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

Within the framework of the INTERREG project Polder2C’s, steady overflow tests are carried out to test the strength of levees and the levee cover layer under the load of continuously overflowing discharge of water. The presentation presents insights from the velocity measurements executed during the steady overflow tests and insights concerning the erosion resistance of the grass cover layer. Water level and flow velocity were measured along the levee slope by means of different measuring techniques. Measuring in outdoor conditions proved to be challenging. For the executed overflow tests, the measured or calculated flow velocity at 4 m from the levee crest is compared with relations between flow duration, limiting flow velocity and grass cover quality from literature. The common – and probably decisive – factor for failure was the presence of burrows, as well as for the tests with short duration to failure as for the tests with a duration of 10 to 20 hours to failure. Tests that did not led to failure show that most of the levees, when in a well maintained condition, can withstand an overflow event even during a period of 30 hours.
