Abstract

Reduction of risks due to overtopping of coastal defences is an essential requirement for the design, management and adaptation of coastal structures. Extensive knowledge is available on the prediction of overtopping of smooth, sloping and vertical impermeable seawalls. The existing prediction metho...
