Hazards Resulting from Wave Overtopping--Full Scale Measurements

The objective of this paper is to describe the recently installed full scale measurement infrastructure to quantify hazards resulting from wave overtopping at the Zeebrugge rubble mound breakwater. First, the measurement site and the specific set-up used for wave overtopping measurements is briefly described in section 2. Section 3 contains the description and design of the instrumentation to quantify hazards and finally in section 4 preliminary conclusions are drawn.
