Understanding the role of beach morphology in controlling wave overtopping volume will
further minimise uncertainties in flood risk assessments at coastal locations defended by …

Current design codes like the Eurocode use safety or reliability classes to assign target
reliabilities to different types of structures or structural members according to the potential …

Given the large investments in dike construction and reinforcements, optimisation of these
interventions could contribute to significant cost savings. In this study, a probabilistic method …

Physical climate-related risks facing airports: an assessment of the world’s largest 100
airports Briefing Paper September 20 Page 1 Physical climate-related risks facing airports …

This paper aims at probabilistic investigation of various possible failure mechanisms which
often experience by coastal flood defence structures under the impact of sea loads. The …

Extreme sea level events are a current global threat, whilst sea-level rise (SLR) and climate
change over the 21st century will increase the frequency and severity of flooding in most …

Adaptation strategies are used to reduce vulnerability in response to storms and sea-level
rise (SLR). An adaptation tipping point for a barrier island is said to exist when an adaptation …

A breach in a flood defence will affect the downstream water levels in a riverine system, and
therefore the flood risk of the system. The effect of this changed flood risk is used in an …

Flood defences of particularly riverine deltaic areas are mainly composed of soil
embankments artificially made. As any kind of structure, the materials, geometry and …

This paper uses a case history to show how assistance was provided in performing a
probabilistic risk breach prioritization of a 50 kilometres long flood-protection dyke of a fluvial …
