Abstract
The museum will be built on a landmass retained by a vertical seawall with varying top elevations, protected by four detached breakwaters. One of the main challenges of the study was to limit wave overtopping and negative wave pressures on the seawall while minimizing the visual impact of the detached breakwaters. Empirical approaches and a series of numerical and 2D/3D physical models were used to validate and optimize the design of the detached breakwaters, while still meeting the project requirements in regards to wave loads and wave overtopping discharges.References
