 Abstract

This report provides an overview of the technical work undertaken by the partners under FLOODsite Task 6. The research in Task 6 addresses breach initiation and growth. Research was undertaken to (i) investigate and develop preliminary models for predicting wave induced breach initiation (ii) investigate soil processes, review and refine the HR BREACH predictive model (iii) extend the existing model by Visser to predict breach through cohesive materials and develop associated simplified equations for breach prediction.
