Abstract

Wave run-up phenomena due to breaking waves acting on sea dykes are focussed in this paper. Field measurements at two locations of the North Sea Coast are reviewed and compared with full-scale investigations in the Large Wave Channel, Hannover. Commonly used design approaches on wave run-up at sea dykes are discussed. For some naturally shaped shallow wave spectra (Pierson-Moskowitz type) estimations are proposed for wave run-up, run-down and water front velocity in relation tp the wave height and to the breaker number.
