Numerical simulation of wave attack on sea dike with asphalt concrete revetment

The numerical simulation of wave attack on a sea dike with an asphalt concrete revetment during a severe storm is carried out using the dynamic Finite Element Method. When wave loads attack the revetment during such a storm, both the revetment and the underlying soil may be damaged. The two-phase flow equations are considered, to study the...

Hydraulic performance, wave loading and response of Elastocoast revetments and their foundation - a large scale model study -

ELASTOCOAST revetments are highly porous structures made of crushed stones which are durably and elastically bonded by Polyurethane (PU). To improve the understanding of the physical processes involved in the wave-structure-foundation interaction and to develop prediction formulae for both hydraulic performance and wave loading more than 75...
