Review and Comparison of Methods for Estimating Irregular Wave Overtopping Rates (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Estimating irregular wave overtopping rates is essential for designing coastal defenses.
This report explains how engineers evaluate several methods to predict how water pours over seawalls, breakwaters, and similar structures.
It surveys four established methods, shows how to apply them with practical examples, and discusses the assumptions behind each derivation. The work also outlines which methods fit different design situations and compares the resulting estimates against limited data.
- Clear guidance on when to use each method and how their assumptions affect results
- How irregular waves differ from monochromatic waves in overtopping calculations
- Consideration of related factors like wind, angle of wave attack, and changing still-water levels
- Expected ranges of applicability for coastal design scenarios
Ideal for engineers and designers of seawalls, revetments, and rubble-mound breakwaters seeking practical methods and grounded caveats.
