Wave overtopping at breakwaters is one of their essential hydraulic characteristics when determining the design crest level. This study concentrates on developing a new practical formula on predicting wave overtopping, by implementing two different statistical models, Multiple Linear Regression model (MLR) and Generalized Linear Regression model (GLM). The models consider dependency of overtopp...

Seawalls are sheltering structures used for protecting the coastal regions against wave induced forces. Because of random nature of the wave behavior, application of physical models for the study of wave-structure interaction can be quite efficient. In the present research, physical models of thin flexible walls were constructed and tested in a wave flume subject to generated random waves. The ...

The application of coastal, estuarine and river foreshore stabilization protection has a history ‘hard’ engineered solutions. Such approaches create species poor environments often replace diverse natural foreshores. Not without exception, other than low energy that can accommodate purely vegetation restoration approach, the structures such vertical subvertical seawalls, rock revetments or simi...
