Monitoren en Stabiliteit van Dijken en Kades

Soil mechanics topics for dikes and embankments: Soils as construction materials. Volumetric behaviour of the soils; i.e. consolidation and creep, Soil shear strength, Seepage and free surface flow.

Construction and lifetime behaviour: Generation and dissipation of pore pressures. Settlements and deformation. Geomechanical analysis of deformation. Influence of pore water pressure.

Geotechnical monitoring: Measurement of displacements, pore pressure, water content. Design of a monitoring system for dikes, embankments and subsoil. Data elaboration and interpretation.

Static 3D object reconstruction: Observation technologies for geometry Relevant estimation theory. Modelling 3D objects. Working with large data volumes. Visualisation in 3D.

Dynamic 3D: Observation of deformation. Remote Sensing techniques, time series analysis, monitoring in (near) real-time.

Observation and estimation theory: Aspects related to 3D dikes and embankments. Thresholds and approaches for critical situations.
