[EN] Extreme storm events and a potential sea level rise are great threats for low lying areas, e.g. in Belgium, the Netherlands and parts of Germany. The wave overtopping of vertical coastal structures is identified as ...
Medina Folgado, Josep Ramon; Vidal, César(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2014-08-04)
[ES] Se describe la evolución de las técnicas de diseño de los diques rompeolas y de algunos equipos y técnicas constructivas que los han impulsado. Se analiza sobre todo la influencia de las investigaciones teóricas y de ...

[EN] Firstly, this MSc Thesis presents an introduction about the design of mound breakwaters and analyses the evolution of their main solicitation, waves, from their generation zona until their breakage. In addition, it ...
Belda Pascual, Moises(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2019-10-31)
[EN] Due to the storms and the predictions of the rise in the mean sea water level, the overtopping rates that occur in some structures are inadmissible, as they jeopardize both the structural safety and that of people or ...

[EN] The crest elevation of mound breakwaters is usually designed considering a tolerable mean wave overtopping discharge. However, pedestrian safety, characterized by the overtopping layer thickness (OLT) and the overtopping ...
Martínez Cantero, Javier(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2017-10-20)
[EN] Coastal defense structures play a major role in the development of ports. As ports are central elements to the local economy, the operability, functionality and safety of their infrastructures must be ensured. Hence, ...
[EN] Climate change and the associated rise in sea levels impose a challenge for current methods used to predict the processes involved in wave-coastal structure interactions: stochastic nature, coexistence of various ...
Mares Nasarre, Patricia(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2021-02-22)
[ES] El cambio climático y la conciencia social sobre el impacto de las infraestructuras en el medio está llevando a la necesidad de diseñar diques en talud con cotas de coronación reducidas frente a eventos de rebase más ...
[EN] Mound breakwater design is evolving owing to rising sea levels caused by climate change and social concern regarding the visual impact of coastal structures. The crest freeboard of coastal structures tends to decrease ...
