BACKGROUND Restoration is increasingly implemented to reestablish habitat structure and function following physical anthropogenic disturbance, but scientific knowledge of effectiveness of methods lags behind demand for guidelines. On coral reefs, recovery is largely dependent on coral reestablishment, and substratum stability is critical to the survival of coral fragments and recruits. Concrete...

Wave-induced forces on an armour layer unit are key parameters for assessing the stability of rubble mound coastal revetment, but how to predict them accurately and efficiently remains open question. This study explores feasibility using Morison-type equation convert numerically simulated porous media flow in into a single unit. Wave flume tests conducted, which cuboid placed sloped revetment w...

In this paper existing guidelines to predict wave overtopping on rubble mound breakwaters and coastal structures are modified improved with respect the influence of roughness crest width. Data from recently made model tests data combined demonstrate need for modifying these formulations in EurOtop. A new reduction factor γcw width is established an improvement method by Besley. The slope normal...
