Objective
It has been proven that wave run-up is underestimated by small-scale model tests due to scale effects. Therefore, there is a strong suspicion that wave overtopping will be under predicted too. Full-scale measurements on wave overtopping will be carried out at four sites. One site will concentrate on the effect of long waveson shallow water. Full-scale measurement results are simulated by small scale and numerical modelling to quantify and to explain suspected scale effects. As no generic prediction method for crest level assessment exists, this project will create one. All existing data on wave overtopping will be collected and supplemented with the full-scale data and the 'white spot' data gathered in this project. Information on permissible levels of wave overtopping is poor and vague. A hazard analysis (including socio-economic effects) will give a sound answer tithe question of safety of pedestrians, vehicles, buildings, . . .

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
