Wave overtopping at vertical and steep seawalls

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Maritime Engineering, 2005
Wave overtopping is the critical response of most sea defence structures and one of the more important responses for many coast defences around the UK and other developed shorelines. Sea defences in rural areas are commonly provided by embankment seawalls.

Violent Overtopping of Vertical Seawalls Under Oblique Wave Conditions

Coastal Structures 2003, 2004
This paper describes how most prediction methods for wave overtopping are based on physical model tests under simple 2-D conditions. This paper also describes experiments to measure mean and wave-by-wave overtopping discharge under oblique wave attack. Results suggest that overtopping discharges reduce significantly only for angles of wave attach that ...

Random wave overtopping of vertical seawalls on coral reefs

Applied Ocean Research, 2020
Abstract Reliable estimations of overtopping rates are necessary for the design of vertical seawalls. Although many studies have been carried out to address this, few have paid attention to vertical seawalls built on coral reefs. In this study, a physical model was constructed with an idealized coral reef topography and vertical seawalls located on ...

Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Curved-Front Seawall Models Compared with Vertical Seawall under Regular Waves

Journal of Coastal Research, 2011
Abstract Seawalls remain one of the most widely adopted coastal-protection measure. The seawalls should be stable to ensure safety and optimally use the coastal space with a minimum or no waves overtopping but still keeping the crest elevation low.

Stilling wave basins for overtopping reduction at an urban vertical seawall – The Kordon seawall at Izmir

Ocean Engineering, 2019
Abstract Reduction of wave overtopping at urban coastal structures is a significant concern as uncontrolled flooding, and the wave forces disrupt the daily flow of the urban life causing damage to people, structures and economy. However, the design of these structures needs to consider the spatial and visual demands of the urban function that ...

Computer-aided design of gravity type vertical seawall

Advances in Engineering Software, 1994
Abstract The design of a seawall will inevitably involve an enormous amount of repetitive design calculations which is quite tedious and time consuming. In this paper, the development and verification of a program, tailored for use on IBM compatible microcomputers, for the computer-aided design of gravity type vertical seawall formed by precast ...
