| Abstract |
The determination of the crest level is one of the most important points in the design of sloping coastal structures. The crest level of sloping coastal structures is governed by wave run-up and overtopping. Recent measurement results of run-up on prototype have indicated that wave run-up may be underpredicted by scale model tests. So full scale measurements of wave run-up is necessary. At the same time the overtopping discharge on a prototype breakwater will be measured. Within the MAST III - OPTICREST project, these measurements will be carried out at coastal structures at two locations: Zeebrugge (Belgium) and Petten (The Netherlands). The results obtained from these prototype measurements will be compared with those from scale model tests and will be used to calibrate numerical models. This paper also presents the contents of the OPTICREST project. |
