(author), de Jong, Kornelis (author), Nieuwenhuis, Jan Willem (author), Govers, Laura L. (author), Olff, Han (author), Bouma, Tjeerd J. (author)Salt marshes fronting coastal structures, such as seawalls and dikes, may offer important ecosystem-based coastal defence by reducing the wave loading and run-up levels during storms. We question (i) how the long-term salt marsh development in the Dutch Wadden Sea relates to the tidal-flat foreshore bathymetry and (ii) how the wave run-up...journal article 2023

(author), Shibayama, Tomoya (author)In the aftermath of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami Japanese tsunami protection philosophy now dictates that coastal defences should prevent the land that they protect from being flooded under a Level 1 event (with a return period in the order of about 100 years). To ascertain the overtopping mechanism and leeward inundation heights of...conference paper 2018

Salauddin, M. (author)In the design of rubble mound breakwaters, nowadays single layer systems using concrete armour units have become more common practice compared to conventional two layer systems. However, after the introduction of the accropode in eighties, a small number of single layer armour units have been developed over the years; for example core-loc, A...report 2015

Hai, T.L. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)Many dike failures have been ignited by damage due to erosion on the landward slopes. This paper investigates how grass covered slopes perform when being attacked by overtopping flow during storm surges. Based on observations during a number of simulator tests, damage is classified into three types 'head-cut', 'roll-up' and 'collapse' depending...conference paper 2014

Trung, L.H. (author)A large part of the Vietnamese population is living close to the coast. The sea is an essential source for supporting lives. Coastal flooding, on the other hand, threatens the people, land and infrastructures every year. Some hundreds years ago, the first sea dikes were built in Thai Binh and Nam Dinh provinces. In the north, the coastline is...doctoral thesis 2014

Trung, L.H. (author)The study aims to establish a set of formulas estimating velocity and depth of overtopping flows at sea dikes including seaward-side slope, crest and landward-side slope. These formulas are applicable to flows which are generated by natural waves and the simulator giving associated characteristics of any arbitrary value of exceedance probability...report 2014

Verheij, H.J. (author), Hoffmans, G. (author), Hardeman, B. (author), Paulissen, M. (author)Destructive wave overtopping tests have been performed at more than 20 dike sections in the Netherlands using the Wave Overtopping Simulator to simulate the overtopping waves. The tests show the combined behaviour of turf and substrate up to mean wave overtopping discharges of 75 ?/s per m, meaning wave volumes up to 5,500 ?/m with flow...conference paper 2012

Lioutas, A. (author), Smith, G.M. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)The scope of this research is to find an empirical formula to describe the distribution of wave overtopping in the region behind the crest. A physical model was set up in which irregular waves were generated. In order to find a formula which adequately describes the test observations, the influence of several parameters has been analysed. The...conference paper 2012

Van der Meer, J.W. (author), Hardeman, B. (author), Steendam, G.J. (author), Schüttrumpf, H. (author), Verheij, H.J. (author)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...conference paper 2011

Bosman, G. (author), Van der Meer, J.W. (author), Hoffmans, G. (author), Schüttrumpf, H. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)Recently, formulae have been derived for maximum flow depths and velocities on the crest and inner slope of dikes or levees at wave overtopping. Two independent physical model test programs in different wave flumes showed, however, a large difference in the results. The present paper clarifies this discrepancy and shows that the empirical...conference paper 2008
