Quantification of measurement errors, model and scale effects related to overtopping

CLASH is concentrating on investigations of wave overtopping for different structures in prototype and in laboratory. The model investigations have focussed on wave overtopping and the comparison of overtopping results from small-scale model tests and prototype measurements. Possible differences in the results from small-scale tests and...

Laboratory measurements on the Zeebrugge breakwater

Within WP4 laboratory investigations for the Zeebrugge rubble mound breakwater have started in the wave flume of Leichtweiß-Institute for Hydraulic Engineering of the Technical University of Braunschweig (hereafter LWI) and in the wave flume of the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (hereafter UPVLC). In order to check any influence that is...

Wellenüberlaufströmung bei Seedeichen - Experimentelle und theoretische Untersuchungen

Wave overtopping is one of the most important processes for the design of seadikes which was responsible for many severe dike failures in the past. Wave overtopping can not be avoided due to the random nature of the waves and the uncertainties associated with the determination of the design water level. The present design on wave overtopping is...
