Abstract
A Flaring Shaped Seawall (FSS), a new type of one, can drastically reduce a crest height and wave overtopping quantity in comparison with a conventional upright one. The FSS will usually be set on a mound from the point of a cost of manufacturing and construction. Thus, in this paper, effects of the mound on hydraulic characteristics of the FSS (a wave overtopping rate, a wave run-up height and a reflection coefficient) are clarified from experiments using a two-dimensional flume. Furthermore a method for the FSS on the mound is proposed, and it is shown that the method is adequate under the condition of experiments in this paper.
