The Polish government has made a decision to build nuclear power plant (NPP) in the South Baltic coastal zone. This means that three major types of structures will be located nearshore: (1) breakwaters and wharf where ships may dock load unload cargo (harbor), (2) seawalls protecting shore against erosion storm surge floods, (3) an underwater piping system for cold water intake heated discharge...

Although there exist advanced models which predict beach profile for natural beaches, the behavior of the beaches in front of seawalls still suffers from the lack of appropriate theoretical models and sufficient measured data. In this paper, following the results obtained from the measurements, a beach profile evolution model is developed, using the measured probability distribution of the nea...

As coastal communities face increasing chronic and acute hazards, nature-based engineering solutions have experienced a rapid growth in popularity interest. Recent works on this topic shown that “green infrastructure” may be effective at mitigating hazards thus potential as sustainable adaptation alternatives to traditional such seawalls breakwaters. However, the amount of protection green infr...
