One of the main challenges of the study was to limit wave overtopping and negative wave pressures on the seawall while minimizing the visual impact of the detached breakwaters. Empirical approaches and a series of numerical and 2D/3D physical models were used to validate and optimize the design of the detached breakwaters, while still meeting the project requirements in regards to wave loads and wave overtopping discharges.}, number={35}, journal={Coastal Engineering Proceedings}, author={Keppers, Chris Wim and Seifart, Christian and Johnson, Toby and Goncalves, Joao and Cayrol, Cyrielle and Perrin, Sylvain}, year={2017}, month={Jun.}, pages={structures.4} }
