Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a valuable study of wave runup on riprap, a prevalent method of coastal protection. The study explores the relationship between wave characteristics and runup elevation, providing insights into the design of effective revetments. The author analyzes data from extensive laboratory tests, using innovative methods to estimate wave heights at the structure toe. This approach enhances the accuracy of runup predictions, offering engineers and coastal managers a more reliable tool. The book also delves into the influence of surf characteristics on runup, identifying the importance of the modified surf parameter in predicting maximum wave uprush. By incorporating this parameter, engineers can account for the impact of water depth and wave nonlinearity, leading to more precise designs. The findings contribute to the ongoing development of wave runup models, aiding in the protection of coastal infrastructure and communities from the damaging effects of waves. With its rigorous analysis and practical insights, this book is an essential resource for coastal engineers and researchers seeking to advance the field of coastal protection.
