A physical model was built at ARTELIA’s hydraulics laboratory in Grenoble (France) to provide insight into: wave and setup at the beach, the evolution of scour over time at the front of the wall, quasi-static and impulsive wave force intensity and distribution on the wall, and water and sand overtopping discharges over the wall. Light-weight sediment physical model and pressure and force measurements were performed with scale 1:18. The paper will discuss the pros and cons of a physical model versus numerical/ empirical models<br><br><b>Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): <a href="https://youtu.be/AeW3SPwDtVg">https://youtu.be/AeW3SPwDtVg</a></b></html>}, number={36v}, journal={Coastal Engineering Proceedings}, author={Perrin, Sylvain and Saillour, Thomas and Baillit, Elodie}, year={2020}, month={Dec.}, pages={structures.30} }
