Numerical investigations for mitigation of tsunami wave impact on onshore buildings using sea dikes
TL;DR: In this paper, a well tested mathematical model is used to bring out important counter intuitive results on the aspect of reducing tsunami impact forces on on-shore buildings using sea dikes, based on numerical solution of the general Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes equations, with SST-k-ω model for turbulence closure.

Wave Impact Loads on Vertical Seawalls: Effects of the Geometrical Properties of Recurve Retrofitting
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the effect of the geometrical properties of recurve retrofitting on the pressure distribution, overall force, and overturning moment at the seawall subject to both impulsive and non-impulsive waves.

An experimental investigation of a vertical wall response to breaking wave impact
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the impact pressure and resulting wall deflection from breaking oscillatory waves on a vertical wall with 1/10 foreshore slope and found that the longerlasting low impact forces are more effective in producing the larger wall deflections.

Description of loading conditions due to violent wave impacts on a vertical structure with an overhanging horizontal cantilever slab
TL;DR: In this article, a vertical structure with an overhanging horizontal cantilevering slab is tested in a small-scale test set-up (with a scale factor of 1:20) under loading conditions of violent wave impacts.
Impact loads induced by plunging breakers on vertical structures
TL;DR: In this article, a large-scale model test on impact loading of a vertical wall by using waves up to 2 m height and 9.4 s period is presented, and the statistical distribution of the impact pressures and forces for different breaker types are also given.

Influence of parapets and recurves on wave overtopping and wave loading of complex vertical walls
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss problems with systematic approaches to both overtopping and wave loading and conclude with a simple reduction factor for wave over-topping depending on geometrical dimensions of the parapets and some guidance on wave loading.

Experiments on a non-wave overtopping type of seawall
TL;DR: In this article, a new type of seawall is proposed, which allows no wave over-topping any more, and the critical crest elevation of the seawall, which defined as the minimum crest elevation on which the wave overtopping dose not occur at all, is investigated through the wave tank experiments.
