Experimental Evidence of the Influence of Recurves on Wave Loads at Vertical Seawalls [PDF]
Water, 2020 The role of recurves on top of seawalls in reducing overtopping has been previously shown but their influence in the distribution and magnitude of wave-induced pressures and forces on the seawall remains largely unexplored.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON TSUNAMI FORCES ACTING ON VERTICAL SEAWALLS UNDER OVERFLOW
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2018 For tsunami seawalls installed along coastline, measures for tsunami disaster assuming overflow are required from the viewpoint of failsafe. Therefore, the tsunami force verified under overflow condition is necessary for the optimal design.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 In the context of “green” approaches to coastal engineering, the term “eco-engineering” has emerged in recent years to describe the incorporation of ecological concepts (including artificially water-filled depressions and surface textured tiles on ...

Field observations of seabed scour dynamics in front of a seawall during winter gales
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Seawalls are vital for protecting coastal areas. However, the seabed in front of seawalls may undergo severe scouring. This can result in destabilization of the seawall structure, the underlying mechanisms of which remains unclear.

Journal of Water and Climate Change, 2022 Experiments are the traditional techniques used in coastal engineering to study complex wave structure interactions. However, with the advent of high-performance computing, even performing 1:1 scale numerical simulations has become a reality.

Breaking Solitary Wave Impact on a Vertical Seawall [PDF]
Water, 2022 Wave interactions with vertical and sloping seawalls are indeed complicated, especially for the impacts due to breaking waves, which are unsteady, turbulent and multi-phase. Available studies successfully measured the impact pressure due to waves acting on seawalls, whereas the associated flow velocity and turbulence characteristic received limited ...

Evaluation of Dynamic Pressure on Compound Perforated Wave Screen under Regular Waves [PDF]
علوم و مهندسی آبیاری, 2018 Coasts play an important role in economy of each country for their strategic location for residential, recreational, and industrial activities. Hence, a need has arisen to protect and maintain these coasts against waves and currents. (Rageh et al., 2009).

Oyster reefs as natural breakwaters mitigate shoreline loss and facilitate fisheries. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Shorelines at the interface of marine, estuarine and terrestrial biomes are among the most degraded and threatened habitats in the coastal zone because of their sensitivity to sea level rise, storms and increased human utilization.

Effects of a Vertical Seawall on Profile Response
Coastal Engineering 1988, 1988 An attempt is made to determine beach profile response due to the presence of a vertical seawall placed in various cross-shore positions, and to examine the differences between natural beaches and seawall-backed beaches in response to normally incident wave attack.
