Overtopping of Berm Breakwaters Evaluation of Overtopping Formula

open access: yes, 2005
The berm breakwater concept is basicly rather old, but was not used very much until it was “reinvented” in the early 1980’ties, when a slope protection for an airfield runway extending into the sea in the Alutian Islands, Alaska was designed.

VERTICAL SEA WALL CREST MODIFICATIONS FOR OVERTOPPING

open access: yesCoastal Engineering Proceedings, 2018
Crest modifications such as a storm wall, parapet or a bullnose are widely used to reduce the wave overtopping over coastal structures where spatial and visual demands restrict the crest heights, especially in urban areas. Although reduction factors of these modifications have been studied for sloped structures in EurOtop Manual (2016), there is ...

Forest Recovery or Shrubland Assembly? Vegetation Dynamics in Abandoned Atlantic Forest Highland Pastures

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding successional trajectories in abandoned lands is critical for predicting forest recovery potential in the Atlantic Forest, a global biodiversity hotspot. Over a decade of field monitoring (2014–2025) in permanent plots in the subtropical highlands of southern Brazil, we analyzed the dynamics of tree‐shrub components in abandoned ...

The impacts of coastal protection structures in California’s Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This report outlines the potential impacts of coastal protection structures on the resources of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. At least 15 miles of the Sanctuary’s 300-mile shoreline are currently armored with seawalls and riprap revetments.

Enhancements in reservoir flood risk mapping: example application for Ulley

open access: yes, 2014
In July 2007, at Ulley Reservoir, South Yorkshire, a catastrophic dam failure was narrowly avoided due to emergency preventative actions. During the event, a number of homes were evacuated and roads were closed for precautionary measures.

Flood Routing and Dam Breach Parameter Calculation on Sepaku Semoi Dam

open access: yesAptisi Transactions on Technopreneurship
This study endeavors to develop a comprehensive flood routing model and ascertain dam breach parameters at the Sepaku Semoi Dam. Driven by the escalating threat of floods due to climate change and urban expansion, effective water management strategies ...

Numerical Study of Flow Characteristics on Landward Levee Slopes Under Overtopping at Different Froude Numbers

open access: yesSci
Most levees are composed of earthen materials, making their structural stability vulnerable under flood conditions, especially in the case of overtopping. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the channel Froude number and the flow behavior

Multiscale Numerical Modeling of Wave Overtopping for Pedestrian Hazard Classification and Risk Assessment

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
The risk of wave overtopping is amplifying under sea-level rise and increased frequency of extreme coastal events. Conventional empirical and physical methods for estimating overtopping characteristics are limited by site-specific assumptions, which ...
