Abstract

In designing coastal protective structures the knowledge of the static load due to the water level elevation is as important as that of the dynamic load due to the waves. The structure, designed at sandy coasts with well formed surf zones on the beach - these areas are the basis of this examination - has to stand against both, the superposition of the static and dynamic load, which are dependent on each other. Undoubtedly a rise in the design water level (a summation of different influences - see figure 1) will cause an increase in the wave heights and the reverse will happen, when the design water level decreases.
