Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
In 2005, the Sigma plan was brought up to date and improved, adding as an additional goal to create tidal marshes in new flood areas, since these habitats had become rare in the Scheldt basin. The zone called “Polders of Kruibeke” is the largest flood area, having a surface of 692 ha and an overflow dike that is 6.6 km in length. Thanks to an inlet structure and the partial filling of the flood area twice a day on the rhythm of the tides, these polders create a huge environmental added value to the ecosystem of the Scheldt. The overflow dikes that have been realised within the scope of the Sigma plan these last decades, all have a weak slope on the land side that is covered with open stone asphalt and a layer of loamy sand permitting to develop a herbal vegetation that resists to overflow rather well. The overflow dikes of the Polders of Kruibeke and of other controlled flood areas have together endured hundreds of overflows, permitting to report on the functioning of those engineering structures in terms of hydraulic load and on the behaviour of the dikes and their facilities protecting against erosion. This article presents the concept and the construction of the resistant overflow dikes that have been constructed in the scope of the Sigma plan, and the experiences on the behaviour of these dikes during storm tides. It also proposes some application opportunities in France. In particular the way how the resistance to overflow can contribute to conceiving flood protection systems from the socio-economical and technical point of view will be discussed. |
