PREDICTION OF WAVE RUN-UP ON A COASTAL IMPERMEABLE STRUCTURE

Abstract

A knowledge of wave run-up behavior on a coastal structure is one of the most important factors affecting the design of coastal structures exposed to wave attack. Prediction of wave run-up on a coastal impermeable structure with slope face and various friction factors are discussed with simplifying assumptions. An analytical approach is given for predicting wave run-up based on data measurements as the parameters of  incident waves entering to coastal structure.  Statistical approach with Weibull distribution is given on prediction of wave run-up, and present the probability distribution of wave run-up height.
