Abstract

Field measurements and laboratory investigations were performed on an impermeable dike and the corresponding shallow foreshore. At this site storm conditions and wave run-up levels were measured by Rijkswaterstaat. Two-dimensional physical model tests were performed by WL | Delft Hydraulics and three-dimensional physical model tests were performed by University College Cork. The match between the laboratory tests and the field measurements appeared to be rather good. The three series of measurements also contributed to a prediction method for wave run-up on dikes (Van Gent, 200i).
