Spanjers, C.M. (author)Voorstudie Om de leidende rol die de haven van Rotterdam in de wereldhandel heeft te kunnen handhaven is het noodzakelijk voor de komende decennia ruimte te creeren in de nabijheid van de haven. Dit kan door het aanleggen van een tweede Maasvlakte, een landaanwinning in zee. Het is mogelijk gebleken deze Maasvlakte 2 technisch, morfologisch,...master thesis 1997

De Rover, R.A. (author)At breakwater and seawall projects at Port St Francis and Scarborough breakage of single layer interlocking armour units was observed. It is generally assumed that breakage of single layer armour units has a significant negative effect on the hydraulic stability of a rubble mound breakwater. The significant decrease of interlocking capacity and...master thesis 2007

Sinke, J.J. (author)Een teenconstructie van een golfbreker is het deel van een golfbreker dat zich aan de onderzijde van het golfbrekertalud bevindt. Een teenconstructie geeft steun aan het voortalud van de golfbreker en voorkomt, samen met andere golfbrekeronderdelen, het wegspoelen van constructiemateriaal en ondergrond vanonder een golfbreker. Bij het...master thesis 1998

Heijn, K.M. (author)Recently, interest in vertical breakwaters has grown. The development of ports from natural small harbours to artificial large harbours facing the outer sea has demanded the construction of breakwaters in rougher seas. The vertical breakwater could play a role of importance in this development. To obtain general guidelines for the design of...master thesis 1997

Van der Linde, J.P. (author)Two dimensional physical model tests are executed with Xbloc armour units on low crested structures to answer the objective. On the basis of findings in the literature study it can be expected that the stability of the Xbloc elements on low-crested breakwaters is a function of crest freeboard and crest width. The crest freeboard (Rc/Dn) varied...master thesis 2009

Kersten, M.K. (author)Albania has the following major sea ports: Durrës, Vlora, Sarandë and Shëngjin. The port of Durrës has the biggest share in the volume of import/export in Albania, nearly 75%. Due to current development rates, limited possibilities for expansion and pollution in the city because of its vicinity to the port, projects are identified to construct a...master thesis 2010

Wittteman, E. (author)Although a lot is known nowadays about the run-up on smooth and impermeable slopes as well as the run-up on slopes covered with a rock armour layer, the physical properties of the armour layer of a rubble mound breakwater are not incorporated in the relations describing the run-up on a breakwater’s slope. The roughness of a slope and its...master thesis 1999

Chittibabu, P. (author)Visakhapatnam is one of the major ports along the east coast of India. An outer harbar in 1976 is constructed to accomadate large ships and to meet the requirements of the ever growing industries of Visakhapatnam. For the maintainance of the Visakhapatnam outer harbour(VOH) two breakwaters are constructed at the south and east end of the harbar....master thesis 1989

Sveinbjornsson, P.I. (author)A major part of the breakwaters constructed in the world are the so-called conventional rouble mound breakwaters, which consist of a core, a filter layer and a heavy armour layer. An alternative to the conventional rouble mound breakwater is a berm breakwater. Berm breakwaters have mainly developed in two directions over the last couple of...master thesis 2008

Vos, Amber (author)In this MSc thesis it is investigated how the first version of concrete armour unit Xbloc<sup>+</sup>, Xbloc<sup>+ v1</sup>, acquires its stability. The stability mechanisms are investigated by conducting two type of physical model tests. First, 23 dry pull-out tests are done to obtain insights into the aspects and mechanisms that influence the...master thesis 2017

Scaminee, P.P. (author)This study comprises the design of the reconstruction of the main breakwater of the Tripoli Harbour in Libya. Tripoli harbour is one of the oldest harbours of North Africa situated on the Southern coast of Mediterranean Sea. The harbour as it existed in 1972 was built at the beginning of this century and was protected by two main breakwaters....master thesis 1998

Mingou, P. (author)Breakwaters are important for the preservation and development of coastal areas. Submerged breakwaters have significant advantages compared to emerged, such as economical construction and preservation, milder effect on landscape and under conditions, preservation of marine flora and fauna inside it. The main objective of this study is to give...master thesis 2011

van der Hoek, Alexander (author)The aim of the Building with Nature (BwN) design philosophy is to improve on a traditional approach for infrastructural projects by utilising natural processes to create benefits for society and nature. In a fast-changing world where climate action is becoming increasingly important, there is need for an innovative approach in large...master thesis 2018

Vink, H.A.T. (author)The need for coastal structures, such as breakwaters, at great water depths is rapidly increasing as a result ofthe increasing draught of large vessels and off-shore land reclamations which can, for instance, be used for the benefit of the expansion of harbours and related industrial activities. In water depths greater than approximately 10 m...master thesis 1997

Broere, A. (author)The protection of breakwater structures is in this research considered. The design of rubble mound concrete armour layers for breakwaters can be divided in a single layer system and a double layer system. The single layer system is nowadays mostly applied because of the high interlocking, high stability of the structure, reduction of concrete...master thesis 2015

Mulders, P.H.M. (author)During the construction of breakwaters contractors often encounter undesired reshaping of exposed core material. This reshaping is comparable to the deformation process of berm breakwaters in which the outer profile reshapes into a more stable s-curve. In the case of oblique waves this deformation is enhanced by a longshore transport of stones...master thesis 2010

De Heij, J. (author)The first one who studied the problem of armour layer stability was Iribarren (1938). Iribarren derived stability criteria that were based on the acting physical processes on the slope of a structure. In the stability criteria of Iribarren only the influence of a few structural and hydraulic parameters were taken into account. In 1988 Van der...master thesis 2001

Verdegaal, I. (author)The permeability of a breakwater is of great importance for the stability of the armour layer. The influence of the structural permeability on the stability of rock armour units was already researched by Van der Meer using the 'notional' permeabiltiy. However, for single layer interlocking armour units the influence core permeability is rather...master thesis 2013

Huijssoon, W.P. (author)Onderzoek naar de inzet van materieel voor het transport van stenen over water, ten behoeve van de bouw van een golfbreker. Vanuit de praktijk (Boskalis) is de vraag gekomen om het bakkentransportproces, zoals dat plaatsvindt bij de bouw van offshore golfbrekers, nader te bestuderen. De reden daarvan is, dat de berekende productie met behulp van...master thesis 1998
