Criteria for Evaluating Coastal Flood-Protection Structures
A review of methods for predicting wave runup, overtopping, wave forces, and wave transmission past coastal flood-protection structures is presented for use in evaluating coastal flood-protection structures for potential flood insurance credit. The survivability of various types of coastal flood-protection structures is also discussed. Keywords: Dikes/revetments; Water waves prediction; Flood control structures; Coastal engineering survivability; Bulkheads/levees; Literature surveys; Anchored bulkheads failure. (edc)
