Field measurements of very oblique wave run-up and overtopping with laser scanners

This paper presents the first field measurements with an innovative laser scanner system, during an actual severe winter storm with very oblique wave attack. The goal of this paper is to validate this innovative system for measuring wave run-up and wave overtopping parameters during storms with very oblique wave attack. The paper describes the...

Calibration and preparation of field measurements of oblique wave run-up and overtopping on dikes using laser scanners

Wave overtopping is typically measured in the field using overtopping tanks. In this paper, an alternative system is developed that uses two laser scanners. The system also measures wave run-up, as well as run-up depths and velocities, both during perpendicular and oblique waves on a dike in the field. The paper considers the first calibration...

Field Measurements of Very Oblique Wave Run-up and Overtopping with Laser Scanners

Oosterlo et al. (2019) developed a system using two terrestrial laser scanners, which can measure run-up heights, depths and velocities of waves on a dike in field situations. The system has now been placed next to two overtopping tanks on a dike in the Eems-Dollard estuary in the Netherlands to measure during actual severe winter storms. The...

Measuring (Oblique) Wave Run-Up and Overtopping with Laser Scanners

Wave overtopping is commonly measured using overtopping tanks. In this paper, an alternative system is developed by using two laser scanners. It measures wave run-up, as well as layer thicknesses and front velocities, both during normally and obliquely incident waves on a dike in the field. The paper considers the first field validation tests...

Handreiking Toetsen Grasbekledingen op Dijken t.b.v. het opstellen van het beheerdersoordeel (BO) in de verlengde derde toetsronde

Dit rapport is voortgekomen uit de resultaten van een vier jaar durend destructief onderzoek naar de erosiebestendigheid van binnentaluds onder golfoverslagbelasting. Dit onderzoek is onder andere uitgevoerd met de golfoverslagsimulator. In het onderzoek is kennis ontwikkeld over de wijze waarop golfoverslag de grasbekleding van een binnentalud...

SBW Wave overtopping and grass cover strength: Preditions of Prototype Tests

Overview of overtopping with focus on river dikes. Realtin with sod density.

Flow depths and velocities at crest and landward slope of a dike, in theory and with the wave overtopping simulator

Wave overtopping discharges at coastal structures are well described in the EurOtop Manual (2007), including the distribution of overtopping wave volumes. Each volume that overtops a dike or levee will have a certain flow velocity and depth record in time, often given by the maximum velocity and flow depth. This paper describes some further...

Bewezen sterkte Noorse Steen

Noorse steenbekledingen bestaan al heel lang, vanaf begin 1800. De ervaring met de huidige Noorse steen is erg goed. In de laatste 50 jaar is er nauwelijks tot geen schade ontstaan. Aanvullend op een voorgestelde aangescherpte toetsmethodiek voor Noorse steen, is het zinnig na te gaan wat bewezen sterkte voor Noorse steen zou kunnen betekenen....

Toetsmethodiek Noordse steen

Voor het toetsen van een dijkbekleding bestaande uit Noorse steen is nog geen bevredigende toetsmethode voorhanden, vooral omdat de bestaande methode erg conservatief is. De toetsmethode gaat namelijk uit van los gestorte breuksteen, wat een Noorse zetting beslist niet is. Uitgangspunt in dit rapport is een benadering vanuit de "breuksteenkennis...

The international database on wave overtopping

One of the main objectives within the EU-project CLASH (www.clash-eu.org) was to create a generic prediction method for wave overtopping at coastal structures by means of the Neural Network technique. An extensive and homogeneous database on wave overtopping was set up within CLASH, mainly with the aim to be used for the training process of the...
