Physical model tests have been performed to study wave overtopping at rubble mound breakwaters, including breakwaters with a crest wall, breakwaters with a berm, and breakwaters with a crest wall and a berm. For rubble mound structures with a protruding crest wall or with a stabl ...
The wave overtopping discharge during extreme storm conditions largely determines the required crest height in dike reinforcement projects. In case of future sea level rise, crest heights should be increased significantly, which potentially leads to significant costs and environm ...
This paper describes a method of determining the reaction forces of a vertical structure with an overhang to impulsive wave impacts. The aim is to develop a method to design a hydraulic structure exposed to the impulsive w ...
Wave loads on crest walls on top of rubble mound structures determine the size of these crest walls. For the design of crest walls some design guidelines exist, but their validity is limited to particular designs of the cross section (berm, no berm, toe, armour layout, protruding ...
