TLDR
In this paper, the effects of submerged berms on the incident waves transformation have been evaluated by means of a numerical model, validated by using experimental data, and a parametric correction factor of the incident significant wave height at the toe of the structure is provided and included in well established design criteria.About:

A simplified hindcast method for the estimation of extreme storm surge events in semi-enclosed basins
TL;DR: In this paper, a simplified method is proposed to hindcast storm surge levels time series in semi-enclosed basins with low computational costs, based on a mixed approach in which the estimation of storm surge obtained by using the theory of linear dynamic system is corrected by using a statistical method.

The role of submerged berms on the momentary liquefaction around conventional rubble mound breakwaters
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of submerged berms on the incident waves transformation have been evaluated by means of a phase resolving numerical model for simulating non-hydrostatic, free-surface, rotational flows.

Exploiting remote imagery in an embayed sandy beach for the validation of a runup model framework
TL;DR: In this article, a model framework for predicting wave-induced runup on an embayed sandy beach is validated by means of measurements derived from a video-monitoring station, recently installed in South Italy, during two storm events in 2016.

Laboratory Investigation on the Evolution of a Sandy Beach Nourishment Protected by a Mixed Soft–Hard System
TL;DR: In this paper, a new experimental campaign on a 2D movable-bed physical model, reproducing a typical nourishment sandy beach profile, is carried out in the wave flume of the Laboratory of Coastal Engineering at Politecnico di Bari (Bari, Italy).

The Effects of Urban and Economic Development on Coastal Zone Management
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the possible mutual interaction of land transformation and coastal management zones, studying the possible impact on local coastal communities, and found that the most important improvement in local economies in the region can be associated with coastal stretches characterized by a high environmental value.

Estimation of incident and reflected waves in random wave experiments
Yoshimi Goda,Tasumasa Suzuki +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a technique to resolve the incident and reflected waves from the records of composite waves is presented, which is applicable to both regular and irregular trains of waves and is effective in the range outside the condition of the gauge spacing being even integer of half wavelength.

The Measurement of Incident and Reflected Spectra Using a Least squares Method
Etienne Mansard,E.R. Funke +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a least square method to separate the incident and reflected spectra from the measured coexisting spectra is presented, which requires a simultaneous measurement of the waves at three positions in the flume which are in reasonable proximity to each other and are on a line parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
