Abstract
The crest level of coastal structures such as dikes and breakwaters is often based on estimates of the amount of wave overtopping. One of the important parameters affecting wave overtopping is the angle of the incident waves since oblique waves can significantly reduce the amount of wave overtopping compared to perpendicular wave attack. Based on 3D physical model tests on dikes, rubble mound breakwaters and vertical caisson breakwaters, the influence of oblique wave attack has been evaluated. A new expression for oblique waves has been derived that can be applied for all tested structure types.
