Wave Overtopping over Sea Dikes and Impact Forces on Storm Walls

Vulnerability of Buildings on Coastal Dikes due to Wave Overtopping

The vulnerability of buildings on coastal dikes due to overtopping wave impacts is difficult to assess. A method is developed in this paper to quantify the vulnerability of masonry buildings on a coastal dike exposed to wave overtopping. Using previous studies, the accidental loads due to the extreme wave impacts are characterized. Using the approach from Eurocode 6, the strength of masonry bui...

Colloids: Applications and Remaining Challenges

Using of colloids and polymeric microparticles are gradually increasing. It is observed that the positive effects of particles stems in both traditional applications such as column pickings, coatings and paints to more recent technologies in diagnostics, drug delivery and optical devices are well documented. This review focuses on importance of colloids and covers their applications on three le...
