The beach drainage can be included among the soft engineering methods aimed to
counteract the shoreline retreat related to the sediment redistribution along the beach …

Numerical modelling of wave interaction with rock-armoured rubble mound breakwaters has
been performed to study wave overtopping. The influences of the slope angle, a berm in the …

Landslides, rockfalls, and iceberg calving impacting into a water body generate large
landslide-tsunamis posing a serious hazard in lakes and reservoirs. These waves can …

The main aim of the present work is to provide an experimental and numerical seabed
pressure dataset beneath rubble mound breakwaters with submerged berms. The …

This paper presents a physical model study of wave induced forces on a composite vertical
breakwater, where the crown wave wall is retreated with respect to the front face of the …

With the use of a pressure-based compressible flow solver, the issue of breaking wave
impact on perforated caisson breakwaters (PCBs) is comprehensively investigated. The …

Several failures of recurved concrete crownwalls have been observed in recent years. This
work aims to get a better insight within the processes underlying the loading phase of these …

Wave overtopping is a relevant threat for rubble mound breakwaters which are designed to
protect coastal areas or harbours. Currently, the wave overtopping assessment for such …

In the past few decades, huge surges and waves generated during tsunami events have
caused devastating destruction to both onshore and offshore infrastructures, seriously …

This paper describes a 2D physical model study on the hydraulic performances of composite
vertical breakwaters with retreated wave walls. The research is an expansion of a previous …
