Abstract
The wave overtopping performances of sloping seawall under oblique and multi-directional irregular waves are studied, by 3D physical model tests. The effects of some main parameters, such as relative crest freeboard, slope of armor layout, wave direction and multi-directionality etc, on mean overtopping discharge are investigated and a formula for estimating the mean overtopping discharge of sloping seawall under the oblique and multi-directional waves is presented. Single wave overtopping volume is also investigated. For concrete armor seawall, a three-parameter Weibull function is used to fit the probability distribution of single wave overtopping and the expressions for estimating the shape coefficient B and percent of wave overtopping in the Weibull function are also given, by which the single overtopping volume corresponding a given exceedance probability in certain condition thus can be calculated. For dolosse armor seawall, a method for estimating single wave overtopping volume with exceedance frequency 0.01 under different conditions is given.
