Coastal infrastructure operativity against flooding – A methodology
Science of The Total Environment, 2020 The operativity of the transport infrastructures and urban developments protected by coastal structures is conditioned by flooding events and the resulting wave overtopping. This work presents a methodology to assess the operational conditions of infrastructures located in coastal areas based on the combination of advanced statistical techniques ...
