Presentations Overview

Artificial or Engineered reefs are typically submerged structures, developed for enhancing the ecological system. Often these artificial reefs have either a complex shape inspired by biomimicry (e.g. Coastruction) or a more regular shape, designed to function as modular blocks that can be easily pla...

The results of an experimental investigation to analyze the water flow, the stability of the pieces and the reflectioncoefficient of a slope of concrete cubes placed in an organized way, paving stone style, together with larger blocks to increaseits overall roughness, are presented.The experiment wa...

Hydraulic structures are essential for flood protection, water management and navigation in coastal, delta and lake regions. Their importance will continue to grow in the coming years, because of two main factors. Firstly, because of the consequences of climate change and sea level rise. Secondly, b...

As part of the research programme on the strength of clay with grass cover on the upper slope of a dike, large scale physical model testing has been performed. These physical model tests where the first step within the programme. In the second step the CFD model OpenFoam has been used to broaden the...

Composite vertical breakwaters are structures often used to protect port basins, especially in deep-water conditions. One of the technical solution to optimize the performance of these structures consists in placing the crown wall at a retreated position, aiming at inducing a time lag between the lo...

The GPMDLR has requested to ARTELIA the preliminary design studies for the enlargement of the containers terminal in Port East (La Réunion). In the frame of the studies, the laboratory of ARTELIA has carried out in 2D physical model testing to evaluate the behavior of caissons exposed to cyclonic w...

This work introduces a novel open-source experimental database focused on the dynamic response of a moored floater under regular and focused waves. The database provides detailed information about the motion of a cylindrical body anchored with two distinct mooring configurations: one with four evenl...
