(TU Delft Hydraulic Structures and Flood Risk; HKV Consultants) Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (TU Delft Hydraulic Structures and Flood Risk) van Vuren, S. (TU Delft Hydraulic Structures and Flood Risk; HKV Consultants) Date 2016-10-20 Abstract Vegetated foreshores such as salt marshes, mangrove forests and reed fields can reduce wave loads on coastal dikes due to depth-induced wave breaking and wave attenuation by vegetation. Here we present field measurements of wave propagation over salt marshes during severe storm conditions, a modelling approach to describe the effect of vegetated foreshores on wave loads on the dike, and a probabilistic model to quantify the effect of vegetated foreshores on failure probabilities of the dike due to wave overtopping.
