Experimental study on wave-induced scour in front of sloping coastal structures and the influence of bed protection

The erosion of the seabed in front of coastal structures induced by waves can lead to multiple types of failure instability or function of the structure. On this topic most research has been done into erosion in front of vertical structures. For sloping structures a knowledge gap exists in the understanding of the processes that lead to erosion...

Rear-Slope Revetment Stability Approached by the Wave Overtopping Simulator: Experiments Regarding the Stability of Single-Layer Cube Revetment on Breakwater Crests and Rear Slopes

Contrary to a breakwater outer slope, rear-slope revetment does not have to withstand breaking waves. However, generally, an equal dimensioned revetment is used on both the inner- and outer slope. Although with low-crested breakwaters severe overtopping occurs, the application of similarly sized armour on both sides still results in an over...
