Overtopping metrics and coastal safety

A case of study from the catalan coast

Design criteria for coastal defenses exposed to wave overtopping are usually assessed by mean overtopping discharges and maximum individual overtopping volumes. However, it is often difficult to give clear and precise limits of tolerable overtopping for all kinds of layouts. A ...

The design of the armour layer of a breakwater still allows further optimization and presents significant levels of uncertainties for selected parameters. The available analytical formulations are based on a small number of experiments and normally physical model tests are necess ...
