-water intrusion into the land...report 2006

Pilarczyk, K.W. (author)As a low-lying and highly developed country, the Netherlands is continuously facing potential flooding disasters. Thats why we need strong safe water-retaining structures like sea and river-dikes. Moreover half of the country lies below mean high water level. Without dikes more than half of the country would be endangered by flooding. About 60%...report 2003

Pilarczyk, K.W. (author), Eversdijk, P.J. (author), Kant, G. (author)The coastal areas of Vietnam are repeatedly hit by devastating storms and typhoons. Protective sea dikes are overtopped or breached frequently, with the resulting flooding causing damage to agriculture land, loss of life and crops, and destruction of infrastructure. In the coastal area of the five northern provinces of the Red River Delta, 361...report 1996
