 Abstract

A number of equations has been developed for calculation overtopping quantities over breakwaters, as well as equations to describe the stability of the inner slope. However, not all the water which overtops the outer boundary of the breakwater will reach the inner slope; part of the water is infiltrated in the crest. In this paper data are presented on the percentage of water infiltrating in the crest of the breakwater. The results are compared with the equation presented in the UK overtopping manual.
