Here you will find the video’s used during the lectures.
WaveCore
Wave Core: Scale model on stability tests of secondary armour under a single layer of Tetrapods. The core of the breakwater is scaled correcly (resulting in a larger model core D50 than the model filter D50). In this video the penetration of the waves into the core can be observed clearly.
Video by Wesley de Jong, 2003, made in Fluid Mechanics Lab (graduation work).
Sturmflut
Sturmflut: Wave overtopping and failure of a German sea dike 22/12/1954.
Armour
Armour: video presentation of the use of high-density concrete for armour units.
Roof of the Elbe-tunnel
Short explanation of the protection of the roof of the Elbe-tunnel in Hamburg, Germany (38 seconds).
Fitting Rock
Fitting rock into a breakwater (17 seconds)
Fitting stones into a breakwater
Overview of fitting stones into a breakwater, using an orange peel grab (34 seconds).
Monitoring
Cranes use a positioning monitor to keep track of the exact position of a single stone (34 seconds).
Rock placing
video and animation of rock placing (61 seconds).
Rock loading and dumping
Loading and dumping rock from a Side Stone Dumper ( 69 seconds).
