Events >  Prediction of wave overtopping for coastal and shoreline defences (EurOtop)

Prediction of wave overtopping for coastal and shoreline defences (EurOtop)

17 April 2012
Wallingford, UK


EurOtop12 Developments close to the shoreline (coastal, estuarial or lakefront) are often exposed to significant flood risk and/or potential overtopping damage during storms, yet such sites are often highly valued. Wave overtopping / flood risks are likely to increase driven by increased sea levels, and stronger wind speeds.

Understanding flood risk from wave overtopping is a key requirement for effective management of coastal/shoreline defences, but such defences range from simple earth banks through to vertical concrete walls, or more complex composite structures. Each of these require different methods to assess overtopping.

This course (based on the EurOtop manual, and given by two of the EurOtop authors) will give guidance on analysis and/or prediction of wave overtopping for flood defences attacked by wave action. The manual has been intended to assist coastal engineers analyse overtopping performance of most types of sea defence found around Europe. Methods and guidance described in the manual may also be helpful to designers or operators of breakwaters, reclamations, or inland lakes or reservoirs.

This course will be presented by Professor William Allsop and Dr Tim Pullen (lead authors of the EurOtop Manual).
