Stability and Transmission at Low-Crested Structures
Low-crested structures have two main design aspects: stability and the amount of wave transmission. The stability of these structures is sometimes higher than at non-overtopped structures, due to the fact that wave energy can pass over the crest, giving lower wave forces on the armour layer of the seaward slope. Low-crested structures can be classified into three categories: dynamically stable reef breakwaters, statically stable low-crested structures with the crest above swl and statically stable submerged structures. Well described investigations on stability at various institutes (in total about 275 tests) were re-analyzed and this has led to practical design formulae and graphs, with respect to stability, for each of the three classes mentioned above.
