Bed level change in the upper Rhine Delta since 1926 and rough extrapolation to 2050

01/11/2019 - Rivers2Morrow
This study constitutes a first step into predicting the long term morphodynamic response of the Upper Rhine- Delta to climate change. The aim is to get deeper insight into past bed level trends and explore options for data-based extrapolation.

A characterization of side channel development

Van Denderen, R.P., R. Schielen, M. Straatsma, M. Kleinhans, S. Hulscher - 01/11/2019 - RiverCare
Side channel generally aggrade. The rate at this occurs depends on the design of the side channel. We propose three categeories of side channels which can be used to estimate the time scale of side channel development

Eemdijk full-scale field test programme: ground dike and sheet pile dike failure test

Lengkeek, A., Post, M., Breedeveld, J., & Naves, T. - 01/09/2019 - All-Risk
Two similar test dikes were constructed at full scale (5m high, 25m wide, 60m long) to gain better understanding of the failure mechanism and deformations for both dikes, one of which served as a reference for the dike that had an 18m long sheet pile wall was installed.

Impact of the Eemdijk full-scale test programme

Breedeveld, J., Zwanenburg, C., Van, M., & Lengkeek, A. - 01/09/2019 - All-Risk
This paper describes the rationale behind the test setup and operation of the test programme in relation to the current design codes and guidelines. First the set of knowledge questions to be resolved is considered. These questions gave direction to the type of failure tests, the required instrumentation and the impact of conclusions.
