Open WL Archief (OWA)

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

There is a continuous inflow of sediments in ports and access channels and therefore maintenance dredging is necessary. To determine when and how much there needs to be dredged the underwater sediment and mud layers must be monitored and analyzed. This paper presents an innovative vertical profiling techniquemeasuring in a single free fall trajectory the depth, thickness, density and strength of underwater sediment layer. The instrument operates in free fall and impacts underwater sediment layers. During impact it measures penetration resistance and pressures.The technique can be used in several aspects of the dredging process. In combination with acoustic methods like multibeam echo sounders it is used to visualize the sediment layers under a multibeam surface. Another important aspect of soft sediment is the navigability. Ships can navigate through loose mud layers if the physical characteristics of the mud stay below a critical limit. Today the measured physical characteristic in many ports is density. Density was historically chosen as a substitute for strength. The proposed measurement technique allows visualization of a density and a strength profile and enables ports to evaluate alternative nautical depth criteria.
