Abstract
This paper discusses wave processes that happen after a wave has impacted on a coastal structure. The paper gives, for the first time, measurements of the throw of overtopping waves at vertical seawalls / breakwaters, including their velocity / trajectory, and the loadings that result when overtopping water lands back onto the deck of the structure.
