Abstract

This report describes the analysis of a Delta flume experiment on an asphaltic concrete revetment performed in the year 1991. In the experiment the strain at the underside of the revetment is measured together with the deflection of the revetment and the wave impact pressure which causes the strain. In the years after the experiment some researchers analyzed the experiment aiming to model and calculate the relation between the wave impact and the strain. In this thesis the model used by these researchers is used in a statistic approach recalculating the strain.
