Peters, D.J. (author)Het project betreft het beproeven van teenconstructies met een horizontale kracht. De gedachte daarbij is dat deze kracht de belasting representeert die de bekleding uitoefent op de teenconstructie indien deze naar beneden glijdt en tegen de teen gaat rusten. Er zijn twee locaties beproefd. Op één locatie bestaat de teenconstructie uit een rij...report 2008

Schanze, J. (author)The report follows the answers to the main goals of the study conducted by CTU. The first part review flood defence structures on the Stropnice River. The second part identifies changes in detention capacity. The detention capacity of the watershed has not change during last century, due to minimal changes in land-use. The third part identifies...report 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

Kolkman, P.A. (author), Jongeling, T.H.G. (author)English translation of ""Dynamisch gedrag van waterbouwkundige constructies". The subject is treated from the standpoint of hydrodynamics and applied mechanics, in which a certain knowledge of both fields of study is presupposed. The interaction phenomena are discussed on that basis. The subject matter is not treated exhaustively, but the book...report 2007

Oumeraci, H. (author)Coastal dikes are used as defence structures against flooding in lowland areas and where high tidal ranges occur. The development of a breach induced by wave overtopping has been one of the most frequent causes of dike failure and it is closely related both to the dynamics of a protected coast and to the flood risk assessment and management. At...report 2006

De Rouck, J. (author), Geeraerts, J. (author), Troch, P. (author), Kortenhaus, A. (author), Pullen, T. (author), Franco, L. (author)It is proven that wave run up on rough slopes is underestimated in small scale model tests due to scale / model effects. Given this fact, the same effects are suspected to be present for wave overtopping. A thorough comparison between prototype measurements of wave overtopping at three different coastal structures and scale model tests of these...report 2005

Geeraerts, J. (author), De Rouck, J. (author)Within the framework of the CLASH-white spot tests, wave overtopping tests on a smooth sloping structure have been performed at UGent. 3 different geometries have been tested during these tests 1) simple smooth dike 2) simple smooth dike with a small vertical part (same crest level as geometry 1) 3) simple smooth dike with a small vertical part...report 2005

Lykke Andersen, T. (author), Burcharth, H.F. (author)Based on a database of laboratory data on wave overtopping (around 10,000 tests) a neural network technique is used for producing a generic prediction method. In the first database (around 7,000 tests) the following white spots were detected where additional tests could improve the generic prediction method. This report deals with the laboratory...report 2004

Lykke Andersen, T. (author), Burcharth, H.F. (author)Tests have been performed with low steepness and reshaping breakwaters at Ghent University and Aalborg University respectively. The reshaping breakwater is a type of breakwater where the information on overtopping is very limited. The additional tests are described in the following four reports: ..

Part A was undertaken by Aalborg University who investigated the effect of wave obliquity. Edinburgh were commissioned to undertake a series experiments to determine the relative difference in overtopping...report 2004

(author)One of the main objectives within the EU-project CLASH (www.clash-eu.org) was to create a generic prediction method for wave overtopping at coastal structures by means of the Neural Network technique. An extensive and homogeneous database on wave overtopping was set up within CLASH, mainly with the aim to be used for the training process of the...report 2004

A second, related, objective is to improve existing codes in such a way as they are able to simulate wave overtopping in a reliable way. The final, single, objective is to numerically model long waves...report 2004

Jonsson, P. (author)This report focuses on detecting and predicting patterns of epibiota on Low Crested Structures in relation to the hydrodynamic environment. From fieldwork together with statistical and theoretical analyses several conclusions could be made about identified relations between epibiotic and hydrodynamic regime.report 2003
