Introduction and main messages
With that the risk that calculation results are taken for granted
has increased as well (they look nice and everything is
modeled, so it has to be OK..)

Storm Surge Barrier
Where and why
Delft
An alternative to dike
reinforcements in South Holland
is a storm surge barrier.
This option turns out to be the
most attractive in terms of cost,
environmental effects and
safety.
360 m wide
18.5 m deep
Just for scale..
As high as the
Eiffel tower, but
twice as heavy!!

Advantage:
Simple easy to evaluate for many time histories
Disadvantage:
Only one displacement value (for the sliding block)
Not accounting for water next to the slope
