Formulating wave overtopping at vertical and sloping structures with shallow foreshores using deep-water wave characteristics

Lashley, C. H., Van der Meer, J., Bricker, J. D., Altomare, C., Suzuki, T., and Hirayama, K. - 31/08/2021 - All-Risk
Accurate estimates of wave height and period at the structure toe often proves difficult and requires the use of either physical modeling or high-resolution numerical wave models. Here, we follow Goda's method to establish an accurate prediction by directly incorporating the foreshore slope and the relative water depth at the structure toe.

Formulating wave overtopping at vertical and sloping structures with shallow foreshores using deep-water wave characteristicsn

Lashley, C. H., Van der Meer, J., Bricker, J. D., Altomare, C., Suzuki, T., and Hirayama, K. - 31/08/2021 - All-Risk
Nauwkeurige schattingen van golfhoogte en periode bij de constructieteen blijken vaak moeilijk en vereisen het gebruik van fysieke modellering of numerieke golfmodellen met hoge resolutie. Hier volgen we de methode van Goda om een nauwkeurige voorspelling vast te stellen door de vooroeverhelling en de relatieve waterdiepte bij de constructieteen direct op te nemen.

Flood risk reduction by parallel flood defences

Marijnissen, R., Kok, M., Kroeze, C., & van Loon-Steensma, J. - 01/08/2021 - All-Risk
Dubbele dijken moeten worden beoordeeld aan de hand van de overgedragen belastingen van parallelle keringen in plaats van het bezwijken van individuele keringen. De casus van deze parallelle verdediging bestaat uit een lage dijk landwaarts van een hoge dijk aan de kust die, hoewel ontworpen met multifunctionele bestemming via een duiker, heeft een verwaarloosbare verbetering van de bescherming tegen overstromingen.

Flood risk reduction by parallel flood defences

Marijnissen, R., Kok, M., Kroeze, C., & van Loon-Steensma, J. - 01/08/2021 - All-Risk
Double dikes should be assessed using the transmitted loads of parallel defences rather than the failure of individual defences. The case study of this parallel defence consists of a low dike landward of a tall dike at the coast that, although designed with multi-functional purpose via a culvert, has a negligible improvement in flood protection.

Multidecadal Analysis of an Engineered River System Reveals Challenges for Model-Based Design of Human Interventions

Berends KD, Gensen MRA, Warmink JJ, Hulscher SJMH - 14/07/2021 - RiverCare
Models predict water level decrease, but measurements are too uncertain for now. This reveals a challenge for validation model predictions of human intervention

Anthropogenic Effects on the Contemporary Sediment Budget of the Lower Rhine‐Meuse Delta Channel Network

01/07/2021 - Rivers2Morrow
In this research, we construct sediment budgets which quantify annual changes for the urbanized Rhine‐Meuse Delta of the Netherlands, a typical urban delta experiences changing fluvial and coastal fluxes of sediment, engineering works and dredging and dumping activities. The delta shows a negative sediment budget (more outgoing than incoming sediment) since the 1980s, due to anthropogenic intervention.
