Crest level assessment of coastal structures by full scale monitoring, neural network prediction and hazard analysis on permissible wave overtopping

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, . . .

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
