Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering | | English term or phrase: (wave) overtopping | Understanding future changes in flood risk from waves overtopping seawalls or other structures is a key requirement for effective management of coastal defences.
Occurrences of economic damage or loss of life due to the hazardous nature of wave overtopping are more likely, and coastal managers and users are more aware of health and safety risks. Seawalls range from simple earth banks through to vertical concrete walls and more complex composite structures. Each of these require different methods to assess overtopping. |
