A probabilistic framework is developed to calculate the cross-dike failure probability by
overtopping waves on grass-covered dikes. The cross-dike failure probability of dike profiles …

The wave overtopping flow can exert high hydraulic loads on the grass cover of dikes
leading to failure of the cover layer on the crest and the landward slope. Hydraulic variables …

This paper presents the results of a numerical modeling study on the scouring of
unprotected rear side material of a rubble mound coastal revetment due to the overtopping …

Hard structures, ie, roads, are commonly found over flood defences, such as dikes, in order
to ensure access and connectivity between flood protected areas. Several climate change …

Overtopping waves exert a high hydraulic load on the landward slopes of flood defences
leading to erosion of the grass cover and finally to a dike breach. The hydraulic load is an …

The average overtopping discharge is an important parameter for the design and
reinforcement of dikes. Rock armour on the waterside slopes and berms of dikes is widely …

Climate change induces droughts that are becoming more intensive and more frequent than
ever before. Most of the available forecast tools predict a further significant increase in the …

A new wave overtopping-erosion model is developed to find the weakest point across the
dike. This analytical model calculates the maximum flow velocity and the erosion depth …

It is not uncommon for a flood defence to be combined with other societal uses as a
multifunctional flood defence, from housing in urban areas to nature conservation in rural …

This study presents the physical model experiments on the wave overtopping induced bed
level changes at an unprotected rear side of a rubble mound revetment with a crown wall. In …
