Abstract

Full scale wave run-up measurements have been performed on the Zebrugge rubble mound breakwater. Wave run-up also has been investigated on various small scale models of the Zeebrugge breakwater. A significant difference between the results has been noticed. Additional small scale model testing has been carried out on a slightly modified scale model: a regular armour unit pattern has been applied in stead of an irregular pattern as in full scale. The aim of the additional laboratory tests was to investigate the influence of the spectral width parameter and the influence of the position of the wave run-up step gauge with respect to the armour unit pattern and the water level.
