In a world affected by climate change and sea-level rise, intense storms are expected to become more frequent in the future. This implies that our coastal protections will be often intensely overtopping waves, potentially endangering safety of communities. The objective present study is investigate hazard people/pedestrians postwave flows over an inclined surface, simulating dike.

The present paper deals with overtopping prediction for berm breakwaters in line the EurOtop methodology. basis is recent advances proposed conventional respect to influence of wave steepness and crest width. New model tests have been performed investigate applicability these factors breakwaters. To cover a white spot existing data breakwaters, included conditions very low steepness. results sh...

This paper presents a new and easily repeatable method for assessing the susceptibility of glacial lakes to outburst floods (GLOFs) within the Peruvian region of the Cordillera Blanca. The presented method was designed to: (a) be repeatable (from the point of view of the demands on input data), (b) be reproducible (to provide an instructive guide for different assessors), (c) provide multiple r...

The amount of wave overtopping at coastal structures such as vertical caisson breakwaters is strongly dependent on the angle attack. reducing effects oblique waves compared to perpendicular attack has been studied by means three-dimensional basin tests. In these physical model tests breakwater exposed conditions with angles between and very (i.e. 0°–75° in steps 15°). Short-crested long-crested...

A probabilistic framework is developed to calculate the cross-dike failure probability by overtopping waves on grass-covered dikes. The of dike profiles including transitions and damages can be computed find most likely location quantify decrease in when this strengthened. erosion depth along profile calculated using distributions for water level, wind speed cover strength. Failure defined as e...

Conventionally, allowable mean overtopping discharge is used as a design criterion for coastal structures. The needs to be limited ensure structural stability well the safety of people, vehicles, and properties behind structure. Nowadays, limits maximum individual volumes are also specified in manuals, which requires study wave wave-by-wave form. In some cases, order achieve more reliable pedes...

Overtopping dam break is a frequent accident in tailings reservoirs. However, little attention has been paid to the study of overtopping hydraulic erosion damage characteristics after adding reinforcement. Nowadays, there were few people have researched prediction failure process reinforced dam. It important significance establish model for which aims at problem tailings. For anti-erosion and a...
