A new design was needed which ensured continuous protection against flooding in the future. Large scale and small scale tests are performed to optimize the design. Clear differences in the average wave overtopping discharge are observed between large and small scale. The new design of the Afsluitdijk has a complex geometry and consists of new types of elements of which not much information about the roughness of these elements is available. Also, the combined effect of roughness elements and berm has not been fully investigated yet. This asks for a more accurate method to predict the average wave overtopping discharge for composite slope. Various adjustments to current theories are proposed for this type of structure. “ Subject OvertoppingRun-upAfsluitdijkRoughness influenceCapelVan der MeerRib profileComposite slopes To reference this document use: http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:e47f4f8f-765d-41a7-9cca-818191bce120 Embargo date 2021-12-12 Part of collection Student theses Document type master thesis Rights © 2019 Luuk Jordans Files PDF New_report_MSc_thesis_onl ... versie.pdf 42.57 MB Close viewer /islandora/object/uuid:e47f4f8f-765d-41a7-9cca-818191bce120/datastream/OBJ/view
