Large-scale physical model test measurements of wave run-up are compared with wave run-up prediction derived from the Shore Protection Manual (SPM). Noteworthy discrepancies between the results of these two methods have been identified that include substantial overestimation of wave run-up elevations using the SPM approach, and computation of roughness coefficient values that vary as a function of wave steepness. The slope armors tested in the study at model scales of 1:3 and 1:4 include linked concrete matting and overlapped gravel-filled fabric bags.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
