Herbich, J.B. (author), Van Weele, B. (author)The erosion of sand beaches due to oscillatory water particle motion of non-breaking waves can be of importance, particularly where such a beach is fronted by a sea wall supported on spread foundation. Laboratory study was conducted with natural beach sand; waves were generated mechanically. Geometric variables included the inclination of sea...report 1965

Goda, Y. (author), Kishara, Y. (author), Kamiyama, Y. (author)Series of measurements with irregular waves were undertaken for model seawalls of vertical walls with and without protection by concrete block mounds. Experimental data were compared and supplemented with theoretical calculations by the combination of the author's random wave breaking model in shallow waters and the weir type overflow model. The...report 1975

Veenstra, E. (author), Versmissen, K. (author), Meijer, M. (author), Muilwijk, M. (author), Groenendaal, E. (author)Havana City is situated on the north coast of the Republic of Cuba, the largest island in the Caribbean Sea. Because of Spanish and African influences Havana is one of the most picturesque cities of the western hemisphere. In the 18* and 19* century a part of the city that lies adjacent to the sea, the Malecón, has developed until today into a...student report 2003

Allsop, N.W.H. (author)Prediction of wave overtopping discharges for seawalls / breakwaters have improved significantly over the last 25 years, but processes associated with overtopping hazards to people on or close behind seawalls are not yet well understood. Despite research advances in recent years, there remain important gaps in knowledge and disagreements over...report 2005

Anonymous, A. (author)HR Wallingford has commenced an engineering review on the Final Closure of Saemangeum Dike. This draft final report represents the completion of the second phase of studies by HR Wallingford and is issued for review by KARICO and discussion with their representatives during meetings planned in Ansan during the second week of October 2005. The...report 2005

Cuomo, G. (author)In most developed coastal areas, seawalls protect towns, road, rail and rural infrastructure against wave overtopping. Similar structures protect port installations worldwide, and may be used for cliff protection. When a large tidal excursion and severe environmental conditions concur to expose seawalls and vertical face breakwaters to wave...report 2007

Khan Mozahedy, A.B.M. (author)Detrimental impacts of fossil fuels and its foreseen scarcity are encouraging research for the development of the renewable energy as alternatives. A newly developed composite seawall concept could be a vitally important technique for wave energy conversion. A 3-D model of composite seawall has been simulated to comprehend its hydraulic...master thesis 2009

Breukelman, H.J. (author)From a unique seaside town Vlissingen has developed into a generic fragmented coastal city. The main assignment in Vlissingen is to counter this fragmentation. Given the historical importance of the water for Vlissingen, it is re-introduced to function as connector of the different fragments of the city. One of these fragments, the Spuikom area,...master thesis 2012

La Gasse, L.C. (author), Van Rooij, M.I.S. (author), Smits, B.P. (author), Ton, A.M. (author), Velhorst, R.L.C. (author)This report presents a study of the Malecón Tradicional in front of ‘Centro de Havana’ and ‘Havana Vieja’ in the city Havana, Cuba. The objective is to develop a sea defence solution that prevents unacceptable flooding of the hinterland and damage of the Malecón seawall. Implementing the recommended solutions reduces the overtopping sufficiently...student report 2015

Muller, Jos (author)The City of Galveston is protected from extreme storm impact by a 17-km concrete seawall facing the Gulf of Mexico. Recent investigations have shown that the seawall may not be sufficient any more to protect against a 1 in 100 year design storm. Since raising the seawall disconnects the city from the beach and may be very costly, a hybrid...student report 2017

van Lambalgen, max (author), Lopriore, Luca (author), Vester, Frank (author), Jansen, Johan (author)This report contains a study for the Integral Coastal Defence System for the Malecón in the city of Havana, Cuba. The objective was to develop a sea defence solution that prevents unacceptable flooding of the hinterland and damage of the Malecón seawall. Deriving solutions from earlier reports and using old and new data, a solution is proposed...student report 2018

The city suffers from severe floods from time to time, finding its cause in both the Indian ocean as well as the Umgeni river. The eThekwini municipality wishes a better insight in the occurrence of these floods and searches for a structural solution to...student report 2019

Jonker, Ruben (author)In this research OpenFOAM is used to model and determine the complex hydrodynamic behaviour of a Homogeneous low-crested structure (HLCS) consisting of cubipod artificial concrete elements. The validated model is used to gain insight in the design sensitivities of a two dimensional cross sectional layout to reduce sea wall overtopping. HLCS and...master thesis 2020

Lashley, Christopher H. (author)Coastal communities across the globe are often protected by structures, such as seawalls, levees or dikes, which allow only a safe volume of water to pass over or “overtop” them due to wave action during storms. The area seaward of these structures is often characterised by shallow, gently sloping beds referred to as foreshores.<br/>As storm...doctoral thesis 2021

Koosheh, Ali (author), Etemad-Shahidi, Amir (author), Cartwright, Nick (author), Tomlinson, Rodger (author), van Gent, M.R.A. (author)Seawalls play a significant role in protecting coastal areas against wave attack and flooding. The accurate estimation of wave overtopping at seawalls is therefore crucial to adequately protect people and infrastructure in these regions. In this study, the mean wave overtopping rate at rubble mound seawalls was investigated through 140 small...journal article 2022

Koosheh, Ali (author), Etemad-Shahidi, Amir (author), Cartwright, Nick (author), Tomlinson, Rodger (author), van Gent, M.R.A. (author)For a safe design of a rubble mound seawall, overtopping characteristics such as the mean overtopping discharge (q) and the maximum individual overtopping volume (V<sub>max</sub>) should be limited. Unlike q, the estimation of V<sub>max</sub> is more complex and requires a wave-by-wave analysis of overtopping as well as a statistical analysis...journal article 2022

Zhan, Y.J. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), Zhou, Yunxuan (author)Tidal flats play an important role in the geomorphological and biological dynamics of coasts. Research on the morphological evolution of tidal flats constitutes one of the key research issues pertaining to the sustainability of coastal ecosystems and related coastal defense issues. In this work, a novel indicator, the surface tidal trail (STT...journal article 2022
