Abstract:
The Hydraulics and Geotechnics section - Bruges campus focuses on the interaction between water, soil and structures, with application in hard and soft sea defenses, offshore energy and (deep) foundations. The research domains studied encompass different research projects and PhD studies. Some examples of recent marine projects are:
  • SUSANA: sustainable use of sand in Nature Based Solutions for Coastal Protection;
  • Hydrogeological feedback mechanisms during juvenile dune development;

  • Sand exchange during engineered dune development for coastal resilience;
  • Dune-in-front-of-dike: towards a better understanding of the behavior of man-made dunes at the Belgian Coast;
  • Morphodynamics of the Belgian coast: getting more insight in the coastal dynamics of the Belgian Coastal Zone by intensive data analysis and modelling;
  • Polder2C's: Investigating the strength of flood defences, designing new and better emergency response actions and educating the next generation flood defences;
  • PHAIRYWIND: optimisation of vessel operations near offshore wind turbines;
  • Coastal Ocean Basin: in a consortium with Ghent University and Flanders Hydraulcs Research, the research group assisted in the construction of a wave basin in Ostend;
  • SAGE-SAND: on the ageing of soils near pile foundations of offshore wind turbines;
  • Soil-structure interaction framework for monopiles in sand under cyclic loading.
