Wave overtopping discharges at coastal structures are well described in the EurOtop
Manual (2007), including the distribution of overtopping wave volumes. Each volume that …

Predicted climate change and the associated sea level rise poses an increased threat of
flooding due to wave overtopping events at sea and river dikes. To safeguard the land from …

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 …

Present criteria for acceptable grass covered levee overtopping is based on average
overtopping values but does not include the effect of overtopping duration. This paper …

Structures integrated in a grass-covered dike may increase erosion development. Currently,
safety assessment methods for flood defences are only applicable for a conventional grass …

Living plant roots modify both mechanical and hydrological characteristics of the soil matrix

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 …
