PIANC History Book 1885-2010 PIANC The World Association for Waterborne Transport Infrastructure Transport Association Waterborne for The World 1885-2010 PIANC The World Association for Waterborne Transport Infrastructure On 25 May 1885, the fi rst Inland Navigation Congress was held in Brussels, providing a forum for an international debate on these questions. After some years, the Inland Navigation Congress merged with the Ocean Navigation Congress and the International Navigation Congress was born. During the Congress in Paris, 1900, a Permanent International Commission for the Navigation Congresses was set up. Two years later Statutes were adopted. PIANC was a fact. PIANC changed considerably over the years, from an Association organising a Congress every four years, to an Association setting technical standards and publishing high ranking reports. Th e story of the probably oldest technical Association deserved to be recorded. Th is history book is the result. Th is book, prepared by a commission of distinguished members, will take you along the early years of the Association, the diffi cult war and postwar years, the rapid changes of the last quarter of the 20th century and will elaborate on the challenges of the 21st century: sustainable development, climate change, sea level rise and the need for working with nature. Th roughout the book are descriptions of technical highlights, major engineering developments and achievements, which were built during the 125 years of PIANC’s existence.

Establishment of PIANC (before 1885) It was 1885, a time of full prosperity and at the zenith of an outstanding industrial expansion, which was due to the perfection of the steam engine and the development of heavy industry. During the 19th century, international organisations were considered as the new approach to creating stable and peaceful relations between nations. The Congress and Treaty of Vienna of 1815 had confirmed the principle of free navigation for ships of all nations on international rivers such as the Rhine and Danube, leading to the Act of Mannheim of 1868, the basis for the international 11 Central Commission for Navigation on the Rhine and in 1857 to a treaty for the creation of the Danube Commission.

During the first three decades of the twentieth century, Japanese society underwent significant changes in a short amount of time. After the intense modernizations of the late nineteenth century, the start of the twentieth century witnessed an increase in overseas militarism, turbulent domestic politics, an evolving middle class, and the expansion of roles for women to play outside the home. As such, the early decades of the twentieth century in Japan were a crucial period for the formation of modern ideas about femininity and womanhood. Before, during, and after the rule of her husband Emperor Taishō (1879-1926; r. 1912-1926), Empress Teimei held a highly public role, and was frequently seen in a variety of visual media.

  • 100 Jaar Zuiderzeewet
    100 jaar Zuiderzeewet In 2018 wordt in het IJsselmeergebied met tal van activiteiten het feit herdacht dat honderd jaar geleden de Zuiderzeewet werd afgekondigd. In die evenementen staan niet alleen de totstandkoming van die wet centraal, maar ook de uitvoering ervan - bekend onder de naam Zuiderzeeproject - en de toekomstige ontwikkelingen inzake de Afsluitdijk, de IJsselmeerpolders, het IJsselmeer en het Markermeer. Ook Genootschap Flevo, in 1938 opgericht om wetenschappelijk onderzoek in het nieuw gewonnen land te ondersteunen, maar thans vooral een platform voor debat over actuele vraagstukken, draagt met zijn jaarprogramma bij aan de 'viering' van het eeuwfeest van de Zuiderzeewet. Met een twaalfdelige reeks artikelen op de website www.genootschapflevo.nl worden uiteenlopende aspecten van het Zuiderzeeproject in de schijnwerpers geplaatst. Daarmee onderstreept Genootschap Flevo dat de leden kennisdeling en kritische beschouwing hoog in het vaandel hebben staan. De bijdragen, die iedere maand rond de vijftiende gepubliceerd zullen worden onder de knop ‘Nieuws / Nieuwsberichten’, zijn geschreven door André Geurts, secretaris van Genootschap Flevo, historicus van professie en conservator bij Batavialand in Lelystad. De bijdragen worden in dit groeidocument verzameld. De januari-bijdrage (pp. 4-6): Niet drie-, maar viermaal is scheepsrecht Dit artikel is gewijd aan de wetsontwerpen die aan de afkondiging van de Zuiderzeewet van 1918 vooraf zijn gegaan. De februari-bijdrage (pp. 7-9): Het Plan-Lely Dit artikel is gewijd aan het plan dat ir. Cornelis Lely omstreeks 1890 in opdracht van de Zuiderzeevereeniging maakte voor de afsluiting en gedeeltelijke inpoldering van de Zuiderzee. Dit plan vormde de basis van de Zuiderzeewet van 1918.

  • Centenary of the Zuiderzee Act: a Masterpiece of Engineering
    NEWS Centenary of the Zuiderzee Act: a Masterpiece of Engineering The Dutch Zuiderzee Act came into force exactly 100 years ago today, on 14 June 1918. The Zuiderzee Act signalled the beginning of the works that continue to protect the heart of The Netherlands from the dangers and vagaries of the Zuiderzee, an inlet of the North Sea, to this day. This amazing feat of engineering and spatial planning was a key milestone in The Netherlands’ world-leading reputation for reclaiming land from the sea. Wim van Wegen, content manager at ‘GIM International’, was born, raised and still lives in the Noordoostpolder, one of the various polders that were constructed. He has written an article about the uniqueness of this area of reclaimed land. I was born at the bottom of the sea. Want to fact-check this? Just compare a pre-1940s map of the Netherlands to a more contemporary one. The old map shows an inlet of the North Sea, the Zuiderzee. The new one reveals large parts of the Zuiderzee having been turned into land, actually no longer part of the North Sea. In 1932, a 32km-long dam (the Afsluitdijk) was completed, separating the former Zuiderzee and the North Sea. This part of the sea was turned into a lake, the IJsselmeer (also known as Lake IJssel or Lake Yssel in English). Why 'polder' is a Dutch word The idea behind the construction of the Afsluitdijk was to defend areas against flooding, caused by the force of the open sea. The dam is part of the Zuiderzee Works, a man-made system of dams and dikes, land reclamation and water drainage works.

  • Evart Van Dieren Een Kroniek Van Het Falen
    Dit is het verhaal van een ‘gewone man’ die verzeild raakte in de omwenteling jaap bos van de negentiende naar de twintigste eeuw. Een tijd van technologische vooruitgang en een grenzeloos optimisme, maar ook enorme sociale, politieke en maatschappelijke onrust. Het leven van allen – hoofdrolspelers en fi guranten gelijk – veranderde voorgoed. Ontmoet Evart van Dieren, Amsterdams schrijver-arts, sociaalcriticus, amateurfi losoof en auteur van een groot maar inmiddels vergeten oeuvre. Hij gleed als een schim langs de geschiedenis en werd wie hij niet had moeten zijn: een mislukking. Vijand van alles wat nieuw was, slaagde hij er niet in de moderne Dieren van Evart tijd tegen te houden. Wel lukt het om met zijn vreemde werken zijn tijdgenoten op unieke wijze een spiegel voor te houden. Als miskende buitenstaander bleek hij echter buitengewoon getalenteerd. Kroniek van het falen beschrijft de strijd van een sympathieke dwarsligger die gedoemd was te verdwijnen in de marge van het leven, en in die marge tenslotte een eigen plek wist op te eisen. Dr. Jaap Bos is verbonden aan de afdeling Algemene Sociale Wetenschappen (ASW) van de Universiteit Utrecht. ‘Het exemplarische lot van de eeuwige buitenstaander wordt door Bos meesterlijk en met veel gevoel voor stijl beschreven.
