| Abstract |
| Wave run-up on a breakwater or a dyke is very important with regard to the determination of the necessary height of the structure. In situ test results show a 50% higher Ru than measured in laboratory. The objective of this project is confirmation of the in situ results and a scientific explanation of the difference between laboratory results and in situ results. The expected impact on breakwater and sea-dyke design is very important. |
