Abstract
Wave run-up plays an important role in the design of coastal protection structures. However, none of the existing formulae for wave run-up predictions explicitly considers the effect of revetment porosity. Recently a new kind of highly porous bonded revetment (Elastocoast) was tested in the Large Wave Flume (GWK) of Forschungszentrum Küste (FZK). A comparison between run-up data obtained from classical wire gauges and timestack image analysis showed good agreement. The effect of porosity was incorporated into a state-of-the-art run-up formula and for the present case could be determined to reduce relative run-up heights R2%/Hm0 by about 25 % up to nearly 50 % in the limit compared to a smooth impermeable slope.
