Wave overtopping is an important factor for designing harbor breakwater and shore-protection structure, and the safety of facilities, working areas and people in their lee. This paper reports the results of a series of laboratory experiments on the effect of six types of wave energy dissipation mechanisms on wave overtopping over a bermed seawall that protects a reclaim land for a specialized yacht industry zone in Taiwan. Numerical method using NN-Overtopping is also applied to determine suitable building setback distance for storm in different recurrent periods.
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.
