Breakwaters and closure dams
This book is primarily a text book for graduate students in Civil Engineering. It places the developments in their historic perspective, at least when this contributes to better understanding.
The book builds on a variety of courses on subjects such as fluid mechanics, hydraulic engineering, coastal engineering and bed, bank and shore protection, design process, and probabilistic design. Many subjects are refreshed briefly.
At first sight it seems strange to combine the design of two rather dedicated types of structures with distinctly different purposes, however from an educational point of view this is not so. In both cases the design process requires that due attention should be paid to:
the functional requirements,
the various limit states to which a structure will be exposed in relation to the requirements,
the various limit states that occur during construction phases,
the relation between these limit states and the occurrence of certain natural conditions.
The differences between closure dams and breakwaters will enable us to focus attention on the above mentioned considerations. In addition to this, there are also quite a number of similarities. In this respect, the book deals also with construction materials, such as quarry stone, concrete blocks and caissons, which are widely used in both types of structures. The same applies to a wide range of construction equipment, both floating and rolling, and, last but not least, the interdependence between design and construction.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Mooney's bookstore, Den Helder, Netherlands, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
