Welsink, M.W.J. (author)The storm surge barrier and levees located in the Hollandsche IJssel do not fulfill the current safety standards according to the third nationwide safety assessment. The non-closure probability of the storm surge barrier is too high and the inner slope stability of the levees is too low. Besides the problems regarding the flooding safety also...master thesis 2013

Eelkema, M. (author)In the south-western part of the Netherlands, the system of estuaries, tidal basins and islands called the Delta, has been shaped and studied by humans for centuries. By far the largest event that determined its current configuration was the storm surge that occurred in 1953. This giant flooding gave rise to one of the largest engineering...doctoral thesis 2013

Kok, L.R. (author)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...master thesis 2013

Van Ledden, M. (author), Lansen, A.J. (author), De Ridder, H.A.J. (author), Edge, B. (author)This paper reports a reconnaissance level study of a storm surge barrier in the Mississippi River. Historical hurricanes have shown storm surge of several meters along the Mississippi River levees up to and upstream of New Orleans. Future changes due to sea level rise and subsidence will further increase the risk of flooding due to hurricane...conference paper 2012

Hofschreuder, B. (author)The Wash estuary is situated at the English east coast. Covering an area of approximately 615 km2, the estuary is among the largest estuaries in the United Kingdom. Adjacent to the Wash estuary, the Fenlands are situated, a low lying area covering almost 3900 km2. Within the last century several coastal flood disasters and near flood disasters...master thesis 2012

Zhong, H. (author), Van Overloop, P.J. (author), Van Gelder, P. (author), Rijcken, T. (author)The Rhine River Delta is crucial to the Dutch economy. The Maeslant barrier was built in 1997 to protect the Rhine estuary, with the city and port of Rotterdam, from storm surges. This research takes a simple approach to quantify the influence of the Maeslant storm surge barrier on design water levels behind the barrier. The dikes in the area...journal article 2012

Bui, N.Q. (author)The Eastern Scheldt tidal basin and its ebb tidal delta have changed drastically in the recent centuries under the influence of natural processes and human interventions. A Storm Surge Barrier, one of constructions within framework of Delta Project in the Eastern Scheldt, is considered as the largest impact to changes in hydrodynamics and...master thesis 2010

Hoogduin, L. (author)The aim of this research is to determine to what extend the scour holes limit the sediment transport through the Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier and whether or not human adaptations, like sand-nourishments in the scour holes, can have a positive effect on the sediment import. To investigate these scenarios a numerical model (Delft3D) is used...master thesis 2009

Hoogenboezem, M.P. (author)Een spinakerkering is een flexibele waterkering, waarbij het hoogwater wordt gekeerd door een hoogwaardig kunststof doek. De krachten die op het doek komen, worden opgenomen door twee kunststof kabels (onder- en bovenkabel) die de krachten afdragen naar de landhoofden. Aan de bovenkabel zijn drijvers bevestigd. Als de kering buitenwerking is,...master thesis 1998

Keuzenkamp, A.J.M. (author)De reden van dit haalbaarheidsonderzoek is het corrosieprobleem van de huidige stalen schuiven in de Stormvloedkering Oosterschelde. Tijdens de bouw van de kering bleek het verven van de schuiven een langdurig proces. Zozeer zelfs, dat men dreigde de officiele opening niet te gaan halen. In overleg met de aannemer is toen besloten een andere...master thesis 1998

Mooij, M. (author)De stonnvloedkering die ontworpen is voor de lagune bij de stad Venetië bestaat uit kleppen die onder normale omstandigheden verzonken liggen op de bodem. Als een hoge waterstand dreigt kunnen de kleppen vol worden gepompt met lucht, zodat ze, draaiend om een scharnier op de bodem, omhoog drijven en een waterstandsverschil kunnen keren. De...master thesis 1995

Janssen, J.P.F.M. (author), Jorissen, R.E. (author)In 1989 the Dutch government decided to build a storm surge barrier in the New Waterway near Rotterdam being a good and cheap alternative for the necessary strengthening of dikes along the lower regions of the Dutch rivers Rhine and Meuse. To be feasible the barrier had to meet several goals. The most important ones being : * closing frequency...report 1991
