Feasibility study on fibre reinforced polymer slides in the Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier

In this thesis a feasibility study is performed for the design of fibre reinforeed polymer (FRP-) slides to replace the steel slides in the Eastern Scheldt storm surge harrier. The advantage of using FRP-slides is the far better corrosion resistance then in case of using steel. For the design different variants of FRP-slides have been...

Feasibility study for FRP in large hydraulic structures

In this master thesis the feasibility of FRP in large hydraulic structures is investigated, specifically the feasibility of FRP in lifting gates. This thesis consists of a literature and case study. In the literature study the possibilities of FRP as construction material are mentioned. In the case study a lifting gate is designed for a storm...
