Abstract
Wave runup is an important factor for coastal levee design and flood defence activities along the coast. A calculation method of wave runup height often used for facility design is based on model experiments with relatively-steep slope (steeper than 1/30). We proposed new calculation equations of wave runup height for very gentle slope (milder than 1/30), and verified the equations and other methods by field observations in three coasts. The field verification results that our equation can precisely calculate wave runup height in a gentle-slope coast, and that calculation method of wave runup height should be selected based on sea bottom slope and wave steepness.
