Omschrijving

Within the legal assessment instrument (WBI2017), only the upper 0,5 m of the grass cover of levees can be taken into account as strength. Any erosion-resistant (clay) layers present underneath cannot be included in calculations, while these are often present. This led us to the following question:

?How can we consider the residual strength of a levee with a failed grass cover on the outer slope??

Arcadis would like to investigate this for waterboards for which it carries out many projects. The following sub-questions are relevant:

  • What has been done with the underlying knowledge of VTV2006 and TR Steenzetting?
  • How can a probabilistic approach be shaped? At what time does the grass cover fail during a storm, at the beginning, at the end or anytime in between?
  • How can residual strength be properly embedded in the flood risk approach?

Would you like to help us with questions like these? You can read the requirements for this graduation position below.

For this graduation internship we are looking for a student with the following competences:

  • You study Civil Engineering, Hydraulic Engineering, Geo Engineering, Water Management or something similar.

Further important details are:

  • Some documentation is written in Dutch so professional reading and writing knowledge of the Dutch language is required;
  • You can work on your assignment at the nearest office, at a workplace at the University or from home;
  • Period that the research must be carried out: second half of 2019 and first part of 2020.

Do you recognise yourself in these requirements? We are looking forward to receive your motivation letter and CV.
