The Quay Walls of Amsterdam, Netherlands: An Approach for Collapse Risk Mitigation at the Municipal Scale Based on Multisource Monitoring and Surveying Data

Technical Paper

This paper presents a multiscale methodology for collapse risk mitigation of Amsterdam's 600 km of historic, aging quay walls, many of which are over 100 years old. Due to a lack of as-built information and limited assessment guidelines, predicting the end-of-life for these retaining structures is a major challenge.
