Tuan, T.Q. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)Under effects of tropical cyclones, the coast is subjected to attack both by surge and wave from the sea and by flooding from the bay. These forces pose a serious breaching threat to natural sea-defence works such as barrier spits, barrier islands, lagoon barriers, etc. on the coast. Unintended breaching can be catastrophic, causing losses of...conference paper 2006

Tuan, T.Q. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Visser, P.J. (author), Stive, M. (author)For management of coastal breaching hazards it is critical to be able to assess the potential of coastal barrier breaching as a result of wave actions during storm surges (wave overwash). This phenomenon is known as the breach initiation phase; the mechanisms behind this are not very well understood. In the present study, laboratory experiments...conference paper 2006
