Abstract
Shock pressure phenomena due to breaking waves acting on sloping faces of sea dykes are focussed in this paper. The probability approach is pointed out and maximum shock pressure estimations are given for smooth and impermeable dyke slopes 1:4 and 1:6. An extension of the results to steeper and flatter slopes is proposed. Results of full-scale stability tests on concrete block slope revetments are also reported in this paper. For various structural solutions with granular and geotextile filter layers stability numbers are recommended. Initial block lifting is explained physically by pressure measurements. The full-scale experiments were carried out in the new research facility LARGE WAVE CHANNEL of the universities in Hannover and Braunschweig (Federal Republic of Germany).
