AGED ASPHALTIC DIKE REVETMENTS ON (SATURATED) SAND TESTED IN A LARGE DELTAFLUME. (2018). Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1(36), structures.3. https://doi.org/10.9753/icce.v36.structures.3
Resumen
In the Netherlands, 600 km of the sea dikes are protected by an asphaltic revetment which must resist considerable wave loads with a significant wave height of up to 4.5 m. The subsoil is normally sandy, and the asphalt layer can fail as a result of fatigue due to repeated loading under storm conditions (Wichman & Davise 2016). Fifty years old asphalt has been taken from the Dutch Lauwersmeer dike and placed on a sand body in the large Deltaflume at Deltares, where it is possible to generate large waves (up to 4 meters). It is still unsure how the asphalt will fail, while interacting with the sandy subsoil, depending on the position of the phreatic line, among other factors.Referencias
