Coastal Impacts Driven by Sea-Level Rise in Cartagena de Indias

This work analyzes the coastal impacts of the combined effect of extreme waves and sea level extremes, including surges and projected mean sea level rise in Bocagrande, Cartagena (Colombia). Extreme waves are assessed from a wave reanalysis that are propagated from deep waters to the beach considering the hydrodynamic processes and taking into...

Influence of wind and current on wave-run up and wave overtopping

The investigations of FlowDike 1 and FlowDike 2 on the effects of onshore wind and longshore current on wave run-up and wave overtopping for perpendicular and oblique wave attack. These variables were two of the missing effects in freeboard design and therefore a main interest for design purposes. Model tests were carried out in the shallow...

Individual overtopping events at dikes

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...

Technisch rapport golfoploop en golfoverslag bij dijken

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...

The optimisation of crest level design of sloping coastal structures through prototype monitoring and modelling, final report

This text introduces the ‘Detailed scientific and technical report’ of the MAST III project MAS03- CT97-0116 ‘The optimisation of crest level design of sloping coastal structures through prototype monitoring and modelling’ (acronym: OPTICREST). This report gives an account of the detailed scientific and technical outcome of the project referring...

Wave run-up on a rubble mound breakwater: Prototype measurements versus scale model tests

Wave run-up on a rubble mound breakwater is investigated. Prototype measurements are carried out on the Zeebrugge breakwater. Two 2D (1:30) and one 3D (1:40) scale models are tested. Measured prototype storms are simulated and parametric tests are performed. Wave run-up is detected by a novel step gauge allowing to detect wave run-up more...

Reservoir dams: Wave conditions, wave overtopping and slab protection

This report describes research to simplify and consolidate the prediction of wave action in reservoirs; to calculate wave induced discharges on embankments; and to extend work on blockwork and slabbing protection for dam faces presented by Herbert et.al (1995) in the companion report SR 345. The report should be used by engineers involved in the...

Taluds van losgestorte materialen, golfoploop op statisch stabiele taluds onder golfaanval

In dit verslag worden oploopmetingen gepresenteerd en geanalyseerd welke zijn verkregen tiJdens een uitvoerig fundamenteel onderzoek naar de statische stabiliteit van stortsteen taluds onder golfaanval. Van ongeveer 250 stabil i teitsproeven zijn oploopmetingen verzameld. De analyse van deze proeven heeft geleid tot relaties waarmee enige...

Characteristics of flow in run-up of periodic waves

The run-up of waves is an important factor in the design of shore structures. It has been investigated in many studies, both theoretical and experimental. The experimental studies have mostly been confined to the maximum run-up (the greatest height above still water level, reached by the periodic waves on the slope). A simple and reliable...

Run-up distributions of waves breaking on sloping walls

Distributions of run-up are calculated by assigning to each individual wave in an irregular wave train a run-up value according to Hunt's formula. The use of this formula permits a normalization of the run-up in such a way that the run-up distributions are independent of slope angle, mean wave height and mean wave period, Expressions arc derived...
