Introduction to bed, bank and shore protection.
TL;DR: Loads (flow, waves, ships, porous flow), Erosion (flow flow, remainder) Load reduction, stability, protections, construction and maintenance, design as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coastal Management Software to Support the Decision-Makers to Mitigate Coastal Erosion
TL;DR: It is considered that COMASO tools can help giving answers to the major problems of the coastal planning and management entities, integrating transversal knowledge in risk assessment, physical processes, engineering and economic evaluations.

Analisis Hidrodinamika di Perairan Lemong, Kabupaten Lampung Barat, Provinsi Lampung Menggunakan Piranti Surface-Water Modeling System
Andojo Wurjanto,Harman Ajiwibowo +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used an online nesting method utilizing four stages of grid resolution with 1 x 1 km 2 as the highest used around the Lemong Beach Waters to identify the tidal and current characteristics in Lemong waters as a part of coastal protection planning.

Energy loss and set-up due to breaking of random waves
J.A. Battjes,J.P.F.M. Janssen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a model was developed for the prediction of the dissipation of energy in random waves breaking on a beach and the probability of occurrence of breaking waves was estimated on the basis of a wave height distribution with an upper cut-off which in shallow water is determined mainly by the local depth.
Rock slopes and gravel beaches under wave attack
TL;DR: In this article, the stability of cliff slopes and gravel beaches under wave attack has been investigated with the aid of small and large scale physical models, and the range from "no damage" to statically stable structures up to the profile development of very small (4 mm) shingle under prototype circumstan-
The "swan" wave model for shallow water
TL;DR: In this article, the SWAN (Simulating WAves Nearshore) model for the computation of wave conditions in shallow water with ambient currents is briefly described and a new development to formulate the model on a curvi-linear grid to accommodate linkage to hydro-dynamic circulation models is presented and a first test is shown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acceptable risk as a basis for design
TL;DR: In this article, a set of rules for the evaluation of risk is proposed and tested in cases, leading to technical advice in a question that has to be decided politically, and the benefits and costs including risk are weighed in the decision process.
