Dike design is a very traditional craft. Since many generations dikes have been constructed in our part of Europe. After each disaster the dike was rebuilt, and improved. The improvement was always based on the experiences of the previous flood. For example, for many years the design height of a dike was determined as the height of the highest...
In a situation with a narrow dune, the dune base can be protected with a revetment to reduce dune erosion during extreme events. To quantify the effects of a revetment on storm impact, the functionality of the numerical storm impact model XBeach (Roelvink et al., 2009) is extended to account for the complex morphodynamics around revetments. Here...

Vetiver grass is a sustainable and innovative solution for the protection of banks. It is shown that Vetiver grass is able to establish a full-stop of bank erosion caused by rapid drawdown. Therefore it provides us with strong indications that it is highly suitable as an anti-erosion measure. A combination of cohesive soil and Vetiver grass...

Dit rapport is een onderdeel van het Onderzoeksprogramma Kennisleemtes Steenbekledingen. Het betreft onderzoek op deelplan 7.3 naar de kennisleemte omtrent de bijdrage van klemming aan de stabiliteit van steenbekledingen onder golfaanval. Het beschrijft de trekproeven en schuifproeven die in het veld zijn uitgevoerd ter verificatie van het...
The increased demand on reliable design methods for protective structures has resulted in the Netherlands in preparing a set of design guidelines for revetments of the sea-, and river-dikes, and for bank protection. These guidelines are intended for technicians and organizations directly involved in the design and management of protective...

This report belongs to the research programme on unknown aspects of Block Revetment systems. The stability of block revetments under wave loading is presumed to benefit from clamping forces. In previous studies a physical model for clamping forces was developed and verified. The existing design and design checking software code SteenToets...
