Breaker travel and choice of design wave height
Experiments on three-plane laboratory beaches suggest that potentially damaging effect of breaking waves may be spread over significant horizontal distance; combined effect of breaker travel and breaker depth-to-height ratio is such that structures sited in shallow water on moderate or steep slopes can be subject to breaking wave heights significantly larger than design heights computed according to accepted practice; experimental results are consistent with solitary wave description of oscillatory waves at breaking, and with limiting heights of breaking waves measured on rubble-mound breakwaters.
