The worsening impacts of land reclamation assessed with Sentinel-1: The Rize (Turkey) test case [PDF]
, 2019 Massive amounts of land are being reclaimed to build airports, new cities, ports, and highways. Hundreds of kilometers are added each year, as coastlines are extended further out to the sea.

Influence of convex and concave curvatures in a coastal dike line on wave run-up [PDF]
, 2019 Due to climatic change and the increased usage of coastal areas, there is an increasing risk of dike failures along the coasts worldwide. Wave run-up plays a key role in the planning and design of a coastal structure.

Extreme wave run-up and pressure on a vertical seawall [PDF]
Applied Ocean Research, 2017 The performance of coastal vertical seawalls in extreme weather events is studied numerically, aiming to provide guidance in designing and reassessing coastal structures with vertical wall. The extreme wave run-up and the pressure on the vertical seawall are investigated extensively. A time-domain higher-order boundary element method (HOBEM) is coupled

Wave overtopping and toe scouring at a plain vertical seawall with shingle foreshore : a physical model study [PDF]
, 2019 This paper describes a physical model study to investigate the wave overtopping and toe scouring at a plain vertical wall with a shingle foreshore. A matrix of 180 experimental test conditions were performed in a 2D wave flume, with an approximate scale ...

Nonlinear Simulation of Wave Train Impact on a Vertical Seawall [PDF]
Water, 2018 A 2D nonlinear numerical wave flume is developed to investigate the wave train impact on a vertical seawall. Fully nonlinear kinematic and dynamic boundary conditions are satisfied on the instantaneous free surface. Cases of single-, double- and multi-crest wave trains are discussed.

EFFECT OF TANDEM BREAKWATER ON PRESSURE REDUCTION ON VERTICAL SEAWALL
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2023 There is an urgent need to develop methodologies to upgrade and retrofit existing coastal structures to retain their functionality in the scenario of changing climate. It is noticed that higher wave loads cause structural damage and increase wave overtopping rates, resulting in coastal flooding and inundation.

Wave Impact Pressures on Stepped Revetments
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2018 The wave impacts on horizontal and vertical step fronts of stepped revetments is investigated by means of hydraulic model tests conducted with wave spectra in a wave flume. Wave impacts on revetments with relative step heights of 0.3 < Hm0/Sh < 3.5
