WAVE OVERTOPPING OF BLOCK MOUND SEAWALLS WITH SLIT WALLS

A series of hydraulic model experiments were conducted to investigate the wave overtopping characteristics of a block mound seawall with double slit walls. Wave overtopping was reduced by the slit walls on concrete caisson. Furthermore, the effective shape of slit wall (opening ratio, crest elevationl, location) was found to reduce the wave overtopping.
