| Abstract |
In this paper, the influence of changes on the slope, foreshore and position of armour units on overtopping discharges based on small scale model tests is analyzed. The Zeebrugge breakwater (Belgium) was tested in the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (UPVLC) and the Leichtweiss-Institut (LWI) of the Technischen Universität Braunschweig. A 2-D model of the Zeebrugge breakwater was modelled at a 1:30 scale in the wind and wave test facility of the UPVLC. The influence of spatial variability and foreshore was studied by varying the model conditions from a standard situation which can be accurately reproduced in terms of overtopping discharges. The experiments and the corresponding model conditions are also described herein. |
