(author), Cappietti, Lorenzo (author)Overtopping bore impact forces on a dike mounted vertical wall were measured in similar large-scale (Froude length scale factor 1-to-4.3) and small-scale (Froude length scale factor 1-to-25) models. The differences due to scale effects were studied, by comparing the up-scaled force measurements from both models in prototype. It was noted that if...conference paper 2019

Chen, Hui (author), Ni, Yan (author), Li, Yulong (author), Liu, Feng (author), Ou, Suying (author), Su, Min (author), Peng, Yisheng (author), Hu, Zhan (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author), Suzuki, T. (author)Coastal vegetation is efficient in damping incident waves even in storm events, thus providing valuable protections to coastal communities. However, large uncertainties lie in determining vegetation drag coefficients (C<sub>D</sub>), which are directly related to the wave damping capacity of a certain vegetated area. One major uncertainty is...journal article 2018

(author), Klein Breteler, Mark (author), Kaste, Dorothea (author)Overtopping wave loads on vertical structures on top of a dike have been investigated in several small scale experiments in the past. A large-scale validation for a mild foreshore situation is still missing. Hence the WALOWA experimental campaign was carried out to address this topic. In the present paper the objectives of the WALOWA project are...conference paper 2017

Chen, X. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author), Pasterkamp, S. (author), Suzuki, T. (author), Altomare, Corrado (author)The vulnerability of buildings on coastal dikes due to overtopping wave impacts is difficult to assess. A method is developed in this paper to quantify the vulnerability of masonry buildings on a coastal dike exposed to wave overtopping. Using previous studies, the accidental loads due to the extreme wave impacts are characterized. Using the...journal article 2017

Chen, X. (author), Hassan, W. (author), Uijttewaal, W. (author), Verwaest, T. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Suzuki, T. (author), Jonkman, S.N. (author)Wide crested dike can reduce the kinetic energy of the overtopping wave and make the overtopping wave to flow back to the seaside. If a coastal town were built on or near a dike, the overtopping wave running on the dike crest generates the force which can affect the buildings located in its path. However, quantifying the hydrodynamic load on the...conference paper 2012
