With the ever-growing computational power of personal computers over the past few
decades, stochastic simulation of spatially varying three-dimensional (3D) quantities has …

Open-topped woven polypropylene cellular containers filled with dense granular ballasts
are often used as emergency flood defence structures. The effectiveness of these systems is …

Assessing the overtopping risk has become a necessity in face of ever-changing, extreme
weather conditions. This study proposed a novel probabilistic framework to evaluate the …

In this paper the safety of a double-dike system (or twin dikes) is assessed. Such a system
consist of two parallel lines of flood defences. During storms the combined strength of the …

Climate change and deterioration require a continuous effort to reinforce flood defences and
meet reliability requirements. To efficiently upgrade flood defence systems, insight in costs …

Long infrastructures, like flood defense levees, built upon diverse soils, often face complex
landslide failures. Risk assessments for such structures involve evaluating slope stability …

Abstract The Wettelijk Beoordelingsinstrumentarium (WBI) is the legal set of instruments for
flood risk analysis in the Netherlands. Often, engineers have the impression that some …

Uncertainties about climate change consequences, changing societal requirements and
system complexity require flood protection asset managers to continuously evaluate their …

The condition of flood defence revetments is influenced by many different degradation
processes such as animal burrowing, rutting and growth of weeds. Many of these processes …

Many countries rely on flood defence systems to prevent economic damage and loss-of-life
due to catastrophic floods. Asset managers of flood defence systems need to cope with the …
