Education Method Lectures, practicals, Maple TA homework, self-study, question hours
Assessment 1) Digital Maple TA homework assessments available during Q3. They are not compulsory, but highly recommended. You can
improve your final grade based on the percentage score for the tests (see below).
2) Digital exam (Maple TA) at the end of Q3 and resit at the end of Q4.
The final grade (F) is based on the grade for the exam (E) and your results for the homework Maple tests as follows:
F = s * M + (1-s) * E
with M = 10 and s dependent on the overall percentage score for the homework Maple TA tests (TA):
s = 0.2 if TA >= 70%
s = 0.1 if 50% <= TA < 70%
s = 0 if TA < 50%
If you did not participate in the Maple Tests TA = 0%.

Note that your score for the Maple TA tests is only taken into account for the exam and retake directly after the Maple TA tests.
More information about the digital assessments (Maple TA) during Q3:
* There are 9 assessments organized per Chapter or group of Chapters of the lectures notes.
* Each assessment is divided into two stages: a formative stage A (assessment for learning) and a summative stage B
(assessment of learning).
* The stage A tests do not count towards the final course mark and are accessible until the retake exam at the end of Q4. A
minimum score of about 80% gives you access to stage B.
* The questions of stage B assess what you have learned. The stage B tests can only be taken once, must be taken before a
specified deadline in Q3 and have a time limit.

Course Contents This course addresses the observation, analysis and prediction of wind-generated waves in the open ocean and coastal waters.
The lectures start with the observation techniques, before continuing with the question of how to describe these seemingly
random motions of the sea, which we call waves. Two techniques are introduced: a statistical description and a spectral
technique. This, in its turn, is followed by the linear theory of surface gravity waves. This theory gives the interrelation between
physical characteristics as the surface motion, the wave-induced pressure in the water and the motion of water particles. Initially,
the lectures treat only open-water aspects of the linear theory, in other words, deep-water conditions without currents or a coast.
This provides, together with the spectral description of the waves, the introduction to the energy balance of waves in oceanic
waters. Sources and sinks are added to this balance, to represent the generation (by wind), the interactions amongst the waves
themselves (wave-wave interactions) and the dissipation of the waves (by white-capping). The second part of the course focuses
on wave transformation in coastal waters, and therefore on the effects of sea bottom topography and currents (shoaling,
refraction, diffraction, reflection, surf breaking).
Study Goals At the end of this course, you should be able to:
Describe the different observation techniques of wind-generated waves and their limitations;
Explain the rationale behind the definition and computation of the wave spectrum and calculate spectral wave characteristics;
Characterize wind-generated waves in a statistical framework;
Explain the physical processes driving wave transformation in oceanic and coastal waters and evaluate which processes
dominate in a given situation;
Calculate the evolution of wind-generated waves in oceanic and coastal waters;
Education Method Lectures and homework assignments. Completion of the homework assignments is strongly recommended but not compulsory.
These assignments are of two types:
- "traditional" assignments that consist of short problems assessed online using MapleTA (online assessment system),
- computer assignments involving programming using Matlab or Python (two versions of the assignments will be available).
Some support for the computer assignments will be provided during two computer labs (see details in course guide on

Summary The course enables students to produce a conceptual design of common hydraulic engineering structures, with help of good
quality sketches and hand calculations, taking the constructability of these structures into account.
Course Contents The focus of this course is on hydraulic structures, e.g.: bridge piers, quays & jetties, construction pits, storm surge barriers,
dams, locks/sluices, immersed and bored tunnels, etc. The students are taught to make a conceptual engineering design according
to the systems engineering method. The design objective leads to a functional-spatial design, which is followed by a structural
design where next to stability and strength chekcs, constructability plays a major role. The student learns to motivate
assumptions, methods and values of design parameters, using basic sketches.
Study Goals 1. produce a conceptual design of the common hydraulic engineering structures;
2. describe, in sufficient detail, a feasible construction method for the structure being designed;
3. prepare the necessary sketches or drawings, 2D or 3D, for a conceptual design;
4. do the required hand calculations for conceptual design and indicate for which items more sophisticated computational means
have to be used.
Education Method Lectures:
During the lectures, hydraulic structures and the construction methods available for these structures are explained. The lectures
are closely related to the exercises.
Construction Methods Exercise (CME).

For the Construction Methods Exercise, about 40 to 50 construction activities have to be put in the right, depending on the type
of structure and information on local conditions that will be provided. Work on the Construction Methods Exercise has to start in
the first week of the lecture period. The exercise has to be finished and submitted in the beginning of the 2nd teaching week of
Q3. Although not for a grade, the exercise will be checked. In case of fundamental errors in the proposed construction method,
some extra work needs to be done on the CME in the 2nd or 3rd teaching week of Q3. Work on the CME needs to be completed
before being allowed to do the DEHS and the written exam.
Design Exercise Hydraulic Structures (DEHS).

The Design Exercise Hydraulic Structures (DEHS) aims at making a conceptual design of a hydraulic structure, including
preparation of sketches and/or drawings of typical cross sections of a hydraulic structure, several hand calculations regarding key
design issues (e.g. stability, strength and stiffness, type of foundation) and a description of the construction method for the
structure. The student should motivate assumptions and the choice of methods needed to determine the main dimensions and
functionality. The exercise is divided into six phases, starting in week 2 and ending at the start of week 8 of Q3. After every
phase, the work of the student will be checked for a grade, that will be part of the final course grade. The student will receive
feed-back on his work after every phase, to be able to learn from it for the written exam.
Written Exam:
The written aims at testing whether the student understands the main design principles as taught during the lectures and as
practised during the construction method exercise and the design exercise. The grade of the written exam is part of the final
course grade.
The only opportunity to do the Construction Method Exercise (CME) and the Design Exercise (DEHS) is in the third quarter of
the academic year!

Course Contents The course deals with some backgrounds of two- and three-dimensional (non-)hydrostatic flow modelling. The course consists of
a lecture once a week plus a practical session once a week. During the first practical session the open source flow models
Delft3D-FLOW and SWASH will be introduced in a tutorial manner. One of these computer models (or another computer model
if the student wants so) will be used in the following practicals. Matlab is employed for post-processing of the model results. The
content of the subsequent lectures and practicals are:
1) two-dimensional shallow water equations and related physics (e.g. barotropic flow, bottom friction, and horizontal mixing)
2) staggered and colocated schemes for 2DH shallow water equations
3) time-marching methods to solve unsteady problems (ADI and theta-method)
4) the advection scheme; momentum and energy head conservations
5) three-dimensional shallow water equations and related physics (e.g. turbulent flow, vertical mixing, and baroclinic flow)
6) barotropic and baroclinic flow modelling, transport equations and turbulence modelling
7) numerical aspects of three-dimensional modelling (sigma layers versus z-layers, anti-creep, Forester filter, flux limiting)
8) non-hydrostatic wave-flow modelling (lock exchange, short waves)
Study Goals Learning some basics of applying a computer model with respect to hydrodynamics and hydraulics. Of crucial importance is the
knowledge concerning the abilities and limitations of the computer model. At the end of this course you will be able to:
1) understand what a numerical model is actually doing;

2) appreciate its promises and limitations;
3) prevent you to think the numerical model as a black box.

Course Contents The course focuses on 3 main dredging processes:
The cutting of sand, clay and rock;
These are explained in detail.
Exercises allow participants to apply the knowledge gained in practical situations.
In dredging, trenching, (deep sea) mining, drilling, tunnel boring and many other applications, sand, clay or rock has to be
excavated. The productions (and thus the dimensions) of the excavating equipment range from mm3/sec - cm3/sec to m3/sec. In
oil drilling layers with a thickness of a magnitude of 0.2 mm are cut, while in dredging this can be of a magnitude of 0.1 m with
cutter suction dredges and meters for clamshells and backhoes. Some equipment is designed for dry soil, while others operate
under water saturated conditions. Installed cutting powers may range up to 10 MW. For both the design, the operation and
production estimation of the excavating equipment it is important to be able to predict the cutting forces and powers.
The book gives an overview of cutting theories. It starts with a generic model, which is valid for all types of soil (sand, clay and
rock) after which the specifics of dry sand, water saturated sand, clay, rock and hyperbaric rock are covered. For each soil type
small blade angles and large blade angles, resulting in a wedge in front of the blade, are discussed. The failure mechanism of
sand, dry and water saturated, is the so called Shear Type. The failure mechanism of clay is the so called Flow Type, but under
certain circumstances also the Curling Type and the Tear Type are possible. Rock will usually fail in a brittle way. This can be
brittle tensile failure, the Tear Type, for small blade angles, but it can also be brittle shear failure, which is of the Shear Type of
failure mechanism for larger blade angles. Under hyperbaric conditions rock may also fail in a more ductile way according to the
Flow Type of failure mechanism.
For each case considered, the equations/model for the cutting forces, power and specific energy are given. The models are
verified with laboratory research, mainly at the Delft University of Technology, but also with data from literature.
Study Goals Understand and reproduce the Mohr circle;
Understand and reproduce the theory of passive and active soil failure;
Understanding the soil mechanical parameters important for cutting processes;
Understanding and make calculations regarding the 2-D cutting theory in water-saturated sand;
Understanding and make calculations regarding the 2-D theory in clay;
Understanding and reproduce the basic cutting theory of rock cutting;
Understanding and reproduce the hyperbaric cutting theory of rock cutting.

Summary Understanding the nature and implication of selected structural design aspects such as shape, dimensions, material and design
approaches on the one hand and the construction considerations such as execution methods, schedules and costs on the other
hand and their interdependency in an integrated building process of a concrete structure. This involves thorough knowledge and
understanding of project characteristics, control systems, methodology of the process and supporting systems in order to
optimise cost driver aspects in conceptual and final design.
Course Contents - 4-6 Lectures on design process, theory and methods, Systems Engineering and technical subjects (e.g. concrete structures,
hydraulic structures, construction and maintenance aspects)
- 8-10 Working Sessions in which students work on a Case Study, supervised by instructors (senior designers from practice). The
case study is performed as group work. The case can be selected from either Construction or Heavy Civil Engineering.
- Presentation, as a team, of the group work.
Study Goals Upon succesful completion of this subject, the student should be able to:
1. To identify the basic elements such as project characteristics, control systems, methodology and supporting systems in an
integrated design process for concrete structures;
2. To identify characteristics dictating the way a concrete building project is being managed in practice and emphasis on the
methodology to be adopted when worked out;
3. To apply the basic concepts of Systems Engineering in a civil engineering project;
4. To optimise the process of design and construction in terms of costs, time and maintenance in selecting a construction process,
a construction schedule and investment in temporary works;
5. To demonstrate actions which can be taken to control the design process and to assure the quality of the engineering process
and the construction process;
6. To generate different design concepts and to select one of them in view of costs, execution time and durability;
7. To implement all these aspects in a case study.

Course Contents Hydraulic structures 2 - CIE5313 (HS2), is a course on design of hydraulic structures, therefore the natural follow-up of the
preceding course hydraulic structures 1 -CTB3355/CIE3330 (HS1). However, HS2 further deepens theories in the field of
probabilistic engineerings, structural dynamics and earthquake response, besides integrating preceding courses on soil
mechanics, hydraulics, concrete and steel structures.
Structures dealt with in more detail:

- Flood defense structures in coastal areas and inland waterways:
Storm surge, flood wave and/or tsunami wave barriers
- Structures for the controlled discharge of water: Weirs
- Structures for cargo transfer in ports: Quays and Jetties
Although hand calculations remain important, the first steps for more advanced numerical modelling will be discussed, e.g. for
the analysis of gate vibration and earthquake design.
Specific subjects:
- Life Cycle Asset Management
- Gate excitation & vibration
- Hydraulic aspects; bed and bank (scour) protection
- Earthquake design
Special projects:
- Not planned this academic year.
The items under 'Special projects' and 'Specific subjects' may change from year to year.
Study Goals After this course students are able to:
1. Translate overall objectives and requirements of infrastructural projects, in the flood defense and port infrastructure field, into
sound design criteria for conceptual design of the hydraulic structure using e.g. functional and operational analyses.
2. Develop preliminary conceptual designs, based on hand-calculations, into final conceptual designs using more advanced, up-to
-date (computational) analysis techniques, with due consideration of:
a. environmental impact, or the cost of mitigating measures,

b. material economy,
c. construction methods and resulting costs,
d. planning and cost issues
3. Integrate/use/apply:
a. safety, risk & reliability methods and probabilistic
design techniques
b. Life Cycle Management techniques
c. selection and verification strategies for analytical,
numerical, and/or physical models
d. 3D structural software models with non-linear features
into the design of hydraulic structures.

Education Method Lectures, tutorials and a design exercise by teams of two students.
Lectures:
During lectures, barriers & weirs, and quay walls & jetties will be described. Theories needed for design will either be
introduced or further elaborated.
Tutorials:
During tutorials there will be some lecturing, however, the main objective will be to let students work in class, using theories or
techniques previously explained, while the lecturer is available for answering questions. Preferably students will use the tutorial
work immediately for the exercise.
!! Bring your laptop for all the scheduled tutorials, preferably for all lectures!!
Exercise:
To stimulate the active use of the lectured theory, an exercise has to be completed, usually in pairs of two students. Team
formation and subject selection for the exercise will start in the 1st teaching week of the 4th education period.
Progress and results of the exercise will be checked roughly according the following schedule:
1st check progress on workplan: end of 2nd week
/ beginning of the 3rd teaching week
2nd check progress & result: end of 4th week
/ beginning of the 5th teaching week
3rd check draft final result: end of 6th week
/ beginning of the 7th teaching week.
The 3 checks on progress of the Exercise have to be made and registered in order to be allowed to enter the oral exam.
See Brightspace for the exact days/date & time for the progress checks and submitting results of the exercise.
Assessment During the oral examination students have to defend the design they prepared in the exercise and answer more general questions
on design principles and characteristics of hydraulic structures, specifically barriers & weirs and quay walls & jetties.
Usually the defense of the exercise will be the bigger part of the exam; in smaller separate sessions the students will be
questioned on theory from the lecture notes and hand-outs of the lectures.

the three is a better model for the bivariate data.
d.A problem subject to uncertainty analysis using the classical model for structured expert judgment and create the appropriate
design for the uncertainty analysis.
2)Students will be able to analyse and evaluate:
a.Flooding probabilities of a simple dike-ring.
b.Optimization of dike-ring maintenance using flooding probabilities, cost-benefit analysis and life cycle costing.
3)Students will be able to describe:
a.The concept of multivariate copula and multivariate probability distributions and their use in engineering

lake, ). In the first 2 hours, cases are presented, and students get opportunity to start working on their preparation; in the second 2
hours, the student groups present their results plenary will be discussed plenary as well.
Study Goals The study objectives and basic knowledge from RE and CD1 than defines the detailed educational goals of the course on
Sediment Dynamics, with focus on coastal areas (e.g. coasts, estuaries and tidal inlets):
1.The student learns that most tidal inlets and estuary, and many coasts as well, contain a mixture of sediments, though
sometimes the sediments are purely cohesive. He also becomes aware that the behavior of these fine sediments are often
affected, or sometimes even dominated, by the effects of biology (flora and fauna).
2.The student learns to distinguish between cohesive and non-cohesive sediments on the basis of measured data, and to quantify
the behavior of these sediments and their mixtures.
3.The student becomes aware of the role of fine sediments with respect to water quality issues and the ecosystem at a qualitative
level in other words he learns about the societal relevance of knowledge on fine sediments.
4.The student learns to analyze and quantify the transport of fine sediments in coastal areas, where often the vertical structure of
the suspended sediment concentration over the water column is an important issue. Special attention is paid to siltation in harbor
basins and navigational channels.
Page 67 of 123
5.Through case studies, the student learns to analyze the impact of hydraulic engineering works on the ecosystem. Examples are
enhanced turbidities induced by large-scale dredging, ongoing deepening of fairways and eroding mangrove-mud coasts.
We will prepare basic lecture notes, and provide relevant literature as well.
Education Method Sediment Dynamics is a fifth-year course and will cover 3 ECs (84 hours), of which 32 hours are contact hours (oral presentation
by teacher) and 20 hours are dedicated to the elaboration of a case study that case study may be elaborated in small groups of
students (see below).
Focus of Sediment Dynamics is on fine sediments and their mixtures, the vertical structures of these fines sediments in the water
column, and their practical relevance. The student will
acquire in-depth knowledge on fine sediments,
get acquainted with the practical relevance of the discipline,
get some experience by working on a case study.
These educational goals are to be achieved by oral presentations of the teacher, elaboration of a case study, and self-study (home
work).
Assessment Examination will be oral. The students are asked to select a specific topic in adavance to start with.

Course Contents The course deals with embankments for earthworks, with special focus on dikes and road and railway construction on soft soils.
Settlement and stability are important items in embankment design. Furthermore, due to soft soil behaviour, the construction of
an embankment will have consequences for its surroundings. A special category of embankments is formed by water retaining
structures, such as dikes and levees. These types of embankments were constructed in the past, some even in the Middle Ages.
To prove that they still meet the design requirements, stability assessment of these old dikes and levees is required. In the design
of new ones, innovative solutions can be adopted, to cope with the serviceability and limit states requirements.
Main items of the course are:
Strength of soil and stability analysis

Pre-failure behaviour and analysis of settlements
Construction techniques
Attention will be given to technical solutions including preloading, drainage and vacuum, geosynthetics, light weight and piled
embankments, which can be used to reduce the footprint of soil structures.
Study Goals At the end of the course the students will:
- be familiar with relevant aspects of the engineering behaviour of embankments
- be able to describe the subsoil and relevant soil characteristics
- understand and apply design and assessment rules
- be able to pre-assess viable solutions for the design and construction of new embankments

Summary Conventional geotechnical analysis follows a deterministic approach. This involves sub-dividing the problem domain into
distinct material zones (or layers), and then assigning constant values to the material properties within in each zone. This leads to
a single analysis and, in the case of stability assessments for example, to a single factor of safety.
This course takes account of the fact that, even in so-called uniform soil deposits or layers, there exists spatial variability of
material properties (often referred to as heterogeneity). This spatial variability influences material behaviour, groundwater
behaviour and the performance of geotechnical structures. It also means that we are never really sure what we have in the ground
and so this leads to uncertainty in design.
The course considers the measurement, characterisation and numerical modelling of spatial variability, as well as methods for
quantifying the effects of spatial variability and uncertainty on geotechnical performance. This involves stochastic analysis and
leads to probabilistic definitions of response: in particular, reliability, which is the probability of failure not occurring. By linking
probability of failure with consequence of failure, risk assessments may also be made.
Course Contents Introduction to risk and variability.
Statistical characterisation of in situ data: cone penetration testing; frequency diagrams; probability density functions; point
statistics; properties of the normal distribution; sources of error in evaluating site data; depth-dependency; stages in data
interpretation; importance of spatial statistics; scale of fluctuation and its measurement; practical applications.
Modelling of spatial variability: local averaging theory; random fields; local average subdivision; univariate, multi-variate and
reduced variate random fields; application to liquefaction potential.
Outline of the stochastic process: pre-analysis stage; analysis stage; mapping of random fields; Monte Carlo analysis; numerical
modelling; post-analysis stage; reliability and probability of failure; performance probability density functions and performance
cumulative distribution functions.
Influence of spatial variability on geo-structural performance: importance of scale of fluctuation; problem-dependency;
comparing deterministic and stochastic approaches; range of solutions; sensitivity of solutions to input parameters; comparing
2D and 3D analyses; assessment of risk.
Implications for geotechnical design: Eurocode 7; characteristic values; partial factors.
Study Goals After the course the student will be familiar with methodology for the measurement, characterisation and numerical modelling of
spatial variability, as well as methods for quantifying the effects of spatial variability and uncertainty on geotechnical
performance. The student will also be aware of the importance in considering spatial variability in geotechnical design and risk
assessments.

Course Contents This course discusses Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing in water resources. The course is designed to
allow students to gain hands-on experience by applying GIS (QGIS and GRASS) and remote sensing data for different
applications in water resources.
In addition to the common GIS tasks of visualizing and analyzing data, we will use GIS tools to delineate watersheds, and to
perform land classification and surface water identification and data analysis.
The remote sensing component is focused around measurements in the visible, thermal and microwave regions of the spectrum.
We will introduce the physics behind the measurements, and illustrate how observations in each region yield invaluable data for
water resources. Remote sensing data will be used to analyze elevation and land cover distribution, as well as precipitation, soil
moisture and evaporation patterns in a basin.
In exercises and lectures, different tools and applications are offered. For each application, assignments are given to allow
students to acquire relevant skills. The course structure combines assignments and introductory lectures. Each week participants
work on one assignment. These assignments are discussed in the next lecture and graded. Each week a new assignment is
introduced, together with supporting materials (an article discussing the relevant application) and lectures (introducing
theoretical issues). The study material of the course consists of a study guide, assignments, lecture material and articles. The final
mark is the average of the grades of the individual assignments.
Study Goals After this course a student can:
1) Explain what a GIS is, and to describe its key features
2) Use GIS to visualize and analyze data
3) Use GIS tools to work on real WRM problems
4) Understand important terminology in remote sensing
5) Explain the advantages and disadvantages of measurements in different parts of the EM spectrum
6) Use real remote sensing data to study problems in WRM

lake, ). In the first 2 hours, cases are presented, and students get opportunity to start working on their preparation; in the second 2
hours, the student groups present their results plenary will be discussed plenary as well.
Study Goals The study objectives and basic knowledge from RE and CD1 than defines the detailed educational goals of the course on
Sediment Dynamics, with focus on coastal areas (e.g. coasts, estuaries and tidal inlets):
1.The student learns that most tidal inlets and estuary, and many coasts as well, contain a mixture of sediments, though
sometimes the sediments are purely cohesive. He also becomes aware that the behavior of these fine sediments are often
affected, or sometimes even dominated, by the effects of biology (flora and fauna).
2.The student learns to distinguish between cohesive and non-cohesive sediments on the basis of measured data, and to quantify
the behavior of these sediments and their mixtures.
3.The student becomes aware of the role of fine sediments with respect to water quality issues and the ecosystem at a qualitative
level in other words he learns about the societal relevance of knowledge on fine sediments.
4.The student learns to analyze and quantify the transport of fine sediments in coastal areas, where often the vertical structure of
the suspended sediment concentration over the water column is an important issue. Special attention is paid to siltation in harbor
basins and navigational channels.
Page 88 of 123
5.Through case studies, the student learns to analyze the impact of hydraulic engineering works on the ecosystem. Examples are
enhanced turbidities induced by large-scale dredging, ongoing deepening of fairways and eroding mangrove-mud coasts.
We will prepare basic lecture notes, and provide relevant literature as well.
Education Method Sediment Dynamics is a fifth-year course and will cover 3 ECs (84 hours), of which 32 hours are contact hours (oral presentation
by teacher) and 20 hours are dedicated to the elaboration of a case study that case study may be elaborated in small groups of
students (see below).
Focus of Sediment Dynamics is on fine sediments and their mixtures, the vertical structures of these fines sediments in the water
column, and their practical relevance. The student will
acquire in-depth knowledge on fine sediments,
get acquainted with the practical relevance of the discipline,
get some experience by working on a case study.
These educational goals are to be achieved by oral presentations of the teacher, elaboration of a case study, and self-study (home
work).
Assessment Examination will be oral. The students are asked to select a specific topic in adavance to start with.

Course Contents The course deals with embankments for earthworks, with special focus on dikes and road and railway construction on soft soils.
Settlement and stability are important items in embankment design. Furthermore, due to soft soil behaviour, the construction of
an embankment will have consequences for its surroundings. A special category of embankments is formed by water retaining
structures, such as dikes and levees. These types of embankments were constructed in the past, some even in the Middle Ages.
To prove that they still meet the design requirements, stability assessment of these old dikes and levees is required. In the design
of new ones, innovative solutions can be adopted, to cope with the serviceability and limit states requirements.
Main items of the course are:
Strength of soil and stability analysis

Pre-failure behaviour and analysis of settlements
Construction techniques
Attention will be given to technical solutions including preloading, drainage and vacuum, geosynthetics, light weight and piled
embankments, which can be used to reduce the footprint of soil structures.
Study Goals At the end of the course the students will:
- be familiar with relevant aspects of the engineering behaviour of embankments
- be able to describe the subsoil and relevant soil characteristics
- understand and apply design and assessment rules
- be able to pre-assess viable solutions for the design and construction of new embankments

Summary Conventional geotechnical analysis follows a deterministic approach. This involves sub-dividing the problem domain into
distinct material zones (or layers), and then assigning constant values to the material properties within in each zone. This leads to
a single analysis and, in the case of stability assessments for example, to a single factor of safety.
This course takes account of the fact that, even in so-called uniform soil deposits or layers, there exists spatial variability of
material properties (often referred to as heterogeneity). This spatial variability influences material behaviour, groundwater
behaviour and the performance of geotechnical structures. It also means that we are never really sure what we have in the ground
and so this leads to uncertainty in design.
The course considers the measurement, characterisation and numerical modelling of spatial variability, as well as methods for
quantifying the effects of spatial variability and uncertainty on geotechnical performance. This involves stochastic analysis and
leads to probabilistic definitions of response: in particular, reliability, which is the probability of failure not occurring. By linking
probability of failure with consequence of failure, risk assessments may also be made.
Course Contents Introduction to risk and variability.
Statistical characterisation of in situ data: cone penetration testing; frequency diagrams; probability density functions; point
statistics; properties of the normal distribution; sources of error in evaluating site data; depth-dependency; stages in data
interpretation; importance of spatial statistics; scale of fluctuation and its measurement; practical applications.
Modelling of spatial variability: local averaging theory; random fields; local average subdivision; univariate, multi-variate and
reduced variate random fields; application to liquefaction potential.
Outline of the stochastic process: pre-analysis stage; analysis stage; mapping of random fields; Monte Carlo analysis; numerical
modelling; post-analysis stage; reliability and probability of failure; performance probability density functions and performance
cumulative distribution functions.
Influence of spatial variability on geo-structural performance: importance of scale of fluctuation; problem-dependency;
comparing deterministic and stochastic approaches; range of solutions; sensitivity of solutions to input parameters; comparing
2D and 3D analyses; assessment of risk.
Implications for geotechnical design: Eurocode 7; characteristic values; partial factors.
Study Goals After the course the student will be familiar with methodology for the measurement, characterisation and numerical modelling of
spatial variability, as well as methods for quantifying the effects of spatial variability and uncertainty on geotechnical
performance. The student will also be aware of the importance in considering spatial variability in geotechnical design and risk
assessments.

Course Contents Environmental Systems Modeling (CIE4400) deals with mathematical modeling of dissolved substances processes in surface
waters: rivers, lakes, and estuaries, and of its implications for sustainable development. The modelling of water quality processes
relies heavily on physically-based hydrodynamic processes (advection, dispersion, diffusion) while modeling of sustainable
development relies on socio-hydrological processes. Therefore mathematical models are applied, with special attention to
analytical solutions and semi-empirical approaches. The course takes a macroscopic view of two-way feedbacks between
environmental quality, sustainability and global development. The course is composed of the following topics:
1. Coupled environmental quality and economic growth: Understanding, working with and building of macro-scale models (at
societal level) of two-way feedbacks between environmental quality, sustainability and global development
2. Processes: Advection, diffusion, dispersion and water quality; understanding of the principles. Lectures and self study.
3. Lakes and rivers: Understanding how to make a mass balance of dissolved substances in surface water bodies such as lakes
and rivers. Small exercises.
4. Assignments and practical project based group work

Study Goals To be able to:
Goal1: formulate mass balance for materials such as salt and oxygen
Goal2: discuss the influence of advection, dispersion and reactions on the transport of substances and system design
Goal3: formulate principles of economic growth, green investment and sustainability
Goal4: discuss implications of water quality on sustainable development
Goal5: develop simple coupled water quality and economic growth models for real world case studies

Expected prior knowledge Coastal Dynamics 1 (CIE4305) for the Bulgarian and Dutch fieldworks; Breakwaters & Closure Dams (CIE5308) for the
Bulgarian fieldwork.
Course Contents There are two alternatives for the execution of the fieldwork, of which both can be organized in a year (this will be announced on
BrightSpace).
Option 1:
The coastal structures oriented fieldwork is usually organized in Bulgaria. At the coast some profile measurements will be made,
sand samples will be taken and the instantaneous wave condition will be observed. At some rock structures pressure fluctuations
will be observed due to wave impact. A quarry will be visited where the students have to asses several parameters of rock, like
the Dn50, density, blockiness, etc. The Fieldwork in Bulgaria will be done together with Bulgarian students from the University
of Varna. A landscape-architectural component is part of the field work, including cooperation with architecture students, in
order to experience the benefits and challenges of working in an interdisciplinary team.
Option 2:
The morphologically oriented fieldwork will be done along the Dutch coast. Measurements will be done on the beach, like
profile measurements, sand sampling, sediment transport measurements, etc. The collected data will have to be checked to the
deep water boundary conditions (waves and currents) which are available via the routine measuring devices.
The course is given as a block course. The duration of the fieldwork itself is a full-time week and usually takes place in the
beginning of October.
Study Goals After finalisation of the fieldwork, the student is able to plan and execute a measuring plan needed to solve problems in the field
of hydraulic engineering. The student is able to decide what types of data have to be collected, according to what method, with a
useful number of samples (as regards sampling grid and frequency) and a sufficient degree of accuracy. He/she is able to process
raw data and put them down into a measurement record. The student is able to analyse these data and to draw conclusions that
are relevant to hydraulic engineering. Uncertainties like weather changes, unexpected circumstances, unknown environment and
lacking local background are dealt with. The student is able to organize and operate in a group performing a measurement
campaign.
Education Method Fieldwork - some preparation, followed by one week full-time fieldwork, afterwards post-processing and analysing the data,
writing the final report. For the exact date of the week: see Brightspace.

Course Contents This course discusses Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing in water resources. The course is designed to
allow students to gain hands-on experience by applying GIS (QGIS and GRASS) and remote sensing data for different
applications in water resources.
In addition to the common GIS tasks of visualizing and analyzing data, we will use GIS tools to delineate watersheds, and to
perform land classification and surface water identification and data analysis.
The remote sensing component is focused around measurements in the visible, thermal and microwave regions of the spectrum.
We will introduce the physics behind the measurements, and illustrate how observations in each region yield invaluable data for
water resources. Remote sensing data will be used to analyze elevation and land cover distribution, as well as precipitation, soil
moisture and evaporation patterns in a basin.
In exercises and lectures, different tools and applications are offered. For each application, assignments are given to allow
students to acquire relevant skills. The course structure combines assignments and introductory lectures. Each week participants
work on one assignment. These assignments are discussed in the next lecture and graded. Each week a new assignment is
introduced, together with supporting materials (an article discussing the relevant application) and lectures (introducing
theoretical issues). The study material of the course consists of a study guide, assignments, lecture material and articles. The final
mark is the average of the grades of the individual assignments.
Study Goals After this course a student can:
1) Explain what a GIS is, and to describe its key features
2) Use GIS to visualize and analyze data
3) Use GIS tools to work on real WRM problems
4) Understand important terminology in remote sensing
5) Explain the advantages and disadvantages of measurements in different parts of the EM spectrum
6) Use real remote sensing data to study problems in WRM

Expected prior knowledge Basic knowledge on hydrology
Course Contents Purpose:
Water is the basis for life and ultimately the reason why ecosystems but also our society could develop the way they did. The
availability and distribution of water supports the Earths ecosystem as well as our demands for drinking water, food, energy,
industrial production, transport and recreation. However, due to its unpredictable nature, water is also recognized as the most
important environmental hazard world-wide; floods, droughts and water-borne pollution cause thousands of casualties,
significant disruption and damages worth billions of euro every year. Population pressure and climate change do not only dictate
a more sustainable use of the limited resource water but also require improved protection of individuals as well as increased
resilience of society as a whole against water-driven hazards.
Water is therefore a key element of almost all United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Hydrology describes the water
storage in, movement through and release from terrestrial systems. As a result, knowledge on how the water system behaves is
essential for understanding how societies interact with their natural resources. In this course, we provide the tools to help us
analyse and understand these interactions as a foundation for interventions aimed at making society safe, healthy, productive and
fair, in a way that the natural resources remain accessible and usable for future generations.
More specifically this course will address water resources issues related to:
- Floods
- Droughts
- Water for society, food and the environment

Different, to be announced
Expected prior knowledge CIE4140 Structural Dynamics or an equivalent course.
Course Contents The course focusses on identification problems in structural dynamics, i.e. on the reconstruction of uncertain or unknown
structural properties from measured vibration response data. These properties can be the natural frequencies or mode shapes of a
structure, the stiffnesses of its supports, the loading applied to the structure, etc. Such identification problems are encountered in
all engineering applications where measured data (be it accelerations, strains, or displacements, etc.) are used to reduce
uncertainty on the dynamic behaviour of in situ structures under real operating conditions.
To ensure generality, the presented identification and monitoring techniques are applied to structures modelled using a mass and
stiffness matrix (extractable from any finite element software).
The course can be divided into the following parts:

1.System identification, structural health monitoring, and model updating (2 lectures, 2 practical sessions)
Different techniques for extracting modal parameters from vibration response data are presented, and it is shown how the
extracted parameters can be used
a) in vibration-based structural health monitoring applications, and
b) for updating (improving) our numerical models.
2.Load identification (1 lecture, 1 practical session)
First, a number of numerical aspects essential to the understanding and effective solution of linear inverse problems is addressed,
with the focus on the load identification problem as encountered in structural dynamics. A simple frequency-domain technique
for estimating the dynamic loads on a structure based on its measured vibration response is subsequently presented.
3.State estimation the Kalman filter (1 lecture, 1 practical session)
Deterministic-stochastic models of structures are introduced, and it is shown how classical optimal state estimation techniques
(e.g. the Kalman filter) can be used for continuous monitoring of structural deformations based on limited response data.
The remaining lecture hours and practical sessions are spent on introducing the students to Matlab, recapitulating deterministic
models of structural systems as these were presented in the course CIE4140 Structural Dynamics (but with the focus on
discretized as opposed to analytical representations), and reduced-order modelling. The latter topic is included because of its
importance when dealing with in situ measured data from large-scale complex structures.
Study Goals Students succesfully completing the course will be able to:
1) identify the dynamic properties of a structure from measured vibration response data,
2) calibrate finite element models based on identified dynamic properties,
3) identify the forces acting on a structure from its vibrational response.
Education Method Lectures are alternated by practical sessions in which the presented techniques are applied to a simple beam structure in Matlab.

Required for AT327-12 Arctic Offshore Engineering at UNIS, the University Centre at Longyearbyen, Svalbard (Spitsbergen).
Summary Arctic engineering is best defined as everything that has to do with engineering in the Arctic. The time available will not allow
us to cover "everything", but during this course a broad range of topics regarding engineering in the cold Arctic environment will
either be explored or more thoroughly investigated.
A large part of the engineering that takes place in the Arctic is related to offshore engineering; it is estimated that about 30% of
the global oil and gas reserves are to be found in the Arctic Circle beneath a thick layer of ice and in deep water, altogether in
hostile areas that are difficult to access. Additionally, the less remote Arctic areas such as the Baltic sea, are very popular for the
development of offshore wind projects. Due to its remoteness, the extreme cold, dangerous sea ice and its fragile environment,
the development and deployment of offshore (wind) projects and the transportation of gas and oil from the Arctic regions of the
globe require highly innovative technology for structures, vessels and pipelines. The Arctic has therefore long remained one of
the last frontiers in the offshore industry and offshore projects in the Arctic have only become feasible in the last decades. As a
consequence, the subject of Arctic Offshore Engineering is a relatively young topic and the present knowledge of this topic
within offshore companies is limited.
Arctic Engineering however is not only of importance for the offshore industry, but is also important for coastal protection and
other coastal structures as well as shipping and transportation. When considering all these engineering issues, the Arctic
ecosystem and the sustainability of life in the cold northern regions of the world must be taken into account and respected. The
subject of Arctic Offshore Engineering thus provides many highly interesting topics and provides many opportunities to
contribute to a safe, durable and profitable exploitation the Arctic.
Note that in this course we exclusively consider exploitation in the Arctic; Starting from 1961 and for many years to come, a
large number of countries, including the worlds largest economies, have together agreed that the Antarctic will be a natural
reserve devoted to peace and science, which means that mining, drilling and any other form of exploitation on or near Antarctica
is not allowed.
Course Contents The course OE44115 Arctic engineering is divided into 2 parts: part 1) a General introduction to Arctic engineering and part 2)
Dynamics of Ice-Structure Interaction and other Selected Topics.
During the general introduction to Arctic engineering, the general basics of Arctic engineering will be discussed, while taking
into account and respecting the delicate Arctic environment. This part of the course schedule includes a geographical and
historical overview of offshore developments in the Arctic, discusses typical ice features and ice regimes, considers the
classification of offshore structures in the Arctic, as well as the physical micro- and macro-properties of ice, ice morphology, ice
mechanics and ice thermodynamics. The general introduction to Arctic engineering is concluded by an introduction to ice-
structure interaction and the so-called ice actions and action effects. The calculation of static ice-induced loads on structures are
given using the Arctic engineering code ISO19906.
The second part of the course OE44115 Arctic engineering focuses on the modelling of static and dynamic ice-structure
interaction. Initially, the available models for ice-structure interaction and ice-induced vibrations are discussed and the
phenomenon of frequency lock-in is considered. Then, we consider the field-testing and scale-modelling, and compare the
corresponding empirical results to the different types of modelling for ice-structure interaction that are available. In addition,
during the second phase of this course, we specifically consider ship-ice interaction.
Study Goals The overall aim for this course is for students to become aware of all aspects related to engineering in the cold Arctic region,
both offshore and in its coastal regions, and for students to learn how to take these aspects into account when designing
structures for the Arctic region, including static and dynamic ice-structure interaction.
By the end of this course, students are able to:

> Classify Arctic structures and developments, and understand the design issues for structures in Arctic conditions.
> Identify ice features and ice regimes in different regions of the Arctic.
> Analyse the physics, mechanics and thermodynamics of ice.
> Assess static ice-induced loads on Arctic structures and ships.
> Analyse and evaluate the structural configuration of Arctic structures.
> Perform the modelling of static and dynamic ice-structure interaction.
> Take the delicate Arctic environment into account while engineering for Arctic conditions.
Education Method This course consists of 15 lectures and 2 non-compulsory bonus exercises.
Course Relations This course does not require any courses as compulsory pre-knowledge. Although generally Arctic Engineering is focused on
offshore applications, this course is set-up to address the complete range of Arctic Engineering applications, including the
development and transport of resources, environmental impact and climate change, oceanography, as well as maritime, hydraulic
and coastal engineering.
Nonetheless, interesting background information for the course OE44115 Arctic Engineering may be obtained from structural
engineering courses such as OE44096 Bottom Founded Offshore Structures and CIE4140 Structural Dynamics.
A positive result for the course OE44115 Arctic Engineering is compulsory to be allowed to participate in the course AT327-12
Arctic Offshore Engineering.
Literature and Study Currently, the lecture notes for this course are a work-in-progress; relevant parts will be made available through Brightspace.
Materials The lecture material for this course additionally consists of extensive lecture slides and hand-outs that are supplied during the
course as a part of the lectures and/or the bonus assignments and contain all the necessary information. The lecture slides and
hand-outs are provided to the participants of this course through Brightspace.
Assessment Participants of this course are assessed through a written exam scheduled at the end of Q3, with the option to increase the grade
by bonus assignments. In Q4, a written re-exam is scheduled, the bonus assignments however can only be done once during Q3.
Note here that the bonus earned by the bonus assignments applies to both the written exam in Q3 and the written re-exam in Q4.
The final grade for this course consists of the grade for the written exam and bonuses to the final grade that can be earned by
successfully completing the bonus assignments. To pass the course, the rounded final grade is at least a 6 out of 10.
