Collection Overamstel Experiments: Data underlying the dissertation: "Amsterdam quays under pressure - Modelling and testing of historic canal walls"

The collection has been compiled as part of the dissertation of M.J. Hemel (2023) entitled "Amsterdam quays under pressure - Modelling and testing of historic canal walls".<br>To expand the understanding of relevant parameters and failure mechanisms, as well as to refine computational models of quay walls, a comprehensive full-scale proof load experimental program was planned and executed during the first half of 2022. The experimental program took place on a timber founded quay wall located at a small inlet harbour at Amsterdam Overamstel which dates back from 1905. <br>To avoid mixing of uncertainties from varies sources three types of experiments are performed. These were:Four-point bending tests on timber piles,Lateral pile group experimentsProof load experiments on quay wall segments<br>The three experiments each have their own data set and doi.This is the overarching collection of the Overamstel Experiments, linking the three experiments.
