Reinforcement profile

In koswat we consider a reinforcement profile the result of applying one of the multiple possible reinforcement calculations on an instance of a KoswatProfileBase (Koswat dike).

This chapter covers the description of a reinforcement profile and its parts.

Properties

A reinforcement profile implements the ReinforcementProfileProtocol, which is a specialization of the KoswatProfileProtocol with some differences:

  • input_data: Similar to the base profile input_data but instead implements the ReinforcementInputProfileProtocol, a specialization of the (KoswatInputProfileProtocol) which depends on the type of reinforcement being applied.
  • old_profile: New property which contains the koswat profile from which the calculation was based on.

Possible reinforcements.

We have two main different sort of reinfocements which contain also subtypes for said reinforcements:

  • Outside slope reinforcement: Cofferdam (kistdam), based on the OutsideSlopeReinforcementProfile. With this reinforcement the outside slope (buiten talud) of the dike is impacted.
  • Standard reinforcement: Piping wall (kwelscherm), soil (grondmaatregel profiel), stability wall (stabiliteitswand), vertical piping solution (verticale piping oplossing). The previous being based on the StandardReinforcementProfile.
  • A piping wall can be implemented by a cb wall (cement-bentoniet wand) and an unanchored sheet pile (onverankerde damwand).
  • A stability wall can be implemented by a diaphragm wall (diepwand) and an anchored sheet pile (verankerde damwand).

In addition, the above mentioned reinforcements can also implement their own ReinforcementInputProfileProtocol, which are after all extensions of the KoswatInputProfileBase with extra properties.
